Soti's Pocket Controller Pro

Work on your iPAQ through your PC Host computer!


INTRODUCTION:

A long time ago (in a galaxy not so far away), Microsoft released a handy "PowerToy" utility called "Remote Display Control", that allowed the user to interface their PocketPC Device from their host computer, where they could input data and interact with the PocketPC device. But this utility, like all other Microsoft PowerToy utilities, was officially unsupported by Microsoft. After WinMobile 2003 and 2003SE were released, this utility became something of a liability because it began to cause instabilities in iPAQs which had the client software installed. Numerous calls by the public for Microsoft to update this specific utility within the PowerToy tool set went unanswered. Happily, another company, Soti Inc, has risen to the challenge and has not only created a utility program that meets the standard set by Microsoft, but they have exceed it by leaps and bounds.


OVERVIEW:

This program is such a joy to use! It has earned a permanent spot in my library of “Must Have” software. It has a rich feature-set, and sports a complete and well thought-out design, which the user can customize with their choice of which controls to display, as well as free custom skins provided at no charge by Soti Inc.


PRODUCT CLAIMS:

Soti’s Pocket Controller is 2 Products in ONE:

Productivity - Enter data quickly into your mobile device using your desktop/notebook computer keyboard and mouse.
Presentation - An Ideal tool for training/presenting mobile software or mobile devices by projecting your desktop/notebook computer screen.

This program is MUCH better then MightySync as well. (perfect for itunes podcast & mp3 syncing!)
neshyd,

Thank you for the compliment!

Also, I thought I would clarify further what I mentioned in the 1st paragraph, that "Remote Display Control" is a nice remote control, but it was meant for Pocket PC 2002 and earlier systems. Later OS's like 2003 will sometimes cause RDC to have display problems, and may cause the iPAQ display to become garbled even when not currently using the RDC program...
great review on this i might say, but antoher great recommendation of a software without advanced features would be Microsoft's remote display. but yet, pocket controller proves to be better. awesome review!
Thanks for the review. I just updated my copy to 5.01.

Great!!!!
Thank you for your review. I appreciate your time in letting other potential users your experience and perceptions of the product.

Thanks guys! I really enjoyed using this utility, and found it to be really indispensable for my work at performing reviews. The built in "screen-shot" capability is great for providing users screenshots of what they need to see.

I hope a lot of people check this review out, because it really makes you think "How did I get along without this before?".
Its always a beautiful thing when your moderators spend considerable time writing reviews on products like this! Elrendhel fabulous job!
GREAT REVIEW ELRENDHEL!!!
