Dynamo
Dynamo is a cool, animated task manager for your PocketPC 2003 device. Say goodbye to boring text lists of running programs and instead manage your programs by sliding in images of all your running applications onto your screen. For each program on your device an image is saved and when you click the hotkey they all zoom onto your screen. Simply click the one you want and it'll increase to fill the screen.



Dynamo also allows you to quit programs from this image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do. You can also customise Dynamo for your own device by changing its animation speed and background color.

Dynamo is free and to register the free version please use the key 'PPDTXVDAAYUBWED'.

This looks great at first glance.
One question, it says you can close an app. from the screen, how do you do that?

I ran the setup program (vs just the cab file) and found a page of instructions!
It says:
Closing a program
When viewing the running program screen in Dynamo you can close a running application by holding down the Dynamo hot key and simultaneously clicking the program you wish to close. The program's image will be removed from the screen and the other windows will slide around to fit the screen better. Please note that the Desktop (Today screen) and the ActiveSync program are integral parts of the Pocket PC operating system and as such are the only two programs which can not be closed.

Great and thanks !

i use it occasionally now, it's a nice little application, although a tad bit slow on the x50v.

It doesn't behave well in landscape mode and I can't map hardware keys to the right of my Mail button (X30), either. It's a cool program, though.

I've been playing with it quite a bit on my X5, and I like this a lot! I was initially disappointed when it told me I needed some library installed, but after looking at the FAQ and finding out that the message could be safely ignored, I am impressed with the product. It does exactly what it says it can do, and being a very visual person, I find that I much prefer switching between apps this way.

Yeah, so? Don't you have enough space? There are more apps which need .NET

Out of curiosity, do you know if the hardware key mapping is impacted by/different between 2K3 first and second edition? I've never had an app behave this way.

When you click on the link, it brings you to a generic .net page. I d/l what I thought was the right version, and dynamo still doesn't recognize, anyone else have this issue?
