mPack helps make your Smartphone complete. Sure, the built-in software can do
Calendar, Contacts, a little task tracking, and basic calculations, but what
about all the other great things your Smartphone could do for you? What about
taking quick notes? Timing your daily jog? Reading a classic book? Calculating a
tip and splitting the check among all the people at the table? Figuring out how
much a mortgage will cost each month while you're visiting the property? And
wouldn't it be nice if you could get a little advice from an Inscrutable Oracle
as often as you need it?
-
GREAT FUNCTIONALITY: 11 components covering a wide range of
useful functionality and fun.
-
TINY & FAST: mPack takes up less than 100KB of storage - less than
many individual Smartphone utilities from other companies. Components launch
quickly and save your settings so that you can pick up right where you left
off.
-
CLUTTER-FREE: mPack is a single application, so it won't spam
your Programs/Start menu with a slew of entries.
-
DESIGNED FOR SMARTPHONE: Many current Smartphone applications are
simply ports of desktop PC or Pocket PC programs. mPack was designed from
the very beginning to be a Smartphone product.
-
EASY INSTALLATION AND UPGRADES: With a single install, you get all of
the mPack components. When a new version is released, a single download and
install ensures that all components are updated to the latest versions. This
means you have only one product to keep track of, rather than a dozen
separate utilities all updated at different times!

line breaks

Stopwatch
- Two modes - stopwatch & countdown timer
- Stopwatch tracks up to 99 individual laps including time for each
individual lap as well as elapsed time when each lap was completed
- If your phone supports an accurate high resolution clock, displays
hundredths of a second
- When stopwatch is not visible, goes into low power mode to conserve
battery, but immediately updates and continues when visible again.
Stopwatch applications without this feature can devastate battery life.
