Be More Productive:
SAVE 35% typing time, SAVE 60% keystrokes

AdapTex predictive software accelerates text entry to a new level by suggesting contextually relevant words and phrases, and allowing entry with a single touch. It gives superior predictive accuracy because it learns your vocabulary and adjusts to the context of your applications.  AdapTex reduces keystrokes by 60% and typing time by 35% from first use, and as it learns, these figures improve.

It's very easy to use too.  Just start typing with AdapTex, and click on the words and phrases you want to insert.  It is also available in different European languages, allowing you to use its predictive capabilities in the language of your choice.

“After using AdapTex for 3 weeks I realised it was alive, unlike your usual predictive software it adapts rather than predicts, which in my opinion is what it should be all about when it comes to the future of usability, it accurately adapts to your unique style of writing learning from you and visa versa, and this is just the beginning […] Truly inspired.” An AdapTex Customer.

Review: My Five Favorite Windows Mobile Utilities

In a review in the Feb/Mar 2007 issue of Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine author says in part;

"Over the past several years of writing software reviews for various Web sites and publications, I've discovered a handful of "must-have" utility applications. These applications have a wide range of uses, but the bottom line is that they either enhance the features of your device, make it easier to use, or make it safer. In some cases, they do all three! While these 5 programs are in no way exhaustive of the countless number of utilities available, they are the ones that I personally use and would recommend to any Windows Mobile user."

Tip #348:  View Hidden Files

When you browse a folder on your Windows Mobile device, it does not show hidden files; however, you can use the following method to view them. Go to the folder in which you want to view the hidden files using the File Explorer application (File Manager on some Smartphones). Move the scroll bar down till you reach the last file in the list that is being displayed on the screen. Tap and hold on the empty space between the last file name and the bottom taskbar of the Today screen. (Smartphones: Select Menu >Options.) A new menu will appear on the screen. Go to the Show All Files option (pre-WM5 Pocket PCs: View All Files). (Smartphones: Deselect Hide Hidden Files.) You will now be able to see all the hidden files on your device. This setting will be retained by your device until you change it.
