PocketCounter is very easy to use but still powerful counter/timer for PocketPC. The main goal in its development was to create comprehensible, small and accurate timing tool without bloating it with gratuitous features. Comfortable user interface with clear digit display and hardware-button support enables handy and smooth operation.

Timing engine is explicitly designed for mobile-platform and guarantees exceptional accuracy with low processor load.

Features:

* subsecond accuracy. 1/100 second measuring accuracy is based on special timingengine(tm) using 1000.000 ticks/second ticking high-performance-counter and software synchronizing to hardware-clock chip.

* fully supports hardware-keys. usage is designed for Compaq iPaq 38xx and 36xx-series and may not fully work on other devices. Update: Works perfectly also on Jornada 568 and Toshiba e550G (xScale) with full hardware key-support.

* large and clear font viewable even without backlight.

* standard counting-operations; start, stop, pause, reset, lap, elapsed.

* unlimited list of elapsed and lap times.

* export time list to ASCII-file. Immediately editable in Notes or Pocket Word.

* adaptive threadpriority and display refresh rate adjusting (quarantees smooth background operation for other applications).

automatic standby disable when counter is running. Forces device to stay on.

* tiny executive (~ 55 kb) to save valuable memory.

* continues counting even when device is off.

PocketCounter is our first public software-release. We appreciate all feedback and comments about application implementation, operation and compatibility on other devices. Please send us feedback how's it running (if at all) on PocketPC and other than iPaq devices

Update Description (PPC version 0.981):

* Fixed (timingengine): 99 hour rollover. Was not implemented correctly. Now rolls correctly to 100 and continues counting. Display is shifted 1 digit to the right to show three digits for hours. Accuracy remains in 1/100 sec.

* Fixed (timingengine): month rollover. Timingengine returned unpredictable results if localtime month rolled over during counting. Now behaves correctly even if year rolls over.

* Fixed (timingengine): Multiple Pause->Continue. Could cause leaping second in rare special cases. Added pre-emptive specialcase error handling to timingengine.

* Fixed: auto Suspend-disable. Worked differently than documented in help-file. Corrected behavior. Now suspend-disable is active only when PocketCounter is foreground application.

* Optimized: Display refresh rate. Now 2.5 x faster (up to 70 fps).

* Added (timingengine): 999 hour rollover. PocketCounter now supports counting up to 9999 hours (~14 months) until counter is rolls over and continue from zero.

* Changed:UI.Minor changes to Digit formatting.
