Task Facade, previously known as Dynamo 3, is a cool, animated task manager for your PocketPC 2003/05/06 device. Say goodbye to boring text lists of running programs and instead manage your programs by sliding in images of all your running applications onto your screen. For each program on your device an image is saved and when you click the hotkey they all zoom onto your screen. Simply click the one you want and it will increase to fill the screen. Quickly seeing all the running programs is far more efficient than having to read through a text-based task list so Task Facade can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.
Task Facade also allows you to quit programs from inside the image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do.
As well as just looking generally cooler, Task Facade offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.
Changes:
# Task switch monitoring changed. The program uses less resources.
# Process info dialog changed.
+ Ability to ban a process or a window from the process info dialog.
+ Running time information in the process info dialog
***BEFORE INSTALL***: Before installing version 3.8, uninstall the previous version AND MANUALLY REMOVE THE ‘TASK FACADE’ FOLDER from Program Files’. You do not need its old content.

Radio consumes not unsignificant battery power, especially when you’re travelling. Sometimes you dont have to be available for calls…
LongRunner turns off the radio part and keep that for defined time interval. Then it automatically sync all POP/IMAP accounts, the On interval should be long enough to even receive SMS.

MyWeatherForecast is an upcomming new weather forecast application. Goal is to make it as finger friendly as possible, and support multiple resolutions (currently running in VGA) while keeping it simple feature-wise.
This version is basically just a test, which does NOT allow you to set a city of choice yet.
