Windows Mobile is the platform known for its power but a slight downside with Windows Mobile Devices is that you have to whip off the stylus every time you need to operate the device or use your nails which can cause scratches on screen.

Now here is something which can help the Windows Mobile owners. An app named VirtuaMouse One-Hand will create a cursor on your phone which can be operated by the directional pad. You use the D-pad to move your cursor on screen and activate the clicks. Thus easing down the job of taking out stylus every time making this app the choice of lazy perks.

This app is surely is good utility for Windows Mobile but the only downside here is the price. You can buy the app for $24.95 which is nearly 3 times the pack of three additional stylus. However, you can also try the app for first 30 days for free. Thanks Kevin.
