The Touch interface apps are growing at fast pace. Windows Mobile users now have choices of application or plug-ins that not only provide visual enhancements but also functionality.
UltimateLaunch is a perfect example of a powerful today-screen plug-in. It offers unlimited number of tabs to help better manage your icons. Switching between tabs can be performed with your fingers, by sliding in the desired direction. The switching process will be animated. Almost everything can be individually adjusted.
Features:
- unlimited number of tabs on the today-screen
- smooth animations of tab-switches (cube, slide, blend, turn, stripes)
- integrate other today-plugins
- nice 32Bit icons in any size, to launch applications
- (alternative normal program-icons)
- completely operatable with fingers
- application launch, by tipping on the symbols
- switch tab, by sliding left/right with the finger
- start additional programs, by sliding up/down
- display of system state (battery, time)
- many settings, for the own liking
- very friendly in the usage of memory!
You can try this application, as long as you like. No restriction in the range of functions. After a while, there will be a short text in the background, when UltimateLaunch is not yet activated.
You can get red of the small nagging message by purchasing UltimateLaunch ($14.95) HERE! Watch the video demo after the jump!

I am thinking between the Nokia N810, Asus EePC 7” or Asus Eepc 900 (BTW, JKKMobile has a great video review on his site).
Both the Nokia N810 and the small EeePC cost about $400 but the 9″ EeePC is still run around $600.

Java has many APIs (application programming interfaces) that let developers access phone functions like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and secure payments, while Flash lacks some of those hooks, he said. Flash, however, offers some nice user-interface capabilities compared to Java. Using both, developers can build a game, for example, that uses Flash for the menu and Java for other features. “They can mix and match,” said Wretling. “A Java application can utilize graphics and UI components both from Java and from Flash.” |
Lately, developers are exposed to many competing mobile software platforms such Google Android, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Mobile. There is definitely competition about getting developers’ mind share. [Via Yahoo! News]
