Default VITO Updates ButtonMapper, Integrates Task Switcher and Pop-Up Clock

http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/pr...ttonmapper.html

"VITO Technology announces a major update of its best-seller VITO ButtonMapper. Now it can offer you some new additional functions: task switching and time checking. All this has become available as VITO TaskSwitcher and PopupClock have been integrated into ButtonMapper. Now you can assign hardware buttons to run TaskSwitcher and PopupClock from within VITO ButtonMapper."



For the ButtonMapper fans amongst you, this looks to be a pretty useful update. And, for those of you are interested in downloading a trial or purchasing a copy, you can get it from Handango. [Affiliate]

It seems like it might be cool, but I tried to install the .cab file but it says it is already expired. I guess I'll have to try from the computer later.

the buttonmapper is cool, my only complaint is i can'y cycle through day view/week view/month view in the calendar any more. Also the time for click-and-hold is a little bit long, 750ms should be enough.

The task switcher is just a piece of crap, 247kB for so simple function (without any configuration, not even exception list), I don't know what they are doing.

The popup clock is also awful. For 280kB(W/O Skin), you get a ugly unclear watch in the full screen. Even freeware can be better. The keyguardTime+ in Palm OS is 100 times better than this crap, even it is also free.

My suggestion for Vito is: removing the task switch and popup clock, and you will have a wonderful product.

You can actually do this on your own. Both the task switch and the popup clock are standalone applications. Just delete them from the program directory and presto, you have a wonderful product.

I presonally like them, because both can be activated from a keystroke and controled without the stylus. The size doesn't matter to me, because they do not take any memory when they are not running.
