Whilst I am testing the INQ Mini, one thing that has proved useful is INQ’s belief in being open about their products.  Firstly, they are happy to provide feedback via their twitter account (@inqmobile).  More importantly, though, is their decision to offer direct technical support via Get Satisfaction.  Not just does this help the end user in getting answers to their questions, it can also offer useful information over and above what the mobile network operator may tell you.

For example, when INQ developed the device, they included a link on the Switcher App to the INQ Hub, which acts, in essence, as an App Store for the device.  However, INQ have confirmed that 3UK have not selected this option, and it is not available on the device here in the UK.  However, INQ have confirmed that the App Store is still available to 3UK customers by simply pointing their browser to m.inq.getjar.com, which provides the content behind the INQ Hub, so the same information and applications are available.

Many applications available from GetJar are free, so it offers easy access to Java / Brew specific applications which are pretty much guaranteed to run fine on the phone.

So, there’s the tip; if you are looking for additional applications for your INQ Mini, head to m.inq.getjar.com and see what’s available (and when we checked, there’s a lot available…)
