This is the Task Manager from Acer Tempo M900. The interface is pretty simple and was working well on the Touch Pro. It shows you the usual stuff such as the available memory, running apps, etc. The cab does NOT add a shortcut to the programs folder, so you will have to manually launch it from the File explorer.
