Battery Pack Pro by OmegaOne, is a really cool tool for yourWindows Mobile smartphone. This program is one I bought for myown mobile device because I liked it so much. It's really a powercombination of six tools that give you useful information on yoursmartphone device. As the name would imply, it gives you handyinformation on the state of your battery. The Battery Barshows you how much battery time you have. It also tells you how muchspace is left on a storage card, how much memory is available, and more.

A Power Store function gives you really detailed information onstorage space, memory, and even breaks down types of memory. There's aPower Task function makes things faster by letting you closeprograms that might be hogging memory. I was actually surprised to findhow many things were running that I didn't know about.
Battery Pack Pro adds a lot of power to your Windows Mobilesmartphone by providing you with lots of helpful information.There used to be a commercial that said, "Don't get caught with yourbatteries down" and with Battery Pack Pro you won't. I have it on myPocket PC and my smartphone. It makes it easy to put yourfavorite programs on the Home screen and it keeps your smartphone freeof junk and running smoothly. I like Battery Pack Pro so muchthat it's not only a Pick, but I'm also making it one of my Dr. File Finder Favorites and those are fewand far between. Give it a try, I recommend it!
