Forward Pass RAD Tool - Now Free

Forward Pass is a scripting/development tool for Pocket PCs. You can design forms on the device itself, and can write out scripts using VBScript and JScript.



Last week, the company decided to stop selling the product, but instead of just shelving it like many companies do, they decided to give it to the community!

"We regret to announce that we are discontinuing sales of Forward Pass for Pocket PC. For a number of reasons, and after much discussion, we have decided that is necessary for us to concentrate on other parts of our business. Effective immediately, the product will no longer be sold. Instead, we will make it available as freeware. We will continue to support existing users of the product through at least August of this year."

It's sad to hear that it won't be an officially-supported channel for the developers that need it, but if you're a hobbyist looking to get your feet wet in a development solution, free can't hurt. 8)
