Winterface Gets An Update!

Winterface from Vito is a fairly new addition to the Windows Mobile scene but as always Vito don’t sit around twiddling their thumbs. Winterface has been updated in response to user input [that’s got to be a plus], and the new version includes

VITO Technology releases a new version of one of its best-sellers – Winterface. Winterface is a Windows Mobile shell that helps you to organize applications and settings at your PocketPC the way you like. The start gesture “rainbow” was replaced in new version by upside down tick ^. Moreover, it has become possible to add to the main screen not only applications, settings and contacts but also any files on your Pocket PC. Besides, calendar and tasks now can notify you about upcoming events, appointments and tasks. Minor bugs have been also fixed.

To tell you I hadn’t tried it out till I got the update press release today, is a wee bit embarrassing, cause I was really impressed when I installed it. Simply this is a great app. Obviously being a point update, if you’ve already purchased Winterface, just download the updated version and install.

Available from iWindowsmobile for $19.95

Vito Technologies Announces Winterface

No, Vito has not figured out a way to control the weather and freeze the world in an eternal winter snowstorm.  Winterface is actually their latest Windows Mobile offering, and it looks fantastic.  Winterface, as our astute colleague, Ragart, noted, actually stands for Windows Interface…Winterface.  But that still does not answer my question, which was what the heck is this thing.  I mean, is my device going to start hurling snowballs if I load it?  The answer…probably not.

Winterface is actually a “highly customizable” shell, interface, launcher, and task manager, which is designed to improve your Windows Mobile interface.  According to the press release:

As a shell Winterface removes the necessity to turn to default Windows Mobile interface: Today screen and Start menu. Winterface opens instantly whenever users draw a simple gesture on the screen.  It allows users to have as many screens as they need and put on them icons for applications, settings and contacts. The screens are flipped through with sliding finger gestures. The icons for such applications as phone, sms, email, battery, clock, calendar, memory, etc. - all show relevant information and thus replace a number of Today plug-ins.

As a launcher Winterface features one tap launch of any installed applications and settings. A tap on a contact icon opens a menu with contact details from where you can call, send text message, email, browse URL, etc.

As a task manager Winterface lets you easily switch between running applications. A fixed icon on the first screen lets users see running programs, switch between them or close them.

It is very convenient to organize icons on screens by a certain topic. Users can set up a screen with favorite contacts, a screen with most used applications, a screen with icons-indicators (battery, memory, calendar, clock, etc.), and so on, as far as their fantasy goes! Icons are easily moved on the screen and between screens by drag’n'drop gestures.

Check out the latest Windows Mobile Interface at the Winterface website.  Or purchase it for just $19.95.  Watch for my review coming soon.
