Visual Color Picker is one of the most handy little utilities around (and it’s free!). It’s basically a stand alone, all purpose color picker for Windows. It’s got all the little sliders and swatches you’d expect in a color picker. [...] Both HTML and RGB color codes for your selected color are displayed in the main window, ready for cut and paste. [...] There’s also a handy Color Preview window that allows you to see how different colors look together. [...] By far the most useful feature of all is the Screen Area Capture. This is similar to the eye dropper tool in Photoshop, but you can grab a color from anywhere on your screen! [...] Simple, handy, just works, and it’s free!

This is a sweet little program. Pocket Controller Professional from SOTI gives you complete control of your Pocket PC from your desktop computer. You can take direct control of your Windows Mobile device just as if you were holding it in the palm of your hand. You can do everything you’d normally do with your Pocket PC, plus take screen shots, record videos and macros, and more. It would be especially useful to people reviewing, demonstrating, testing, or developing applications for the Pocket PC, but could be very handy for the casual user as well. It’s nice to be able to manipulate your handheld with a standard mouse and keyboard. It’s sure a lot quicker and easier than using the stylus, especially if your handheld is docked. It doesn’t have to be docked though; you can take control of your Pocket PC over TCP/IP as well. Read on for more details.
