ThrottleLock is a pattern based lock application, fully skinable and with multilanguage support.
Fixes:
– Battery metter
– Now runs on background. The app will keep running on background after the first start up so the locking is almost automatic. You can place a shortcut on WindowsStartup so that your device locks even when startup (more secure). To allow freeing memory the app will respond to Hibernate message performing a full close, this will happend only if the device is not locked when resources are requested.
– Some bugs solved like two instances startup or graphical issues when voice mail or MMS where present (i forget to attach the png’s for this last two cases X-D).
– Included German and Swedish translations. (thanks to aldur and T-dome).

PocketCAS is a free interface to the open-source Computer Algebra System giac/xcas.
xcas enables you to quickly solve complex algebraic problems, e.g. symbolic and numeric integration and derivation of non-trivial functions, solving differential equations etc. It has also a huge support for problems of linear algebra, like solving linear equation systems, multiplying and inverting matrices, finding eigenvalues (and eigenvectors, of course) and much more. If you do statistics or number theory, you will like xcas’ great functionality in those areas, too!
Changes:
Added images for the following functions: x^(-1), x^y, e^x, sum, product
Improved images for the following functions: sqrt, integral, pi
Some internal optimizations regarding the XML keyboard. Please tell me whether you notice changes in performance and memory consumption (good or bad)
Greek keys and keys for single-letter variables for easier variable input (located in the “helper” section)
Added more mathematical symbols to the keyboard rather than mere text. This benefits WM 2003 users especially, as they now get some icons rather than mere text buttons.
Improved options for keyboard font sizes (different font sizes for individual sections and buttons)
text size of many keyboard buttons has been improved for even better usability

Slide2Unlock2 (S2U2) is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don’t use your device. And it’s has a CallerID function.

(But one user reported that the appointments will be displayed as if they are one day later. As I cannot reproduce the error, no solution yet.)
– fixed the issue that S2U2 will not be on focus when device wakes up.
– some minor bugs fixed.
