Highly customizable Shell to improve standard WM interface
July 7, 2008 - VITO Technology releases Winterface - a major breakthrough in the world of Windows Mobile interface. Winterface is the Next Generation Shell for Windows Mobile comprising the options of a launcher, a task manager, and a multitude of Today plug-ins. Winterface gives the user unprecedented freedom to easily lay out interface exactly the way they like it.
As a shell Winterface removes the necessity to turn to default Windows Mobile interface: Today screen and Start menu. Winterface opens instantly whenever users draw a simple gesture on the screen. It allows users to have as many screens as they need and put on them icons for applications, settings and contacts.
The screens are flipped through with sliding finger gestures. The icons for such applications as phone, sms, email, battery, clock, calendar, memory, etc. - all show relevant information and thus replace a number of Today plug-ins.
As a launcher Winterface features one tap launch of any installed applications and settings. A tap on a contact icon opens a menu with contact details from where you can call, send text message, email, browse URL, etc.
As a task manager Winterface lets you easily switch between running applications. A fixed icon on the first screen lets users see running programs, switch between them or close them.
It is very convenient to organize icons on screens by a certain topic. Users can set up a screen with favorite contacts, a screen with most used applications, a screen with icons-indicators (battery, memory, calendar, clock, etc.), and so on, as far as their fantasy goes! Icons are easily moved on the screen and between screens by drag’n’drop gestures.
Winterface is available for $19.95 at http://www.iWindowsMobile.com/vito-mobile-shell.html. There is also a free 14-day fully functional trial available as a cab or exe installer.
VITO Technology Inc. is known for its innovative products in the field of Windows Mobile and Symbian software, GPS navigation and custom projects. Introduced in this press-release Winterface is a next generation mobile shell for Windows Mobile touch screen devices.

I am testing this out. Very nice. I like the running program shutdown feature, the slide lock and the easy icon control.

Posted by: slavito Jul 8 2008, 12:27 PM

Great application! I really like the design, and the ability to rearrange all the icons. I would love a weather forecast though, HTC Diamond style
A few other suggestions could be showing a slim bar at the top of the screen with network, battery, wlan and 3g status.
Maybe also make it possible to link directly to files (videos, documents and so on)
Also, try and cover all the phone needs in the program so you dont ever have to see the ugly windows mobile menus. They remind me to much about windows 98..
I have tried PointUI and Winterface so far, and i definatley prefer winterface, since it looks better, and generally feels better to use.
Keep up the good work!

I tried out Winterface and have been using it for a couple of days now. I would give it a thumbs up and it was just want I was looking for. It easy and simple to use and work with. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something to spie up there PPC.
The things I would change would be adding color to the Winterface set program Icons.
I agree with Requiem about the a slim bar at the top of the screen with network, battery, wlan and 3g status.
