Before VirtuaMouse One-Hand, only the owners of a certain small set of Pocket PCs could take advantage of the benefits that come from using a virtual mouse cursor. The usefulness of the mouse cursors found on the Omnia and the Epix have been mentioned in numerous blogs and magazines, making it a desirable feature but these devices cost hundreds of dollars. VirtuaMouse One-Hand gives all the benefits of the Omnia/Epix mouse cursors to the vast majority of Pocket PCs at a fraction of the cost of such a device.
“Innovisoft takes a slightly different approach to the virtual mouse cursor than the Omnia," said Michael Prendergast, Founder of Innovisoft Corporation. "On the Omnia and the Epix, you can’t switch between D-Pad mode and mouse cursor mode easily -– it’s either one or the other. But we recognize that both the D-Pad and the stylus are still important and are effective means of navigating a Pocket PC. To accommodate for this, VirtuaMouse One-Hand makes it easy to show and hide the cursor with the press of a (hardware) button."
"I believe that virtual mouse cursors should be used as a supplement or an add-on to the stylus and the D-Pad, not as a replacement, and that it should be easy to switch between them. VirtuaMouse is meant to give people a choice… to empower end-users and enable them to avoid being forced to use the stylus.”
