As different programs may use different GPS data formats GPS2Clipboard can format them as sexagesimal, fractional, decimal and as a Google Maps link ready to be pasted in an Internet Browser or a Google Kml placemark ready to be used by Google Earth.

Did you know that the HTC Touch Diamond and Pro has got some really wicked hidden features. Using an application called Nav Debug Tool by HTC, the video shows that the whole front of the device can track finger movements, and even two fingers !!!!! The one thing iphone users brag about used to the multi touch, well we are going to get it soon enough.
So far there is no know feature on the Touch Diamond/ Pro that exploits this, but once the good folks @ xda-developers get their hands on the API it wont be too long. With features like multi touch and accelerometer , HTC Touch diamond and Touch Pro should be ready to be flashed with WM7 !!

GSlide is a simple yet versatile file explorer with a thumb friendly kinetic slider interface.
Right now it explores only files and folders, but pretty soon you will be able to iterate xml. Or any structured data actually.
For now it is only a viewer, so it wont mess around with files and should be harmless. Of course, as usual, no guarantees of any sort are given.
To install just drop the folder into your Programs folder. It works wherever you place it, but I have set up some example shortcuts with command line arguments which assume that you put it at the default location.

Requirement:
- WM5 Phone or WM6/6.1 Professional devices (with built-in Windows Media Player)

ChangeLog v0.50
- the Album View now can flow. (since this view is very CPU intensive, it may be sluggish on your device)
- added 2 control buttons in the Album View.
- added option (FastAlbumPic) to retrieve embedded album pic faster (same as v0.38); but if the album pic cannot be loaded probably, disable this option.
- changed option AlwaysLoadAlbumPic to AlwaysLoadEmbedAlbumPic; it’s only useful when a folder contains a mix of songs from different albums. If there is no embedded album pic in your song files, make sure to set it to 0.

- added support to RealVGA.
- won’t keep the system alive when it’s paused.
