Sunscape is a screen saver and locker for PocketPC mobile devices. It is similar to the iPhone slide to unlock feature, but targets the Windows Mobile system. It provides an interface that displays configurable information about the handheld device. The graphics used are completely replaceable, allowing users to build their preferred custom interface. The main goals are to keep Sunscape completely configurable to the user as well as maintaining a very low memory footprint.

Release notes:

This release fixes some bugs from the previous version and adds stability and new features. More work has been done on the phone handling routine so that it should now correctly get the caller contact. A volume gauge and a signal gauge has been added as well as single color transparency for gadgets. Sunscape now relies on a library in order to remove repeating code. A real-time wallpaper transition effect has been added as well as localization settings for all text on screen. Speed was boosted and many other bugfixes and enhancements have been applied.

MeBoy is a Gameboy emulator for mobile phones (which means you can use it to play Gameboy games on a mobile phone). It works on phones with support for Java Micro Edition, specifically MIDP 2.0. Your phone manufacturer’s web site can tell you if this includes your phone.

MeBoy supports both Gameboy and Gameboy Color games, and with version 2.0 you can even play your games with sound!

With MeBoy you can also save your progress at any time, whether the game itself supports saving or not. Any number of saved games can be stored concurrenly (only limited by your phone’s available storage space). Since version 2.0, you can share your saved games with your friends via Bluetooth.

Release notes:

6 Dec 2008: MeBoy 2.1 released! 2.1 fixes several bugs in 2.0, including missing sprites and a bug that prevented the real-time clock to update. The “experimental” sound mode should now also sound much better. MeBoy also sports its own icon on the theme “What if the Gameboy Color had a numeric keypad?”, but you can choose a different icon if you want in MeBoyBuilder. Finally, Greek and Russian translations are included – thanks Klimis Ioannidis and murrenna!

Thanks to Bjoern Carlin, the author of MeBoy himself, for the news hint via email.
