Re: Cursor on Pro

Here's one that I came across. It works on the pro, the problem is being able to control it as smooth as in the video. It just doesn't seem to want to move like that for me. It was fun for about 10 minutes.

EDIT: Got some screenshots. You have to look kind of close for the little yellow arrow.

Re: Cursor on Pro

Thanks! Sounds wicked kewl, I'll try it on my pro tonight...

Re: Cursor on Pro

not to sound negative but what would be the purpose of this im just curious?

Edit: i know what it does and how it works but wondering the practicallity of it seeing as how our devices are touch screen.

Re: Cursor on Pro

A novelty. Not really useful when the phone's a touch screen. . . Kinda going back in evolution, but it looks cool!

Re: Cursor on Pro

It could help with bumpy plane or car rides, but I agree with the novelty. Plus it's one more thing that I can do with my phone that my friend's IPhone can't.

It's funny, no matter how useless the ap is, he keeps trying to convince me that his IPhone can do everything that my Pro can do. NOT!!

Re: Cursor on Pro

Download VirtuaMouse One-Hand v1.0 for Great Web Surfing and Device Operation on Windows Mobile Devices

If you have experienced using Samsung smartphones such as Omnia/Epix or i780i, you may be impressed with the mouse scrolling feature that allows a truly one hand operation when doing web surfing or function control on mobile devices . If you are hoping one for your Windows Mobile device that doesn’t come integrated with this great feature set, here is very useful software solution, known as VirtuaMouse One-Hand v1.0 from Innovision Corporation that can help you to emulate the same usage without any hardware modification by using the D-pad on existing device.

Once after installation, it will bring you to the simple VirtuaMouse setup interface that allows users to configure before the first time use. Basically there is a way to enable cursor acceleration, how fast a cursor speed responsiveness, an assigned button to show/hide the VirtuaMouse and even users can choose specific image of cursor (black, white with large, small, extra small size) that suits own preference. Immediate after that, click on the VirtuaMouse One-Hand icon and you are now ready to scroll the mouse with combination of left, right, up and down button on your D-Pad.

With the fully customizable setup, the software utility is claimed to be even better as compared to what being offered in Samsung Omnia/Epix smartphones. I have tried it myself on HTC Touch and it just works great especially when you are driving that almost no way to operate your mobile device with only one hand . The software utility is compatible with Windows Mobile 2003, WM5, WM6 and users can enjoy a full function 30-days free trial without any charge. Download the Windows Installer http://www.innovisoft.com/downloads/...ouse-Setup.exe

or cab file http://www.innovisoft.com/downloads/...-Setup-OTA.CAB

hope this helps

Re: Cursor on Pro

These are a good start. But I beleive what Hibby was hoping for (and what I would like to see) is for a pointer to be controlled by the touch capacitive panel at the bottom of the phone rather than the d-pad. Like the circle center in the d-pad. Kind of like a mouse pad for a lap top would be great!

I think it would be useful for Opera or other browsers. Sometimes it is hard to select the right link if there are a few bunched together (without the stylus of course).

Re: Cursor on Pro

Check out the second post in this thread i put up the video of the .cab i put on here and it looks to be close what your looking for . i dont think a capasative version is out anywhere. but maybe this thread will generate enough buzz for it and a cook will try.

Re: Cursor on Pro

yea that is cool, but like mr hawii said i meant capacitive. so buzz this thread

Re: Cursor on Pro

This looks great. Way to go hibbs!
