Windows mobile has got a lot of screen lock applications , but this particular shareware application called PocketShield offers a unique way of locking and unlocking the screen. PocketShield uses the light sensor to determine if the phone is inside something(without light reaching it). So if it’s receiving light it is probably because you have it in your hand, or you have it over your desk, or someplace where there would be no reason to have it locked. Other locking options include

• Hand gesture, moving it in a particular way.
• Slide your finger over the screen from the top towards down.
• Stylus out.
• Press D-pad round button.
• Application permissions

You can combine any of the 5 unlocking mechanisms, as they are designed to work together. Choose the configuration that suits you better!

What’s new?
- Notifications customization.
- Notification booster while in standby (will remind you your desired alerts and notifications so you never forget them).
- Slide-to-snooze for Notifications booster.
- Option to lock(or power off) with stylus in.
- Auto display hidden WM notifications after unlocking (no more need to click over the tiny taskbar bell).
- WM6.5 fully supported.
- WM Alarm supported in Applications Permissions (PS unlock upon WM alarm)
- Lite mode: can disable completely phone and/or notification options to just leave lock/unlock features.

If you constantly find that you accidentally click on the screen while the device is in the pocket then you will love this Pocket PC Software. PocketShield is an intelligent locking/unlocking application. Prevents accidental touch on the phone screen specially when it is turned on not precisely by you. For example: when receiving calls, email notifications, SMS, alarms, 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? or inside its case or pouch? Touch screens will take any touch over it as a user input, and arbitrary “touching” could cause many undesired results.
