Windows Phone Thoughts: Pocket Zen Phone: Define, Switch and Schedule Profiles

"PZP is a Today screen plug-in for Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003 which permits the user to define and switch between various audio and functional configurations, much like the profiles on many typical mobile phones. The plug-in displays five icons which represent the five modes (or profiles) that can be configured, unlike the earlier versions they can now take up almost as much or little space as the user wishes since the icons may be skinned (simple bitmaps, plenty are available) – I have mine as a simple row of text bitmaps for the modes (Silent, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal & Loud). To switch mode simply tap the mode of choice and the underlying settings are applied."



I don't have a phone edition (yet), but this looks like an very useful application. The ability to schedule profile changes seems especially handy, particularly for repeating meetings, transit times, etc. It's fully skinnable, and completely free! Is this something you'd find useful? Anyone care to try it out and report back? :D
