Due to large and fingertip-friendly keys, text input by hand or stylus becomes effortless, and typing foreign languages on a standard keyboard is fast and accurate.

Looking for handy onscreen keyboard in your own language? Need for effective text input tool and want to type using the finger as well as the stylus? With up to 60 national layouts and large finger friendly keys, InterKey for Windows Mobile will be the best solution!

Features:

  • 60 national keyboard layouts give you the ability to write in your native language. You can use multiple layouts simultaneously and quickly switch between the languages. For some languages additional alternative layout is available, for example, Latin American, Brazilian, US Dvorak, etc.

FairwayWatch was designed with the user in mind. The simplest yet most impressive user interface makes using the scorecard out on the course easy and fun so you can enjoy your round that much more. Priced well below the competition, but with competing feature sets, this is a must have out on the courses.

Now with GPS. Yes we have included a GPS Distance View with Club Selection in our Program. Always know just how far you are from the green or any obstruction and which club you would normally use. You really shouldn't have to pay extra for such a handy and fun technology.

Note: Works with the GPS setup in WM5-WM6 devices, some hole 'surveying' required on each course.

And watch for a New Desktop Version of FairwayWatch with Handy Course Entry, Scorecard Printing, and Round analysis coming very soon which will be FREE for all Registered FairwayWatch Users.

This program sounds nice and I'd suspect the 'surveying' would include entering the locations of the holes and intial distances, etc. But, after that, I'd imagine this program would be SWEET!
