Resco Explorer 2007 and Resco Photo Viewer 6.20 BETA versions available

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I have a handful of applications that I couldn't live without on the Pocket PC. Two of them are Resco Explorer and Resco Photo Viewer.

Resco Explorer is much more than a file explorer. It's a file explorer, network file explorer, ftp client, registry editor, homescreen plugin and more! It's always the first thing I install on my device, and even better, it's a MoDaCo Plus benefit.

Resco Photo Viewer performs two functions for me. It let's me view and manage all of my photo albums on the move (there's a bunch of pictures I always like to have with me), and it also serves as an extremely versatile replacement for the basic 'Pictures and Videos' application for viewing, editing and sending pictures taken with the device's camera.

I'm pleased to be able to let you know that both of these applications are due a refresh soon, and are available as Beta versions courtesy of Resco.

Resco Explorer 2007 BETA, has a whole bunch of new functions including...

General features:

• Quick-search bar
  
• Status bar
  
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts
  
• File Types Highlighting
  
• Speed measuring for copying/moving/beaming

  Network drive mapping:
  
  • explicit user/password
    
  • optional drive name
    
  • permanent/virtual drive (connected on startup/first use)
    
    Encryption:
    Viewing encrypted files with built-in viewer (decryption in memory)
    
    Bluetooth:
    Remembers recently used Bluetooth devices (Microsoft Bluetooth stack only)
    
    Today plugin:
    
    • running applications

Anyone know how to stop the TodayPlugin going onto two rows? All I have is the apps/documents, but the new task-switcher icon always appears on a 2nd row. Looks dumb. ;)
