The iPhone slide-to-unlock feature has set new standards in phone-blocking, and has left the Windows Mobile locking function looking very antiquated.

S2U2 kicks in when your phone is idle and displays a screensaver that looks remarkably like the one on the famous Apple device. This features a clock, battery indicator and the famous slide bar itself, which you just need to hold and drag to unlock your device. If you like, you can apply password-protection in S2U2, meaning that a code is needed to access the device once the slider has been swiped.

S2U2 does a lot more than just add phone locking though. In fact, the myriad of features inside its iPhone-themed Settings menu can be pretty daunting at first. You can tweak various aspects of the display such as the time and date formats, clock fonts, items to display, etc.

You can also use S2U2 to apply wallpapers, add MP3 sounds, configure alarms, and much more. Actually, the application is now almost as useful as the Today screen itself.

Install S2U2 if you want a more modern and user-friendly way of locking your Pocket PC.

Windows Phone 7 is designed to look and feel much better than existing devices, and from. One of the features of the new OS will be a completely redesigned user interface in keeping with the dark and futuristic visuals of Windows 7.

The Windows Mobile 7 Theme for devices running the current Windows Mobile OS is designed to make your screen look and feel like WM7. In reality, though it bears little resemblance to the new operating system, probably because the Windows Mobile 7 Theme was designed before Windows Phone 7 was announced (hence, the name isn't even the same!)

The Windows Mobile 7 Theme doesn't change your device much at all, merely adding a darker Today screen background. Although they're included a transparent Start menu, there's little else to excite in here, as all the other menus, command bars and nav bars remain unaltered.

The Windows Mobile 7 Theme furnishes you with a pretty stylish background image, but it is far from a carbon copy of the new Windows Phone 7 Series.

This Windows Mobile program provides instant, bi-directional translations of thousands of useful phrases. The phrases are divided neatly into categories based around what situation you might find yourself in. These include Basics, Traveling, Hotel, Food and drinks, Sport/Leisure, etc. All categories are readily accessible from the Home menu in Talking Phrasebook, where they are clearly labeled with icons. Note that only the first two topics (Basics and Traveling) are available in this trial version.

Click on a topic and you'll be presented with a list of common words and phrases related to that theme. The text in the list is in English and the Spanish translation appears underneath. You can swap these around by clicking on the change direction icon in the toolbar.

Of course, Lingvosoft Talking PhraseBook 2009 doesn't say 'Talking' for nothing, and whenever you select a phrase (in English or Spanish) an audio pronunciation will be played. The quality of the pronunciation is very clear, and you can adjust the volume level using the control within the toolbar.

Lingvosoft Talking PhraseBook 2009 is dead easy to use thanks to its colorful, user-friendly interface. This interface is customizable with themes, and has a handy search function for quickly finding phrases among the thousands stored within the app.

It's worth noting that Lingvosoft Talking PhraseBook 2009 doesn't let you look up individual words to translate. For this, you need to choose 'Related Software' from the 'Tools' menu and select 'Translate in Dictionary'. You will then have to install Lingvosoft Dictionary.

If you're looking for a travel companion for a trip to a Spanish-speaking country, then Lingvosoft Talking PhraseBook 2009 makes for a compact, easy-to-use solution.

For some people winter is a horrid time, but others really enjoy the season as it's a chance to huddle in the warmth and light candles.

If you're the second type of person then you'll probably enjoy the December Feeling theme. Install this onto your Windows Mobile device and you'll get a lovely festive background image of a blue candle surrounded by holly and shiny baubles. The theme also includes a transparent Start Menu bar and it changes the navigation and status bars to a dark blue color.

It may not be the most exciting theme ever but December Feeling makes for a pretty seasonal skin for your Pocket PC.

If you're one of those Twitter addicts who can't bear to be away from the service, then Twikini is the Windows Mobile app for you.

This free Twitter client offers a quick and straightforward way to send tweets and check what your friends are up to, while you're on the move. Once installed, you just need to enter your Twitter account details into Twikini and the application will automatically import all of your data.

The friends you're following are displayed in a clear timeline view in Twikini. This display can be customized, allowing you to change the font size, the name display, and the number of tweets that appear. You can even choose from a selection of cool themes to pimp your Twikini even further.

Tweeting from Twikini is dead easy, thanks to a prominent 'Tweet' button that appears at the foot of the interface. Not only can you quickly type a message and post it, but you can also add your GPS location or capture an image from your PDA's camera and add it to your tweet.

Version 2 of Twikini adds a smart new geo-tagging feature that lets you apply your location to your tweets via your GPS coordinates. You simply need to check the 'Geotag with GPS coordinates' option and your location will be included. Also added in this latest version of Twikini is support for the official retweeting feature in Twitter, plus the ability to view other people's Following/Followers lists.

Twikini still doesn't offer you the full range of features that you'd find on the Twitter site itself, and the search options aren't as complete as they could be. As it stands though, Twikini is a clear, simple and fast Twitter client for Windows Mobile, which integrates neatly with your device's camera.

I only ever seem to eat nuts around Christmas time, so it seemed quite fitting for me to install the Holiday Nutz Theme during this festive season.

The Holiday Nutz Theme features, as you might expect, a load of nuts strewn across the background of your Pocket PC. It's the typical selection you'd expect to see in a bowl in your house at Christmas, including hazelnuts, almonds and Brazil nuts.

The Holiday Nutz Theme also applies a new color scheme to your Today screen, adding a browny-colored Start menu and some fetching shiny brown menu bars at the top and bottom of the interface. The colors match very well with the main image, making this one of the more tasteful Windows Mobile Christmas themes I've seen.

That said, you may find the idea of having a bunch of nuts as your background wallpaper a bit boring.

If you fancy decking out your Pocket PC for Christmas, then get hold of the Greetings 24 Theme.

This free Windows Mobile theme will give your device a frosty winter theme. It features a striking sky blue background adorned with pretty snowflakes. The wallpaper appears behind the Today screen and the menu screens in Windows Mobile 6.5 and there are no significant readability issues.

If you want a tasteful seasonal theme for your Pocket PC, Greetings 24 Theme is a great choice.

These days it's not enough to just hang your stocking on the end of your bed at Christmas. It's the 21st Century now, so why not hang one out on your PDA too?

Luckily, if you install the Greetings 48 Theme on your Pocket PC, you won't have to wait for Santa to arrive, because the stocking in this background wallpaper is already filled with goodies. Besides this background image, Greetings 48 Theme also adds a new pink Start menu drop-down, and applies a red and white color scheme to the Windows Mobile interface.

The artwork in this one is pretty basic, but Greetings 48 Theme still makes for a fun festive theme.

The Windows Mobile 6.5 interface looks a darned-sight better than previous versions of the operating system. If you're still not happy with it though, or you've got bored of looking at it then check out the Splendid Space Theme.

This elegant theme transforms the look of your Windows phone, adding a cool black background wallpaper with swooshy effects. The background also shows up on the Start menu and any text that appears in front of it is perfectly visible.

Splendid Space Theme is not particularly exciting and doesn't offer anything in the way of new menu icons. What's more, the URL of the theme's creator is constantly displayed in the corner of the screen.

However, if you're looking for a black skin for your Windows Mobile device then Splendid Space Theme is worth a look.

Windows 7 has been a major improvement on Microsoft's previous operating system, Vista. Although the OS isn't available as a mobile OS, you can at least style your device around it using Se7en Look.

The theme, which is compatible with Windows Mobile 6.5 devices, transforms the user environment, giving it a fresh new look. The first thing you'll notice after installing Se7en Look is the high impact new start-up screen featuring the Windows 7 logo.

Se7en Look also overhauls the Today screen, adding a cool blue background with a giant '7' on it. Open the main menu and you'll notice that many of the system icons have been changed to fit in with the Windows 7 style. These are very impressive and will make your device look even more modern.

The Se7en Look theme is nothing like the new Windows Phone 7 OS in its design, but it does make for a refreshing new look.

If you're looking for a way to get your Pocket PC ready for the Holidays, then check out the Greetings 37 Theme.

This free Windows Mobile theme adds a great Christmas background wallpaper to your device. The enchanting, hand-drawn scene features a snow-covered village with a giant Christmas tree standing proud in it. The attention to detail in the scene is excellent, from the illuminated shop windows, to the little dog sniffing the cold winter air.

The Greetings 37 Theme also changes the color of the menu bars of your system's menu bars, adding a fetching royal blue color. Unfortunately, the theme is let down somewhat by its semi transparent Start menu. The white background gradient on the menu makes it difficult to see the white text behind it. It would've been much more sensible for the theme's designer to use black text here.

On the whole though, the traditional winter scene offered up by the Greetings 37 Theme makes this a good way to deck out your PDA for Christmas.

If you're a fan of Planet Earth (and let's face it, most humans are) then check out the World 400 Theme for Pocket PC.

The theme places a background wallpaper of a vector globe image onto your Windows Mobile device. Unfortunately, it's just an artist's impression rather than a satellite image of our planet, but it does look quite stylish, I guess. The World 400 Theme also darkens the blue menu colors and adds a new transparent Start menu.

If you've ever wanted to hold the World in the palm of your hand then install the World 400 Theme now!

The Jumping Fish Theme has got to be one of the more surreal mobile skins I've seen. In fact, if Salvador Dali had a Windows Mobile device, I'm sure this would be the first thing he installed.

The principal image in Jumping Fish Theme features a plucky goldfish leaping out of the water. The wallpaper also features some weird egg-type objects and lots of squares with crosses on them floating about. Quite what all this means is anyone's guess.

The Jumping Fish Theme also alters the appearance of some of the other elements within the WM interface. A deep, royal blue color with gradient is added to the top and bottom menu bars, and a new Start menu design is applied, which actually makes the options very readable.

I'm not too sure why you would choose to install the Jumping Fish Theme, but I get it's quite appealing if you like surrealism.

Let's face it, we'll probably never get to set foot on Mars in our lifetimes. In fact, the closest you'll get to it might be to install the Mars V61 Theme on your Windows Mobile device.

The Mars V61 Theme will transform your Today screen, applying a striking image of the surface of Mars as your desktop background. Above the horizon of the Red Planet you can see the Sun, then above that, the blackness of Space.

The theme also changes the menu bar colors, applying a sandy brown shade to the top and bottom bars.

Though it's not exactly out-of-this-world in terms of its innovation, the Mars V61 Theme sure makes for an eerie spectacle.

The title of this program might be a bit misleading - Vista for PDA doesn't actually replace the Windows Mobile operating system with Vista, it merely makes it look a bit like it.

Vista for PDA adds a new background wallpaper to your Pocket PC featuring those famous swirly blue and green lines in front of a black backdrop. The text on the Today screen is changed to a gray color, which is perfectly readable.

Thankfully, Vista for PDA uses a background color on the Start menu, rather than a transparent box, making the icons and text easily visible. The theme also alters the colors of the top and bottom status bars in Windows Mobile, adding a rich royal blue/purple hue.

Although Vista for PDA won't add any Vista-style functionality to your device, it does make for a striking theme for fans of the Windows OS.
