VITO Technology are celebrating their 7th birthday by selling all their Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, S60 and UIQ software for $7 a pop.
They seem to have been producing apps t the rate f about ten a day during their 7-year history, with a huge back catalogue of apps. Some of thes, like VITO Audioplayer, have freeware equivalents, but there are some gems.
Some of their better efforts have passed through PocketPicks before, including Pocket PC GPS utility VITO Find Me, S60 dictaphpne VITO AudioNotes and Windows Mobile SMS threader SMS-CHAT.
If you have $7 burning a hole in your account, the offer runs until Feb 26th.
One of the more hotly-anticipated features in the forthcoming Windows Mobile 6.1 is Threaded SMS. This groups your sent and received SMS messages together so you can see the ‘conversations’ that have taken place. It’s a simple idea, but as anyone who has used a threaded email client (or Google Mail) will tell you, a very useful one.
If you can’t wait until 6.1 arrives, Threaded SMS can be yours now if you splash out $14.95 on SMS-Chat from Vito Technology.
A Windows Mobile 5 & 6 and Pocket PC app, SMS-Chat features the aforementioned message threading plus multiple SMS sending, quick contacts search and one-finger touch scrolling (on compatible handsets, obviously).
It’s not quite as useful as Gmail, mainly due to the limitations of SMS - the lack of subject line makes it difficult to delineate between different conversations with the same person, but it is a definite improvement on basic SMS and should make multiple mobile chats a little easier to follow.
