How to automatically show Battery Power Status on your Pocket PC

So I had to use my wife’s XDAIIi to make a phone call the other day, and being the good husband that I am, I checked to see if the unit actually had enough battery power to do it. I was then reminded about one of the major flaws with that version of Windows Mobile : it didn’t show battery status by default on the front home screen. Pretty dumb for a device that has limited battery life.

Heck even the iPhone has a battery life indicator out of the box!

I thought back to the days I had a Windows Mobile device and the app I used to display battery power. Like a light bulb, the words “Battery Pack Pro” appeared to my mind’s eye. I did a search in our Mobile Software section of the website and found that, it is not only still available but it was still getting rave reviews too! Check out the details of Battery Pack Pro below:
