Screen lock and application launcher utility for Pocket PC (phones)
* Lock your screen and put it in your pocket without triggering unwanted actions
* Launch commonly used programs with the touch of your finger
* Start programs such as Pocket Outlook, Internet Explorer, MSN Messenger, Pocket Excel and Pocket Word and Skype.
* Runs on Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Mobile 5 in QVGA portrait mode only.
* iLaunch will automatically detect if Skype and Google Maps are on your device, and prompt you to download it, if you don’t have it installed.
* There are also buttons for the camera…and of course to make calls.
Conclusion: not only Windows Mobile is more powerful than Apple iPhone in all areas (including ability to run 3rd party programs – impossible in iPhone) but also with simple programs it is possible to emulate iPhone functionality easily inside of Windows Mobile phones.
