We've published the July edition of ITScriptNet News.  You may have received this in your email box as well.  This months new includes information about the 2.3a release, new Ready To Go apps, upcoming features, and more.

It was a long time in coming, but the latest ITScriptNet release is finally here.  Version 2.3a adds support for Hand Held Products Dolphin mobile computers running Windows Mobile 5, as well as Unitech HT660 and PA600 devices.  There are some new features and a few bug fixes as well.  You can see all of the detail in the Knowledge Base article Updates in ITScriptNet V2.3a(6).

We are very excited about this new release, and we hope you will download a demo and check it out for yourself!

If you have a Windows Mobile based portable device with a keyboard that contains function keys, you may have noticed that not all of the keys are available to be used as Hot Keys by ITScriptNet.  This happens because Windows Mobile has hard coded some function keys to system features.  You can see the list of keys here.  Although this article refers specifically to the Stand Alone emulator, some device manufacturers also follow it. 

Our experience is that Hand Held Products devices make all function keys available to applications, while Symbol devices do not.  You should test on your device to see which keys are available.

We have added a Knowledge Base article on this topic:
