Date Released:

Changes in version 2.01

To redisplay it, tap the corresponding notification icon.
- added option to turn on/off the individual preview of SMS, MMS & Email.
Please note that since I have no where to test the MMS (my device treats it as SMS), so it may not work.

- added option to custom the applications opened by "slide to view" by editing the registry:

0 - missed call; 1 - voice mail; 2 - SMS; 3 - MMS; 4 - email;
5 - Flexmail; 6 - WL Messenger; 7 - reminder; 8 - active task.
e.g. when there is a missed call, open iContact's call history instead of the system call history,
edit 0File to \Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe;
and 0Parameters to -recents (the path may be different on different language device & where it's installed).

ShortCAD 2009.04.26.1

Description:

ShortCAD is a free software for Pocket PC that reveals the simplicity of well known CAD products just onto the palm of your hand! ShortCAD brings basic concepts of drawing creation to your Windows Mobile system.

With ShortCAD you can create and edit 2D vector-graphic drawings and templates just as you do in well known CAD applications. ShortCAD drawings are usually saved as .ShortDWG files, but you can also save them in .dxf format so you can export your drawings to other vector-graphic editors.

While your Pocket PC is small and slow, all of the "huge CAD" features of ShortCAD have been reworked to make them accessible and usable without mouse and keyboard.

You may ask why is ShortCAD. Here is an answer! ShortCAD is a pun on shortcut that means shorter route or smaller effort. Also it has a specific meaning: a file that contains only the location of another file in the computer. Gathering all meanings together will give you the answer: ShortCAD is a way to CAD and save hints and tips to your ideas with smallest effort while you are away from your workspace.

Features

Using ShortCAD you can create and edit 2D vector-graphic drawings just as you do it in well known CAD applications on your PC. ShortCAD saves your drawings as .ShortDWG files, but you can also save them in .dxf format so that you can export them to other vector-graphic editors.

ShortCAD is capable to render very complex drawings created with desktop CAD systems.

Supported platforms

You can use ShortCAD if Your device runs under one of the following Operating Systems:

* Microsoft Pocket PC 4.20 or higher
* Windows Mobile 5.x
* Windows Mobile 6.x and higher

ShortCAD does not depend on screen resolution since it does not operate with hardware directly, so only few little OEM factors may explain greater or less efficiency of it. In particular, the following screen resolutions are successfully tried to be explored by ShortCAD

* QVGA (240x320),
* 320x320,
* 240x240
* VGA (640x480),
* 480x480
* WVGA (800x600)
