Screensavers

[hoffm11]

Are there any screensavers for the Pocket PC that work with Mobile 2003?

There is a good one that I know of that is free and works with WM2003.

I can't quite remember but I think it might be Pocket Candy. I'll check that out.

The only one I know of is part of PHM Power Toys (http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/)

Of course, if you're looking for "screen savers" that put eye candy on the screen after a certain amount of inactivity, I don't know if you'll have much luck.

The best screen saver is one that turns the screen blank. It doesn't use any processing power and doesn't cause burn in (The original purpose of screen savers i.e. "To save the screen")

And since LCDs are almost entirely unaffected by burn-in the way CRTs are, eye candy screen savers are useless as real screen savers.

Now I can see a use for one while your PPC is in the cradle. i.e. displaying upcoming appointments or web clippings. That would be cool.

Yep, it is Pocket Candy.

Here (http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&homePath=HANDANGO&platformId=2&productType=2&catalog=0§ionId=0&productId=14879) it is at Handango.

I recommend installing the extra screensavers by the same developer.

Yes, indeed, Pocket Candy is one of a kind. It offers a lot of add on packs, make sure you find all of them.
