Abstract: A method of managing storage of address book data records at an electronic device includes provisioning, at the electronic device, a new Personal Information Manager (PIM) service account including address book functionality on the electronic device, automatically updating, by the electronic device, address book data records stored on the electronic device and not associated with another PIM service account to associate the address book data records with the new PIM service account provisioned on the electronic device in response to provisioning the new PIM service account, and sending, from the electronic device, the updated address book data records for storage at the PIM service account thereby merging the address book data records stored only at the electronic device with address book data records at the new PIM service account.

Abstract: A method and computing device for encoding an image according to a preset encoding parameter for the image. The encoding producing an encoded image having a file size. If it is determined that the file size exceeds a maximum file size and the encoding parameter does not meet a threshold, the encoding parameter is modified. The encoding, determining and modifying are repeated until the file size does not exceed a maximum file size or the encoding parameter meets the threshold.

Abstract: There is described a mobile device comprising a display screen for displaying an image of a clock having a resolution of at least a first digit representing a tenth of a second and a second digit representing a hundredth of a second; and a processor having an internal clock, the processor adapted to update at least the first digit of the image of the clock on the display screen with true elapsed time, and to update the second digit with a non-true number.

Abstract: A method of associating an image with a contact record on a mobile device. The contact record is displayed in a user interface and the user selects an image file for association with the contact record. The selected image is rendered and overlaid with a cropping shape. The image is cropped in accordance with a position of the cropping shape to produce a sub-image, which is then encoding in accordance with a predefined image format to produce a sub-image file, and stored in association with the contact record.
