Creating a video recording: This is absolutely one of the crowing achievements of this program! Can you imagine presenting a training video on your PCs that clearly shows your use of the PocketPC window, and includes your navigation of the PocketPC menus and options? The info is recorded to an AVI file that can be distributed and played back on any computer with software that supports the AVI format. Incredible!

Overlay Drawing: This feature is very useful in Presentation mode as you can draw on the PocketPC screen shown on your Pocket Controller screen on your PC. WYSIWYG Printing: Pocket Controller Pro supports “What You See Is What You Get” printing, which means that whatever you see on the screen, that that is what you’ll get on your print-out. If you happen to like using a skin, then you will get the skin along with the screen print. While this is entirely expected on PC format applications, to have this on PPC level programs is quite remarkable! Boggled yet? Well, don’t stop now, because there’s a whole lot more!
Landscape Viewing: For those of you with WinMobile 2003SE or the upcoming WinMobile Version 5, the software works beautifully in supporting landscape viewing. It does so by either clockwise rotation or counter-clockwise rotation. So those of the left-hand persuasion can enjoy your layout just as well as the right-handers. Additionally, Pocket Controller supports multiple levels of Zoom, from 50% up to 300%.
System Information: a very informative screen filled with lots of information. This option is really necessary in today’s day and age where it’s almost a necessity to have all this information in one spot.

Macro Recorder: Macros may also be recorded for future playback to automate functions the user considers does not care to repeat over and over again manually. Includes a Record function, a Stop function, and a Play function.
Return of the DOS Box: If I had not seen it with my own two eyes, I would not have believed it. But Pocket Controller Pro includes a DOS Window Box for interfacing with your PocketPc at an emulator level! And it really does work well. For those of us who never really forgot their DOS commands, this is a great blast from the past.
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER:
While the DOS Box is useful, it is an emulator session, and is therefore not a true system-level access to the OS.
