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.

Reviews & Awards

Jeremiah Gill, Microsoft

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

Aaron Demers, Vice-President of System3 POS, Inc

«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.»
