iSpin Lite is a PalmOS launcher with a set of incredible features. It is a replacement for the standard PalmOS launcher replacement. It not only launches standard PalmOS applications in the usual manner but goes far far beyond the standards when running iSpin-enhanced applications.

iSpin is a not only a launcher, but a "multi-tasking" run-time environment that runs iSpin-enhanced applications concurrently in a Windows-like manner.

See the developer's site for additional components, such as Windows conduit, themes, etc.

The commercial version of iSpin launcher adds more functionality. You will get:
* Resident mode, i.e. taskbar activation within external application (ARM-based handhelds only)
* Custom JPEG desktop background. You may choose a JPEG image from your card to be shown as desktop background (ARM-based handhelds only)

Note: This is the free version of iSpin. Click here for the commercial full version.
