PocketShield is an intelligent device locking application. It prevents accidental touch on the phone screen and hardware keys specially when it is turned on not precisely by you. For example: when receiving calls, email notifications, SMS, alarms, battery alerts, reminders, etc. As you may have experienced, PocketPCs “wake up” whenever any of these events occur, they will also wake up when batteries are low, and randomly when phone signal changes antenna depending on your location. But the problem is: What if the phone is inside your pocket in that moment? Touch screens will take any touch over it as a user input, and arbitrary “touching” could cause many undesired results!

Updates in the new version :

• Added slide-down / slide-up from any point of the screen (setup at Settings > Unlock > With slide > +)
• Added option to select Notification Booster audio file (with audio preview)
• Improved landscape display mode (notification icons and power action buttons)
• Auto detect caller ID picture size. The legacy Outlook (low resolution) pictures will not be displayed in fullscreen to prevent distortion.
• Default setting for auto-rotation is now 0 (disabled). To always wake up in portrait must set HKLM\…\ROTATE=2
• Added support for Manila (TF3D) Music player (for “Except when” permissions). Now you can play TF3D Music in screen off and locked.
• Improved integration with Windows Media Player (for “screen off” operations)
• Changed: ViewMode with “tap screen” replaced by “with any button press” (with tap activated too easily when bringing out from pocket or case)
• Changed: If an app which is in the “Except when” list is active, when you power off device PS will close that application to prevent battery drain risk. This is the safe mode, to use the traditional(unsafe if not aware) way set HKLM\…\ADVEXCEP=1
• New higher quality icons for WM 6.5 Start menu
• Fixed Settings black screen on specific ROMs with Sense 2.1/2.5 [issue in 3.2.6 only]
• Fixed Settings not loading when SBP Shell 3D acceleration enabled [issue in 3.2.6 only]
• Faster loading of settings [compared to 3.2.6]
• SMS notifications improved
• Extra setup/tuning option for light sensor unlocking
• Fixed light sensor calibration bugs (not saving always)

We did review an older version of the app a while back . Get more info about and download it from PocketShield.net. You can get this app for $14.99 and they do have a trial version with limited theme support and a nag screen.

Waze, the first free provider of driver-generated maps and real-time road information, today announced a new holiday version of its free navigation app to include holiday-themed ‘road goodies’, a treasure hunt contest, integration with foursquare, as well as multi-language support.

Waze recently added ‘road goodies’ – small icons worth bonus points – to the map in areas where the waze system has identified map problems. As users drive around to munch these ‘goodies’, the system analyzes the driver’s GPS data to automatically solve the identified problems, improving map quality, and therefore navigation, for all drivers in that area. The holiday version features wintery, new ‘road goodies’ including snowflakes, candy canes and small gift packages, scattered all over the map.
