VITO Technology recently updated their iWindowsMobile Communication Suite to version 1.8.  One of the main features of the Suite is an updated version of Winterface, an iPhone-esque launcher for Windows Mobile Professional devices.  You can now choose between the old black theme or a new brighter theme that also has larger icons.  Another nice feature of this Winterface update is the ability to switch into windowed mode so that you can still see the standard Windows Mobile notifications, start menu, time, and other important notifications that Windows Mobile sticks up there.  Winterface is one of the great UI options out there that compares to TouchFLO and SPB Mobile Shell in usability for common and power users.

See what else is updated in Communication Suite after the break…

In addition to Winterface, VITO also includes the latest versions of the following:

• Weather – A weather app that will automatically update your weather and matches the Winterface theme.
• FunContact – A finger-friendly contact app.
• ZoomBoard – A finger-friendly keyboard that can replace the standard Windows Mobile SIP keyboards to be more touch friendly.
• SMS-Chat – A finger-friendly (see a trend here?) threaded SMS application that is even better than the default threaded SMS view on Windows Mobile 6.1.

It is good to see developers like VITO Technology pushing the limits of Windows Mobile these days.  These touch-friendly applications are great on devices like the HTC Touch HD and Touch Pro.  If you are a Windows Mobile user that wants to find even more reasons to keep the stylus in the silo, VITO is there for you.

Below is the full press release we received from VITO:
