SPB Kiosk Engine Provide kiosk mode for your programs
One very common application for Pocket PCs is their use as a specialized device where access to many functions is restricted or disabled and only a few applications can be used — this is called kiosk mode. Several vertical market applications require kiosk mode. For example, a kiosk mode can disable all games and other entertainment programs on the Pocket PC.
Spb Kiosk Engine allows you to run your custom application(s) in kiosk mode. In this mode, the target application(s) are the only ones that can be used on a specific Pocket PC device.

"Spb's Kiosk Engine software enables users to run one or more applications in kiosk mode, but also offers the option to switch between these apps. The application is one of the most flexible from the entire suite offered by the Russian developer, which also includes Spb Kiosk Explorer and Spb Kiosk Terminal. Spb Kiosk Engine offers a complete solution for those companies that want their customers or employees to be focused on certain predefined programs."

«This program has made it very easy to turn our Pocket PCs into instant and reliable demo kiosks.»

«We were introducing our new restaurant thin client application for Pocket PC and were looking for a method to lock people into our application and disable all the other functions/buttons on the handheld. After trying out several products we were blown away by the combination features, stability and ease of use from Spb Kiosk Explorer. I can honestly say it has saved us hundreds of hours in support calls by forcing the user to stay within the confines of our application.»
