MortSaver 1.0

If you're carrying your Pocket PC in your pocket (wow, isn't that a novel idea?), you've undoubtedly at one time experienced pressing the screen and/or buttons of your Pocket PC while it was in your pocket, causing your device to drain its battery. If you ran out of luck before your battery ran out of power, this might even have caused a non-functioning Pocket PC that needed to be resurrected by charging it. MortSaver promises to help you with that. Put it in your Start Up folder, map a button to MortSaver, and with the press of that button shut down your screen and lock all of your buttons except the MortSaver button. If you press any of the other buttons, there will be a message stating that the screen will shut down in 5 seconds, and it will do just that.

I haven't tested this, and so far I've just used the option on my i-Mate PDA2k to lock all buttons except the power button. The problem with that of course is that it puts the device on stand by, pausing any music I'd be playing with Windows Media Player. So an application like MortSaver sounds interesting to me. How about you? What solution do you use to prevent your Pocket PC from draining its batteries through unwanted button/screen presses?
