This articles http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=614 mentions a new replacement interface for Windows Mobile that make it much more like an iPhone. I was wondering if anyone has yet tried it out (via free trial), and how well does it work out with Pleco. Also, perhaps Mike can say if Pleco 2 runs under it, etc. The direct link to the interface is http://iwindowsmobile.com/vito-mobile-shell.html
Windows Mobile looking like an iPhone

We've successfully tested Pleco with a few other skins like this and they don't seem to interfere; really it's just an extra application, it doesn't change the underlying way Windows works but just runs on top of it and gives you a smoother UI for a few specific things. So we haven't tested this one specifically but in general apps like this shouldn't cause any problems with Pleco.
However, Windows Mobile 7 is supposed to have much more official / built-in support for an iPhone-style interface, and you might be better off waiting on that since I imagine it'll also mean the launch of the first WM phones with capacitive touchscreens (the kind used on the iPhone, which are much more accurate for fingertip movements and don't require pressure).
