Screen Shots
Hi, is it possible for you to post some screen shots?
It is actually a very straightforward application in the sense style. First line is an edit field where you type in your list item and press on a button to add the item to your list.
Once an item is on the list you have a check box. If you check the box, presumably you have purchased the item.
There are three filters. One to display all items, one to display items that are checked and one to display items that have not been checked.
SQL CE Compact 3.5 SP2 attached.
Best regards,
-boggsie
Screenshots
I think, need an option to clear all list.
PS Sometimes, if list is long, long tap menu don't work
PPS Dont know what i ve done, but now i have message "Cant add item to database" ))
Thanks boggsie posting the SQL Compact cab file.
Because I wonder whether I can distribute MS software in a forums, I didn't post the attachement. Once I have privilege to post external link, I will add link to download SQL Compact in the first post.
Thanks sergiorus testing my application and the screenshots.
For the errors you found, would you mind please send me the log file "MobileShoppingList.log" which inside the application folder to me for investigation.
Bugs
1. Sometimes, if list is long, long tap menu don't work
--> I can reproduce this issue, bug fixed.
2. Dont know what i ve done, but now i have message "Cant add item to database"
--> Cannot reproduce, may require the log file for investigation.
Requests
1. I think, need an option to clear all list.
--> Clarification required. Do you mean delete all items? or Uncheck all checked items?
As a new user, how can I quote the reply message?
How can I become a user without such restrictions?

Have you installed the prerequisite SQL Compact 3.5? (Download link posted in #1)
There should be a log file inside the application directory which records errors occurred.
If you don't mind, you can send the log file to me (Private message) for investigation.
94 downloads for v1.1 program. Any feedback for me to evolve the program to 1.2?
Thanks

Hi,
App looks good but the installation stopped me in my tracks.
I downloaded the SQL Compact 3.5 as linked in the first post, but all it did was install a load of files and folders to my Program Files folder on my laptop. It didn't install anything to my Topaz, and there didn't seem to be anything obvious to choose from in the Program Files folder. After copying the cab for the main app across, it obviously wouldn't run (I assume because the SQL thing didn't get installed).
I'm not the biggest noob around here (at least I hope not), but I found the installation too difficult. Would it be possible for the app to check for prerequisites on first run, and ideally download the necessary cabs? Or could you provide a download link here to a CAB for the prerequisite? As opposed to a 22mb MSI file that doesn't even create a Start Menu entry!
Would still like to try it if I can get it working ;-)

Thank you for your feedback.
I attached the SQL Server Compact Edition SP2 cab file in the attachment section and changed the prerequisite download link to download the attachment.
Welcome to try the application again.
Thanks, works now after installing the prerequisite.
Performs as expected, no bugs or anything that I've noticed. Compared to the other shopping list-type apps that I've tried it's pretty good; it's nice and simple. I suppose if you wanted to develop it further you could have multiple lists (eg Groceries, Pharmacy, etc). But from my point of view it would be important that you can still just load up the app and start adding items straight away.
Is there any way that the startup time of the app can be improved, or is that just down to the SQL and the platform? At the moment it takes a bit longer to startup on my Topaz than it's nearest competitor (Winmo's built-in Notes). Perhaps an option in the Menu to minimise, as opposed to exit? so that it's still running in the background and it can be picked from the task manager? This way it encourages users to leave it running in the background so that startup is quicker.
Anyway really like the app, thanks a mill!
Hi, does it has autosort function of items (items I have bought go down of list)

No such function at the moment.
I will add this feature to the wishlist and develop this in v1.2.
feature wish: A "masterlist" where you can store all your favorite products would be nice so that you don't have to write the same again and again to have a new shopping list.
Just go into your product list and tap your needed products and you have the shopping list finished.

wheresmybeaver, Thank you for your feedback.
I considered your suggestions,
1. Multiple shopping lists (eg Groceries, Pharmacy, etc) --> I will develop a Shop Master List function to allow user to group shopping items by different shops.
2. I will try to improve the startup time of the program.
3. Funtion to minimize the program --> Actually if you tap on the X/OK button at the upper right corner, the program should be minimized. It's one of the WM default feature.

S2V is a stylus-free picture viewing application. It can also be used to set up the wallpapers for S2U2 (0.97 or later); assign a pic to a contact; set it as Today's wallpaper; or send it via MMS/email.
Prerequisition:
- WM5 Phone or WM6 Professional devices
- free RAM: at least 6M for QVGA
- if you cannot start S2V, delete the whole registry tree HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V, then start S2V again.
Changes of v0.42
- fixed the occasional bug that S2V quit unexpectedly when viewing a particular folder.
- added the options to change the sorting menu symbol. It's only useful for those devices that cannot display the triangles on the sorting menu. How? Create a registry value AscendingSymbol (String) at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V\, set the content to whatever you want, e.g. ^, or even a word (ascending). Create another one called DescendingSymbol for the descending order.
- fixed some minor bugs.
Changes of v0.40 (20-8-2008)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
- added sort option by time or name.
- added thumbnail pic cache (the cache folder can be custom by the registry value "CacheFolder" at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V\).
- added send function to send a pic via MMS/email.
- added sliding effect when zooming a pic.
- added support to RealVGA.
- reduced the chances of blank screen when a device has enough memory.
- separate CAB files for QVGA(low-res) & VGA(high-res) devices.
- changed some menu labels; for non-English translation, pls refer to the lang.ini file.
- fixed some minor bugs.
Changes of v0.38 (23-5-2008)
- added a delete function.
- added option to open a pic through the command switch (for advanced users, you can now associate pic files to be opened by S2V).
- added some shortcuts: ANSWER key to quit; END/OK key to minimize; tap the top right corner to minimize.
- reduced the RAM usage a little.
- reduced the contact pic size so as to reduce the chance of Outlook sync error (but for VGA or above devices, there is still chances that the pic will over the size that Outlook can handle).
- all system icons are live when S2U2 (v1.00 or later) is already running in the background.
- fixed the issue that some devices cannot run in Landscape mode.
- fixed some minor bugs.
Screenshots:
Thumbnail view & folder view (press the folder name to view that folder's pic; press the ARROW to view that folder's sub-folders)
Operations:
- Slide the screen to view the previous or next picture (or press the DPAD left/right);
- Slide on the left-side screen from top to bottom to rotate 90 degrees anti-clockwise; slide from bottom to top to rotate 90 degrees clockwise; when sliding on the right-side screen, the rotation will be opposite.
- Press DPAD Up to Zoom-in or Down to Zoom-out; double-tap the screen or push the DPAD-ACTION to return to the normal view.
- Slightly press the screen to call up the lower menu.
- Press the Back button at the Thumbnail screen to browse folders.
- When browsing folders, if there is an Arrow button next to a folder, it means that folder has subfolders. Press this Arrow button to view the subfolders.
- Shortcuts: ANSWER key to quit; END/OK key to minimize; tap the top right corner to minimize.
For details, as usual, please read the Readme file or the next post.

README
Installation:
- Under your PC/MAC/device, extract the content of the downloaded file & copy the CAB file to your device.
- Under your device, run any File Explorer application; go to the folder where the CAB file is copied; run the CAB file.
Known limitations & FAQs:
Q. Do I have to install the old version before using this version?
A. No.
Q. How to use the .CAB file?
A. http://www.google.com/search?q=install+cab
Q. Do I have to install S2U2 before installing S2V?
A. No.
Q. Can a GIF file be assigned to a contact?
A. No.
Q. When viewing GIF file, there is no animation?!
A. Yes.
Q. After assigning a photo to a contact, the Activesync on the PC shows an error!
A. It's because the size of the assigned photo is too large for Outlook to handle. You may manually press the sync button once more to dismiss the error, but it will not be saved in Outlook.
A. Upgrade to v0.38 or later.
Q. After running S2V a while, the ZOOM function/folder browsing does not work!
A. That's because your device is running out of free memory.
Q. When browsing folders, I cannot view the subfolders?! S2V always say "no picture here"?!
A. It's because the pics are sit at the subfolders. If a folder has subfolders, an "ARROW" button will be displayed next to it. Press that "ARROW" button will show the subfolders.
Q. After assigned a pic as Today's wallpaper, then change to Landscape mode, the wallpaper does not work?!
A. You have to assign another pic as the Landscape wallpaper as well.

Not tested. Just give it a try.
This looks great, I can't wait to test it. Its already posted over in PPCGeeks (that was fast).
I must say A_C....I just got the iTouch, and your apps (S2U2, and I think this as well) are better than what is offered on the 'original' devices. More features, better support, and smoother operation!!!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
Saying it's not a valid pocket pc app when I try running it from my phone. I have a samsung i760....

Thanks for the new app, will give it a try to day!
you are the master!!!
wow.. fantastic app!! another surprise from you....it is really a fantastic app.. would like to replace it with the default picture application. you are great!!
Bella A_C,
this app looks nice and clean as S2U2 do, too.
Wishlist :

You are a great dev

Have you installed S2U2 as well? If yes, upgrade it to v0.97 first.
MIX all the goodies
In addition to the application mentioned in the thread in the quete below
i would like to point out the free application here
http://www.pocketcm.com/imageviewer.php
it would be nice if all three applications mix:
1 iphone display (from one pic to another) in the thread below
2 zoom and pan from the link i mentioned above
3 adding the pics to S2U2 from your application
THANKSSSSSSSSSSS

very smooth sliding..its really cool
it would be perfect with landscape support and zoom ability
This project is no longer active due do a hard-drive crash and my loss of the source code.. To anyone looking for an active and up-to-date solution, I would suggest naong's MobileSense and his BackgroundChanger. It is very similar to MS3Config and I believe he will be implementing more features as time goes on.
Spb Mobile Shell 3 Configuration Utility (MS3Config v0.16)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a small application I am developing that I hope will evolve into a full-fledged skin editor for Spb Mobile Shell 3. At the moment it only has the ability to change panel backgrounds (among some other helpful tool options), but it has a decent GUI and is unique in that it does not overwrite any changes that have previously been made to your copy of MS3 by other skins or widget packs... I have a long way to go but take a look at the features in the changes list and the planned features below it... Please give as much feedback as possible, good or bad, and don't hesitate to make suggestions... This is my attempt at giving back to the community, please enjoy it ...

not working on diamond
Hello,
Tried it on Diamond. Program itself is working fine, but it actually changes nothing.
Backgrounds stay the same as original.
Sorry.
Kind regards

Have you tried changing the backgrounds to some of your own? I installed the app on my friend's Mogul this morning and noticed that everything was patched correctly but only half of the panels actually showed backgrounds ...
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the resolutions of the images I included are meant for VGA displays ...
Try changing the images to something smaller and let me know what happens

What is the installation folder for your copy of MS3? .. The folder with MobileShell.exe in it ...
I found a bug:
It worked great and changed the backgrounds just like intended. But I am using the titanium theme for MS3 and when you scroll down the new background ends you scroll into the old background. It seems your program crops the image to your screen size and thats all.

Works just fine on my QVGA, havent tried it on VGA devices. This is very good work. I hope this will eventually be fully integrated with all Themes, widgets etc. Yes, this is very much needed!!

I'm still learning the specifics regarding the scrolling behavior and backgrounds but I'll look into it as soon as possible ...
You say that scrolling past the background you set with MS3Config will show the background from the Titanium theme below it? ... Which panels do you see this behavior and do you have a link to a download of the Titanium theme handy? I'm away from my desktop but I'll try to reproduce the problem you are describing.

Can you check which folder your copy of Spb Mobile Shell 3 is installed in and let me know ...
THANKs volDeus

If it doesn't work and requires alot of work to port .. Most likely not for a while ..

In Spanish doesn't work!!
In Spanish, the default folder is \Archivos de programa\... for M3 and M3Config. When I try the 'panels' menu in M3Config, this error appears:
\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\qa_layouts.dat is not a valid zip file
And it's normal, cause the correct file is in '\Archivos de programa\Spb Mobile Shell\...' how can I change this? A registry entry?
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
A little tool I wrote for WinMo 5 and up. Uses a custom built alphanumeric text cipher to secure just about any text-related operations you can think of. Enter a message in the interface, followed by a codeword, select 'sneak' or 'unsneak', and hit 'do it'. The app will then either securely encrypt the message, or decrypt it. Maybe good for those couples who both use WinMo

NEW: An iPhone version has been released on the App Store for 99 cents - if you like the work I do here, feel free to purchase a copy on iTunes for either you or your friend... now your iPhone-using friends and colleagues can join in the fun too! Get it here at http://itunes.com/app/sneaktext
Edit: WOW this has been awesome! Got probably 100+ downloads on this within 2 days, so glad you seem to like it so much
If you want, feel free to post any success-stories or reviews in this thread, I wanna know how you guys are using it and what you think, whether I could improve it or what features I could add/remove... if you want of course
And again, totally optional, but this would be awesomely helpful if you could (my Wizard is really starting to perform its death-rattle now, battery's starting to screw up), please donate and help me on my way to a Touch HD so I can keep on writing apps for you guys, maybe even learn to cook and push a few ROMs out
YAEdit: Doesn't seem like I can embed a button that easy, so if anyone is interested in donating, PM me and I'll give you my paypal details
New version uploaded today (11/29/2009), same version number because it's a bugfix/minor change
Changes:
- Removed 'help' menu and replaced with 'edit' (about button is now in functions menu)
- Added 'edit' menu which enables you to copy from and paste to the 'message' field. You still need to type your key, but IMO that's good practice...keeps the keys memorabl
I changed the attachment in the first post to point to the latest version, so you can download it exactly the same
If you have any suggestions on what I could do to improve the app, let me know in this thread

LtBrenton, sorry for the dumb question but how do I sent the encrypted message via text. What is the procedure? do I copy and paste or is stored in a folder somewhere?
Hey, just copy and paste the resultant ciphertext into a new SMS. Remember the receiving party also needs to have a copy of the app and know your codeword they then paste it into the app and decode it

Thanks,
Well I've had nearly 40 downloads already just from here, so I wanna ask, how are you guys doing? Any comments on features, stuff I should add, change, or whatever? Drop them here, I'd love to hear your input
Also take a look at http://twickret.wordpress.com <- It's just a desktop edition right now, with an iPhone version imminent, but I'd like to see a show of hands for anyone who wants me to bash out a WinMo version of this for you guys to include in your ROMs Let me know what you think

Great app!
Is there a way to implement copy/paste withing the app, by tapping & holding? On my touch pro i need to use the keyboard to ctrl+c/v to copy/paste the text, but on my HD I can't copy paste text at all.
Other than that great work!
hey, on the HD for now you'll need to use the windows SIP ctrl+c/ctrl+v. I wasn't aware the tap/hold menu didn't work. I'll get this fixed in the next release as soon as my ISP stops dicking around with the 3G node...mobile lines suck when they're your main link
Update, it's fixed and the binary's been built. Unfortunately got no way to upload it for now but it's coming VERY soon
Changes:
- Removed 'help' menu and replaced with 'edit' (about button is now in functions menu)
- Added 'edit' menu which enables you to copy from and paste to the 'message' field. You still need to type your key, but IMO that's good practice...keeps the keys memorable
OK, fixed version is now downloadable from the first post in this thread Have fun
Out of interest, would anybody be interested in a "Secure-XDA" ROM consisting of a pile of crypto tools bundled? I was thinking of something like the following:
- sneakText installed by default
- Notes replaced by encrypted version
- Lockscreen replaced with a PIN/password prompt, which can have configurable 'consequences' for bad entries (such as forensic-wipe of certain files, SMS alert to configurable number, or in an extreme case, forensic wipe -> hard-reset)
- Built-in support for file/email encryption with PGP or similar
- other similar features
- Cool 'secret agent' theme
Any thoughts?
i will try and get a video of the app this weekend ..
Sweet, thanks for that man Looking forward to it

Credits
First of all thanks to xda-developers forum user zefiltrin (hugocbp) for the idea (see his thread), also thanks to other members on that thread for their comments
LateReader uses Sense SDK, and I must admit that this wonderful library freed me from hundreds of lines of custom drawing code.
I used Majestic12 HTML parser for parsing page texts
Finally I must thank to the makers of Read It Later

Getting Null Reference Exception. Could not add anything to the list as the add button is grayed out.
Error and phone details are attached..
Thanks for the very fast response.
Currently Add function is not available. You can use the Read It Later web browser plugins for adding items to your list. Actually this would be the typical usage scenario: Add from a browser, then sync to your WM device. But I will also try to make adding on the device as usable as possible (shake based Opera integration, etc.)
I will investigate your problem tomorrow as it is the middle of the night here (04:38 AM ), and I need to have some sleep before I go to work
In the meantime, can you provide answers to the following questions in order to make the analysis easier:
- which device are you using?
- which version of the .NET CF are you using (3.5+ is a requirement, I should add this to the first post I guess)
- do you have a storage card installed?
By the way, I tested the app with a HD2 and a HD, and it works without a problem.
this sounds great..
Works very nice at this stage.
finally you made it thanks a lot, will test later
edit:
played a little, only one word: AWESOME. i have only one request that you have not planned, perhaps: a checkbox (or a switch) to mark for download it will be faster then long tapping on the item thanks vizier, you are a master!

It was not very easy to allocate time for this project most of the time, but yes finally we have something to start with. Thank you for your support.
Also I think your suggestion can improve the usability of LateReader, I will add marking for download with a switch to the list of planned items.
This is good stuff.....more people need to see this.

What is .NET CF 3.5+ ??? I never heard of this Plus-Version and I could not find it in the internet. I have installed .NET CF 3.5 (without +) and up to now it seems to work on my Omnia Pro. Great app !!! Looking forward to the next version.

I am glad it worked for you after installing CF 3.5.
It is really nice to see how my unpretencious topic really became an app.
I had some personal problems lately and couldn't give my feedback or thank your, but Thank you!
This is an awesome app that was missing for WM and it really helped me A LOT.
Wow. thanks a lot. have been looking for a Read It later application for windows mobile.
Just curious, is there any way to mark all the "readings" for offline reading, so that they would be downloaded when sync. Or do i have to click on every one of them slowly? Thanks!

Actually in the previous release (I posted on another thread) the default sync behaviour was to download all items. However, this caused problems with people having huge lists with hundreds of items. So I decided to make this an option, and the default behaviour is to download only marked items.
You see, downloading all of the items is an option. But the problem is we will have the "Options" user interface in the next release.
If you want to try this option with the current version, actually it is possible. Just do the following:
1. Close LateReader applcation
2. open \Storage Card\Program Files\LateReader\Data\Latereader.xml file with an editor (PHM Notepad or MADE should do this easily)
3. Scroll to the end of file. There you will see a line like this:
Code:
<IsDownloadAllUnreadPageTextDuringSync>false</IsDownloadAllUnreadPageTextDuringSync>
4. Change false to true, thats all
I hope this helps. If you screw up anything, just delete all the files under Data folder and restart the application.
As I said before, in the next release (which will be in a few days I hope) we will have the settings/options UI.
Thank you for your comments.

Hey man,
it is very nice to hear from you. I was thinking that you did not like the application at all, and that would be the reason why you become silent all of a sudden.
Anyway, I hope you settled your personal problems.
What about the applications performance with your huge list, would you share your experiences please.
If you did not start that thread I would not even know that there is something called Read It Later. Thanks again.
thx a lot, it's working well on my HD2.
Hi Vizier,
first of all thanks a lot for this perfect app.
Everything works fine on my Touch Pro2 (WM 6.1) except the sync of a deleted item from the reading list.
Example: An item has been added to the reading list on the PC. Than it has been read on the PocketPC and moved to the list "Read". After a sync it has been deleted on the PC. Sync again and...: It is still in the list "Read" on the PocketPC. Sync again, no changes. The item is not back on the PC, but still exists on the PocketPC.
How can I delete it from the PocketPC.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Klaus
Scrolling pages
Hi Vizier,
Thanks so much for this app - just what I've been hoping for! One request: is there some way to add navigation one screen page at a time by either touching the screen (as in mobipocket, Vade Mecum) - possibly touch bottom half for page-down and upper half for page-up, or via the volume buttons? Kinetic scrolling is imprecise and not very fluid on my HD.
But the app is great - looking forward to the next release (and the Options button)!
Thanks again!

Yes, for some reason (unknown to me at the moment) kinetic scrolling in the Currently Reading screen does not work at all on the HD. I do not think it is a memory or CPU issue, may be something related to the WM version. Are you using 6.1 or 6.5?
Anyway I am investigating this issue, but no luck so far.
I will add page up/page down style navigation as an option. I will update the first post with this. Thanks.

Description
Quick Links are okay, but you can not have a quicklink for everything. Or are you just conservative and want to have a launching tool on your PPC? WiMoRun enables you to run programs typing in their name or a keyword. You can start all executable applications within the whole device. With the T9 panel you can choose your apps even faster.
It runs on Windows Mobile > 6.0
If you have ideas to improve this app just let me know.
Features
- run programs by typing their names
- tag programs to get an alias i.e. calc will open favourite calculator
- autocomplete list in realtime
- application cache to boost speed
- T9 input panel for faster searching
- skinnable UI
History & Changelog
Code:
v0.7a (VGA only, Non VGA is WIP)
- crash problem after generating cache is resolved.
- added an application icon, thanks to Farmer Ted
v0.7 (VGA only, Non VGA is WIP)

v0.5a
- fixed a bug that caused tags not to work after adding support for every path
v0.5

Installation and use
After installing cab choose Run from the Programs list.
Feedback
Feedback and reporting are desired, new feature requests, too.
I'd say it would be useful, especially if you save a list of recent applications, which is missing in 6.5. Dotfred's task manager has a run tool, and I use it all the time (it saves mru's).
I think with the Auto-Complete feature this app will be a time-saver, specially when you want to run or open something from Windows folder (you have scroll a long list to find what you want).
Thanks for your efforts!
Version 0.2 is online.
Improvements are a finger friendlier control-size and an autocomplete feature.
I like this app idea a lot.
Here are my suggestions:
- As you type, it presents a filtered list (filtering in real time) all the apps that fits the match as you type. Then you can just type the first few letters and select the app. Think of how Windows 7's start menu works. You start typing and it immediately gives you matches and gradually filters the list down as you type.
- A custom T-9 input panel, which can work with the above filtering feature as a more finger friendly alternative. It would work exactly as the dialer's numerical pad does to filter out your contacts by the letters associated with each number.
- Custom keywords for apps. Basically you can associate keywords with apps. So let's say you use Pocket Informant as you calendar app, but you just want to type 'calendar', you can associate it and it will launch it.

Genius idea!!!
Thanks for fast update!
I try it now.
Great application, really useful! Looking forward to updates.
Great Idea, could better
Hi i like the idea,
Autocomplete in this form is nice but imho its not practical enough, i still have to know the exact name of the app.
Have a look at "lauchy"for the pc, when you type it lists all applications that have the letters in them you type, regardless of the position.
So if you type "expl" you would get a list with "explorer" and "file explorer".
Cheers Marco
Thanks for your first feedbacks.
I will try to improve autocomplete and give a list of programs to chose matching the criteria. I also like the idea to tag programs. A T9-like input panel will also be on my list.
Very good idea but not a new one. This is basically a launcher program. Everyone, check out ZLaunchy program, it has t9 keypad and runs programs, contacts, docs, etc. I have assigned it to a hard button.
ZLaunchies Description says it only uses the programs in the start menu. WiMoRun is designed especially for those programs you might not have in a quick link program. running docs, contacts or other stuff may be integrated, too here
This is off topic and I apologize for that.
the pictures in the first post have fingerkeyboard2 with wider keys than the default one. I have been searching and trying to understand how to install a fingerkeyboard skin with wider keys (the default fingerkeyboard2 are smaller than the stock HTC HD2 keys).
Again, I apologies for this off topic remark, but this is the first time I found someone that has an example of what I have been looking for in a long time... and I have searched the forum.

Version 0.4 is out now. I integrated an autocomplete list substituting the one line autocompletion. Buttons are now replaced with softkeys. The program is also able to save tags/keywords now. If you type in the keyword, the linked application is opened.
a T9 panel is not yet implemented, I think that needs a little time.

Yes you're right.
but zlaunchy has a variety of features which your app should have as well(search via t9, search in contacts etc.).
zlaunchy is a great model for for winmorun since it's so lookalike.
As I remembered there was a win mobile smartphone app that had a lot of functions.
looked for files, sms, programs, contacts, it even calculated a formula if you inserted numbers(ex. you inserted 2+2 and it returned 4 on the result list)
I lost that app when I changed to winmo pro since it was shipped only with that phone model.
It was called VOQ from the sierra wireless VOQ phone.
Version 0.5 posted.
Now all executable files are held in this list. It doesn't matter if it's in the Windows or Programs directory.
To avoid long startup times the program generates an application cache. It can be renewed out of the options menu.
have fun
edit:
just fixed a bug and promoted it to 0.5a
Update again
Version 0.6 features the heavily wanted T9 input addon

You are a ROCK STAR at getting these updates out quick. Add some skinning support and you got a finished 1.0 app here!

version 0.7 is out now, but only for VGA. graphics scaling for lowres devices does not work the way I want it to. Maybe I'll find some nicer controlls, too.
custom skinning will be available in one of the next versions
Nice job! Here's an ico group, if you want it. It looks pretty good in the start menu (it's just hacked from shell32.dll).
