Rain, before I try this, I'd like to know how much storage space is used and what the memory footprint is while it's running (which would be "always" for this type of program). Also, can it be run from the storage card or is it recommended to only be installed in main memory?
Thanks,
SP.

@javaoverride2003 Thanks for your feedback. We will try to add some more features in the future updates.
@ChaoticDruid If you have some constructive Pro/Cons please post them at this thread or here:

@stpete111
Thanks for your interest.
The storage memory used is 0.700 Mb. As for the memory footprint / CPU load please read Menneisyys' review. Related to installing to SD card is not supported yet - so main memory is advised for the moment.
Also if you have any Pro/Cons (especially) please feel free to expose them .
Best regards,

Mavens is proud to announce its first software designed for the Pocket PC platform and is called "ThumbMagic".
The product is revolutionary in its concept and design enabling the end user to use his/her Pocket PC in a totally different way which was never possible! Imagine using your Pocket PC with just "ONE HAND"....Yes! No need for a stylus for most of your daily usage!
Here are some of the main feature highlights -
* Complete One Handed Operation
* Add appointments, tasks, contacts intuitively using Mavens' innovative linear data gatherer system
* Send SMS, Emails (POP3 & Activesync) through a single unified messaging system in 3 simple steps!
* Two built in quick access plugins - a full feature calculator & a device statistics plugin
* Open architecture to support multiple plugins ranging from Weather info, games, mp3 players etc.
* Track important information on your home screen with the Appointment/Task "Radar"
* Radically designed interfaces making it the "quickest" way to navigate
* Completely built-in input mechanisms such as full screen keyboards, time & alarm property pages
* Easy readability makes it ready to use while on the run!
* The very "First" 100% skinned interface! That means every pixel that you see is skinnable!
* Low memory consumption and instantaneous startup and navigation
* Graphically rich environments with excellent special effects, all at lightning speeds!
ThumbMagic is designed for complete one-handed operation of the Pocket PC device. You can create appointments, tasks, contacts in an extremely intuitive manner without using your stylus! Completely redesigned interfaces for text entry such as a built in qwerty/ abcd keyboards, sequential data input for making the process much simpler makes it a perfect companion on the go! You can also send Emails (multiple POP3 accounts/ Outlook), SMS messages, MMS messages all through a SINGLE unified 3 step messaging system.
Not to forget, all of this can be done without the need of a stylus! Besides, a powerful plugin system which currently comes with two default plugins (a scientific calculator & a device statistics plugin) which takes the potential of expansion to the next level.
Requirements
WM2003, WM2003SE, WM5.0. Requires 2.0 MB of system RAM

Looks nice. I'm going to try!

any youtube movie to show how it works?

Old one..Have used it long back!

And what's your review about how it performs?

[Oct 22][Dev] PPClock - A Fullscreen Clock for your PocketPC

Inspiration:http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2008/10/19/diy_iphoneturnedalarmclock_stand-2.html
REQUEST
I've been working on this using Basic4PPC, and it's coming along quickly and nicely. But, I'm using the unregistered version!
I initially wanted to charge a tiny fee for the app, but I have a better idea. If I could get donations to get a proper license for Basic4PPC, then I'll release it and any subsequent versions and updates as freeware instead. Hell, I'll open source the buggers.
In addition to this, it means I finally have a development platform I can use to make the apps that I've always wanted to. I have the skills, just need the tools: so you can get more apps in the future!

Alrighty: So, I gave up on looking for stuff, downloaded Basic4PPC, scraped up some of my old VB knowledge and got cracking. I'm now working on the application myself.
Basically, the feature list for this application would be:
Features
Fullscreen landscape mode
Configurable colours
Configurable fonts
Wishlist
Windows Alarm integration
Dim backlight to 20% while running
Button to enable Aeroplane Mode
The Features List is the must-haves, and the wishlist is the would-be-awesome-to-have.
The iPhone version charges $0.99 for the application. I'd gladly pay $5 for one for our PPC.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's pretty much the feature list that I'm aiming for. Nice and simple. Working with text is a ***** though, Labels suck. Will be moving to something slightly more exotic I think instead.
What's Currently Working:
It displays time.
Simple colour customisation.
Simple gesture support.
What Needs To Be Done:
Change rendering engine: move to proper rendering so as to do rich text formatting.
Integrate some form of alarm functionality.
Adjust backlight
Some functions may be hard to do because of B4PPC, but we will see.
Post your requests here!

you can do whatever you want with tools like RLtoday, XIAMultitheme, SPBmobileshell, etc...

I know all about skinning today plugins and shells... this is slightly different
What I want to see is just an application that is plain fullscreen that displays the clock, and possibly will allow you to set alarms in it. Nothing fancy.
There doesn't seem to be anything like that for WinMo currently?

Kind of funny to tell someone what they can do with rlToday when they have an rlToday theme in their signature.
I would love to see something like this for the Tilt. Make a great travel clock.

Maybe this : http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en

Simple Clock 0.1
here is a program i just made in .NET
Its called Simple Clock
Instructions :
Just extract it and run the exe on your ppc
Requirments :
Windows Mobile 5/6 & 6.1 (tested on WM 6.1, HTC Wizard)
.NET CF 2.0
Download:
see attached

this is really cool... hope someone develops it.

Same here hope someone develops this app very useful

Nice work ather! One step closer
Basically, the feature list for this application would be:
Features
Fullscreen landscape mode
Configurable colours
Configurable fonts
Wishlist
Windows Alarm integration
Dim backlight to 20% while running
Button to enable Aeroplane Mode
The Features List is the must-haves, and the wishlist is the would-be-awesome-to-have.

See first post.

any screenshots?

If you *really* want to see how nasty it currently looks using Labels... sure, I'll post some up in a tick

ur Welcome, i'll try to do the wish list

If you could, I'd be ever greatful! I'm loving writing this app myself actually, although mine will be less featured than yours
Currently implementing gestures to launch configuration panels
I'll upload a screenshot in about 5 minutes.

Apologies for the double post: Screenshot is up.

Gestures are done for now. Down to Up opens the config menu, Up to Down closes the application.
I'm thinking left to right to go to another timezone perhaps?

Nice idea. This app should run always, so i think you should add your app to the S2U2 exclusion list (or however S2U2 works to prevent starting itself).
Are you going to add an option that the display is always on? Besides that it would be nice to adjust the backlight through the options so the battery drain can be controlled.

hmmm Gestures, nice idea..have u figured out the Colour and font changing ?

Changes :
added function to display Operator Name
Changed Background to Black and Clock to Red
Added Down Gesture for Exiting
Now full screen
Working on :
Dimming backlight
customization
Ps. if you want, i can make it to use a picture as a Background too

Not yet, but I have an idea.
Basic4PPC is a bit ick though, which is annoying me. It limits me.
What I'm thinking of doing is loading sprites in for the numbers, allowing people to create their own just using images.
Colours can possibly be done with some trickery using alpha channels.
Display always on? Piece of cake!
I'm just working on the config screen now, got all my variables set up for it so I can change it when I switch rendering modes.
I *still* have the issue that I don't have a license to use!

[infos][Updated] Android 4.2 Key Lime Pie :More official specifications

Jelly Bean Android version 4.1 and announced a few months ago by Google, has already his successor. It would be called, according to the latest rumors, Key Lime Pie or tart limes in French and is labeled with the number 4.2.
It is the site Android and Me brings us the latest news, with an internal source who has provided accurate information in the past.
According to them, this new version bring a personalization center, Project Roadrunner, or updating applications Google Play Now Google and video player.
The personalization center:
According to the source, a personalization center will be available to change ringtones, language packs, wallpapers, launcher, and a few other customizable filters. Certain assumptions are talking about custom themes introduced by the manufacturers, but that would be only a supplement and not pre-installed interface directly fused to the system time. This center is primarily a convenient way to allow the average consumer to make some basic customizations. The range of options can obviously be extended via Google Play.
This new system will allow manufacturers to provide their own interfaces manufacturers through this new center. When updates to Android if the manufacturer fails to provide a version compatible with the theme, simply return the terminal to the classic user interface.
So it sounds like a dream come true. Google may have finally found a solution that will allow consumers to update the Android operating system base, without having to wait for the new version of the interface builder.
The Roadrunner Project:
Somewhat in the same spirit as the Butter Project on Android 4.1, which allows an increase in the number of FPS (note: the number of frames per second), the Roadrunner Project will improve battery life by optimizing and reduced power consumption, allowing improved overall autonomy.
Update Google Play Now Google and video player:
Play Google: it is enhanced with new features such as personalized search - Optional integration with promotions - Improved notifications and improved in-app purchase;
Now Google: Google voice assistant now offer a user guide that will, for example, ask such questions as: "How do I enable Bluetooth? "Or" How can I reduce the brightness? "Facilitating these operations for novice users;
The native video player: it would benefit from an update regarding APIs and codecs will probably accounting expanded video formats, allowing the development of a new application dedicated to this medium.
It should be borne in mind that all this must be considered as a rumor, even if that source is reliable. Ilandroid-4-2-visits seems that Google has also begun to distribute devices to its employees since some sites are beginning to see the emergence of Android 4.2 in their statistics.
The concept of a certification program for Google Nexus is not excluded given the number of phones provided by Google this year. This will allow the web giant to take a little more control over certain issues and improve the Android experience.

Oh, for the love of God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, the website that posted this has retracted its statement and said that the source was not reliable.
Also, the OP should be stung by a wasp. A big one! (>_>)

This is the second KLP thread you have started, and the last one was locked!
This one will be soon....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

8 locked threads to your name.....and still you don't learn!
Let's try and make it 9
©®™

What part of search before you post is not clear? You created a thread just like this one that was closed already so you create a new one? There is already a 4.2 thread. Use that one instead of creating a new one.
Thread closed.
also I must mention a lot of these rumors were reported as being false today
