had to be connected to Windows machine to capture screenshots. For Windows Mobile

available for Windows Mobile. So here are few of the free applications for Windows Mobile

PocketScreen 1.3 (10-11-2007)

5. PocketScreen: This is another utility written in VB.Net and supports file types of *.bmp,
*.jpg, *.gif or *.png. You can also set capture timer with this utility.

If you have any more better FREE apps for Windows Mobile screen capture, please do share
it here.

I was looking for a tool to make screenshots of my phone. But I couldn't find the 'perfect' app
for it. So I wrote a tool myself.

It's called PocketScreen. It's been written in VB.NET so you need the .NET Compact
Framework for it.

Attached is a screenshot of the application.

You can set a timer from 1 to 60 seconds (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 seconds)
Further you can decide to exit or focus the application after capture.

The supported filetypes are *.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif or *.png.

When you press the capture button it will automatically minimize the application.

I've tested this on a Wizard only but it should work on any PocketPC with .NETCF 2.0
installed.

Updates

Version 1.3 (10-11-2007)

Some users who tested the application reported an error when opening the directory browser.
I cannot reproduce the error but I tried to 'fix' the error.

- Option focus and exit application after capture changed. Now either focus or exit must be
selected to prevent the program to stay minimized in memory.
- Directory browser updated. Root is not shown.

- When an error occures while displaying the directory browser a window will be displayed
with the error message. (please report)
- Subdirectories will not appear twice (or more) anymore after expanding/collapsing multiple
times.

Version 1.2 (07-11-2007, 20:30)

- Settings will be saved on exit. (and will be loaded on startup, of course)
- It's possible to set the number of captures.

Version 1.1 (06-11-2007, 16:00)

- The default save as dialog has been replaced by a new directory browser. Now it's possible
to choose a subdirectory to store the captured screenshot
