Vito Techonology announced today the release of updated versions of SMS-Chat (v1.21) and ZoomBoard (v2.04). Both applications have been improved with minor bug fixes. SMS-Chat now has threaded view for all three skins that was previously only available for the "bright" skin. Zoomboard now includes the "bright" skin to coordinate appearances with Vito's Communications Suite.

SMS-Chat is a threaded text messaging application that allows you to organize SMS correspondences into threaded conversations. We found it to be a feature-rich application that is definitely worth a trial run.

ZoomBoard is an on-screen keyboard that provides accurate finger typing. Every time you press a letter on the keyboard, a zoomed image of the key is displayed to confirm what you are entering. The letter is typed only when you release the key giving you the ability to slide from key to key.

In recognition of these updated versions, Vito is bundling SMS-Chat and ZoomBoard together for a discounted price.

With the advent of a certain feature phone from Apple Computers, mobile software developers have been forced to raise the bar in relation to the UI (User Interface) of their applications. Of the myriad of arguments for and against the iPhone’s various features, the interface is undeniably an exercise in intuitive and effective artistry and is a step in the right direction for mobile devices.

ViTO Technology, the makers of Winterface, has carved their niche in the Windows Mobile world by developing software that is feature rich, but also has an element of eye candy to it. SMS-Chat is a threaded text messaging application that adds some iPhone like functionality to your Windows Mobile Pro device.

For those stuck without a 6.1 update or those who really dislike 6.1's default threaded SMS in Outlook, Vito's SMS-Chat might be worth a look.
