It's now in its final stages. If you have a Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone and you would like to test it, please drop me an e-mail at monocube [at] monocube.com. Selected beta-testers will receive a free copy."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Kris-jan2007-safemode_logo.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />This is the application I have been waiting for. This is the application/feature I wish Microsoft had included in the Windows Mobile core feature set. Our readers would remember that I had <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12842">talked about</a> the need for a "Safe Mode" bootup option similar to the <i>F8 - Safe Mode</i> option on the desktop Windows. Now <a href="http://monocube.com">monocube</a> has come to our rescue; soon we would not have to worry about doing a hard reset because of a faulty startup application or home screen. Not much details are available at this time and I haven't signed up for the BETA but will be doing it soon. :) I will post more information as it becomes available.

This is good news. I agree that this is something that should have been built-in from day one. I can't wait to try it out. :D
