What is the Application Lock?

By default, most Windows Mobile Smartphone devices are shipped with certificate security enabled. This places significant restrictions on the APIs which can be called by software which has not been signed and approved by authorities 'trusted' by the device manufacturer.

------------------------------------------------

Why disable it?

As certification is a long and expensive proccess, it is not an option for open-source tools, or hobbyist software developers. Therefore in order to develop for smartphone devices, or apply unofficial tweaks, it is often neccessary to disable certificate security.
