Gnextop is the portal that lets you edit documents, browse the web and talk to friends, all at the same time! It is currently at Beta 3 (Version 0.3), and it is on schedule to be released in the second/third quarter of this year.

You can browse the internet inside Gnextop using the web browser.

A game by James Garner. The goal is to find Wally in a busy picture full of people.

Classic “Where’s Waldo/Wally?” 5 level game for DS made using PAlib. Not much I know, but still quite fun for the first time. Just touch Wally’s head when you find him.

Dynamo 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 Dynamo can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.

Dynamo 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, Dynamo offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.

Changes:

# process management re-written once again. now satisfied completely.
+ snapshots areas are taken correctly for full-screen windows (top row excluded in any case)
+ banned processes and banned windows can be specified (see config file)
+ snapshooting divided into 2 features: windows catcher (catches new windows) and snapshots updater (updates snapsots for registered windows). for both, time intervals can be configured (see the config file).
