Winterface…Now With Weather

When I reviewed Vito Technology’s mobile shell program, Winterface, I had a few complaints.  one of the biggest ones was the lack of a weather module.  Well, I just got an email from our friends at Vito announcing they have finally fixed this problem.  Winterface version 1.14 finally includes the ability to display the weather from within the Winterface shell.  The best part, though, is the free weather application, which ties into Winterface, providing a full forecast.  You can use the weather application as a stand alone program or add the dynamic icon to Winterface for full at-a-glance weather reports.  Hit the jump for the full press release and then head over to the iWindows Mobile site to download your copy today.

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

Review: Winterface

For roughly the past year, there has been a raging debate between iPhone users and Windows Mobile users about which platform is better.  In my opinion, there are pros and cons of both, however, I have been extremely interested in watching the debate rage ever forward.  The most fascinating offshoot to me is the way in which the mere presence of the iPhone has forced Windows Mobile and Windows Mobile developers to make drastic changes and improvements, almost overnight.  I am convinced that without the iPhone, there would be no HTC Touch Pro, and the upcoming release of Windows Mobile 7 would be significantly different.

Similarly, without the iPhone, it is highly unlikely that the growing mobile shell genre would have taken off the way it did.  Programs like Spb Mobile Shell, PointUI, and others, now completely replace the outdated and outmoded Today Screen interface with a finger-friendly interface which completely takes over your device, giving you access to all of your necessary applications and information.  The latest offering in this rapidly rowing genre comes from Vito Technology’s iWindows Mobile line.  Vito has done an amazing job of implementing the lessons of the iPhone with the other products in the iWindows Mobile line.

One of the things I like is that iWindows Mobile does not try to turn your Windows Mobile device into an iPhone.  Instead, it takes the best features of the iPhone and employes them in crafting slim, sleek, easy to use, and finger friendly programs.  Not only does their latest offering, Winterface, fit into this concept, it may just be the best one to come out of the iWindows Mobile studios to date.  Hit the jump for a closer look at how Winterface will revolutionize your Windows Mobile interface.
