Ever accidentally deleted a file? Or crashed your computer?
Lost data and just resigned yourself to the fact your data is gone.... then Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery program is for you.
Many applications are available to write software. Most of them are very complicated, and you'll need to start from scratch if you want to learn using it: it is based upon an unfamiliar language, with its own separate grammar/syntax.
Amongst the many approaches is one, that builds upon the use of the English language. If you know English, you can make a "quick start". This type of scripting language was introduced to "the rest of us" when HyperCard was made available on the Apple Macintosh, during the latter part of the eighties in the twentieth century - now some twenty years ago. The scripting language was called HyperTalk. From that idea some interesting applications have evolved.
One of those tools is called Runtime Revolution, which is still very actively being developed. While writing this review about version 2.9, version 3.0 is on its way to be released during the autumn of this year. When I was discovering the possibilities of HyperCard, I was fascinated. Looking into the state of affairs now reminds me of that period, and I must say - after all these years - I can still get enthusiastic about this subject. So here are my impressions in the summer of 2008:

One of the reasons I say potential is because even though the hardware and its Symbian OS (3rd edition) is top of the line; it’s the ease of access to information and applications that makes the hardware truly handy. So speaking of handy, let’s have a look at very useful suite of apps Epocware prepared earlier, aptly named: Handy Tools Pro. Handy Tools Pro is a suite made up of Epocware’s Handy TaskMan, Handy Weather, Handy Clock, Handy Converter, Handy Expense, Handy Safe, Handy Keylock, and Zip Manager.
In today’s Pocket PC world it is still the norm for one to purchase software to supplement or replace the default windows applications. This is still very true for the “Notes” software provided by Microsoft. This is where Phatpad comes in. This software “is an advanced notes organizer for Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PCs. It allows you to draw pictures, jot text notes, or put a mixture of pictures and typed text on a virtual scratch pad”.
This is a quote from the manufacturer and as we all know, that has to be proven.

Want to be able to type faster than the best secretary? With unerring accuracy? Have a look at the latest version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, arguably the best speech recognition software around.

I can’t think of too many Australian programs that have hit the Big Time on the small screens in the PocketPC world.
OziExplorer is one of the exceptions. They are enjoying some well-deserved export successes and today I’ll be primarily reviewing this navigation program for use in a cockpit environment.
So, let’s buckle up and go for a spin!
