ArtelPlus, a software company engaged in developing mobile applications for PDAs and smartphones since 2003, is now releasing new application Mobile Macros – PocketPC version for starters.
Mobile Macros is designed to make user’s life easier. It is achieved by automation of frequently repeated user’s actions through creation and later use of so-called macros (sequences of events such as stylus taps and moves).
When developing the application the company initially set the aim to make its use as simple and intuitive as possible, so that a user would not require any special experience or skills. Any frequently repeated sequences of actions such as checking e-mail, changing settings, multistep launch of applications, can be recorded as a macro and later on reproduced in one action. A macro is a text file that can be edited by standard tools. A useful feature of the application is that a macro can launched through a shortcut, which, in turn, can be assigned, for example, to a hardware button.
Due to the broad field of application, Mobile Macros will be appreciated both by beginners and advanced users, system administrators as well as testers of mobile software.
Macros can be used in many different ways, for example:
The application supports Windows Mobile 2003/5.X/6.0/6.1/6.5, any screen resolution and orientation. The future goals are to release a customized version for smartphones, to expand the list of reproducible actions (running Control panel applets and anything that is difficult to do with a stylus), to add alternative ways to run macros (by setting time or event such as turning on/off the Pocket PC, incoming call or message and so on, by using icons or soft-buttons on the Today screen, through interaction with third-party applications), to provide for an option to work with a list of macros (rename, delete, etc.), to edit the macro on the device. But even in the current version Mobile Macros offers functionality that can make life of any PPC user much more enjoyable.
ArtelPlus gives an opportunity to all users to download a free trial of Mobile Macros. The full version is available only for 7.90 USD from ArtelPlus Web Site http://www.artelplus.com/macros.php [1] and mobile applications stores.
