In July, I showed you a pretty neat application that my good friend Helio from Pocket PC Freak made us aware of.  Contact manager is a finger friendly contact application for your PDA phone, it will allow you to scroll to you list of contacts, call them and edit them.  It is a pretty slick program and now we have another to share with you that is definitely worth looking at.

PocketCM Keyboard is a SIP for Windows Mobile (a virtual keyboard) that allows quick text input with smart and automatic correction.  You just have to download the cab file here, copy it to your device and open the file.  The install is quick, easy, and you will be amazed at how nice it is to use.  And guess what?  It’s FREE! 

So why use it?

First of all, it offers a visible feedback of the key currently pressed, you can imagine that your finger is on the keyboard… and now you can easily see what key is pressed. < ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Second important thing: you can move your finger, the key will change, release it, the key will be triggered (so it’s the opposite of a physical keyboard: the actual action is when you release the key, not when you push it). 

The third reason that it works is smart suggestion based on key position.

Another great feature is easy control over the dictionary. With this SIP, you know when you add a word to the dictionary.

Some other features are:

Build-in copy/cut/paste (press enter key for 250ms)

Automatic back space repeat

Double tap on shift key to lock

Customizable symbol pad (available on any key trough settings)

Customizable image on every key (through settings)

More keys available for layout: tab, esc, home, end, etc…

Feedback window is always centered
