"Windows Mobile comprising the options of a launcher, a task manager, and a multitude of Today plug-ins. Winterface gives the user unprecedented freedom to easily lay out interface exactly the way they like it. As a shell Winterface removes the necessity to turn to default Windows Mobile interface: Today screen and Start menu. Winterface opens instantly whenever users draw a simple gesture on the screen. It allows users to have as many screens as they need and put on them icons for applications, settings and contacts. As a launcher Winterface features one tap launch of any installed applications and settings. As a task manager Winterface lets you easily switch between running applications. A fixed icon on the first screen lets users see running programs, switch between them or close them."

In a continuation of it's touch-interface programs, VITO has released Winterface, which combines a new shell, launcher and task manager. Unlike the built-in shell, which sorts programs alphabetically under the Program Files folder, you can create your own pages and sort them however you like. You can download a demo or purchase directly from Vito. While the regular price is $19.95, they are offering SPB Mobile Shell owners a $5 competive discount for a few more days. Additionally, Winterface will now replace GoodWin in iWindowsMobile Communication Suite v 1.05. How many of you have changed your interface to something like Winterface or SPB Mobile Shell?
