MobileWrite For Pocket PC v4.0
Using MobileWrite handwriting recognition software, it is easy to enter text and data, in to your favorite applications, by simply writing on the screen of your handheld, instead of using the keyboard. MobileWrite, by Inkmark Software LLC , gives you an option to use standard letters, Graffiti 1 or Graffiti 2 letters. Using the standard letters, capitals and lowercase letters can be written as you normally would on paper. With the ability to write words on the same screen as your application, letter writing or data entry can be done with less effort. You will be able to concentrate on your work, instead of the data entry. Supports French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese.
Features:
Letters, numbers and other symbols can be written on the screen of the handheld.
In addition to the standard characters, TAB, SPACE, BACK SPACE, RETURN and delete selected text is also available for editing longer text messages.
Write one character at a time or an entire word across the screen.
Shows alternate letters for quick corrections.
MobileWrite does not need to be trained to recognize characters.
No shifting is required for lowercase, and uppercase letters, or other symbols.
Integrates seamlessly with other applications requiring text entry.
It certainly sounds like character recognition software has come a LONG way since I first heard of it years back!! The feature that sounds the best, to me anyway, is "MobileWrite does not need to be trained to recognize characters", as my writing absolutely isn't the best in the world!!
Get it here for $24.95!!
MobileController Standard Edition v1.5
What is the MobileController?
MobileController, by PocketDevelop , is a new product which integrates computer and mobile phone together. And it will make your phone much more powerful! Mobilecontroller is your best assistant anytime you need it, such as remote controlling, text chatting , photo transferring, virtual camera and business presentation.
Features:
Real-time Control and Display
Both mobile and computer screen have been synchronized and therefore they are one in the same
Using a mouse or keyboard to operate on computer screen is just like using a stylus pen or keyboard working on the phone.
Use of the computer keyboard to operate the computer screen is similar to doing the action on the phone
Virtual Webcam
Through this function, you can share the phone¡¯s screen to friends throughout the world.
Cell phone's camera can be used as a webcam, enabling chatting, online teaching and so on
SMS Service
Send and receive text messages from a computer directly. It is much simpler and quicker than using the keyboard on a mobile phone.

Default folder is My Documents for the system lower than Windows Mobile 5.0 and My Pictures for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0.
Tips: You can make the transfer by dragging the picture into the MobileController screen directly.
CAB Installation
CAB installation in a mobile phone is complicated, usually you need to download the cab from the computer through ActiveSync or copy it to a storage card, then use explore to open CAB and install applications.
By using MobileController .You only select the CAB you want to install, then MobileController takes care of the rest.
Tip: Simply drag a CAB into the MobileController screen for installation.
