PPC Tablet is composed of three modules -- the server, client and designer. The client module, deployed on the Pocket PC device, sends pre-defined input signals to the server module on a host PC through an ActiveSync connection or any TCP/IP network, either wired or wireless. The input signals can include single key strokes, key combinations, key macros, and mouse behaviors. The designer module can be used to create a new layout profile, or modify or delete existing profiles. The program has been tested extensively in wireless environments, including 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, Bluetooth ActiveSync, Bluetooth PAN, and Bluetooth LAN profiles.

PPC Tablet 3.0 is designed with network security in mind. The connection between the Pocket PC and host PC is protected by 512-bit RSA cryptography at the user's option. The user can use a Windows account to connect the Pocket PC to the host PC. If there is no user account supplied, upon initial connection from a Pocket PC device, the server module will prompt the PC user to accept or reject the connection. These security measures provide reasonable protection for the communication, while maintaining good application performance.

The software comes with five pre-defined profiles: Default Devices, Tablet Only, Personal Data, PowerPoint Presentation and Windows Media Player. The Default Devices profile includes a touchpad, a tablet and a numeric keypad. The Tablet Only profile includes a single tablet. The Personal Data provides a set of buttons which users can customize with their own personal information to speed up repetitive data entry in electronic forms. The PowerPoint Presentation profile includes a set of pre-defined buttons to start, stop and navigate through a slide show, as well as a touchpad that can navigate the pointer or draw on a PowerPoint presentation. The Windows Media Player profile provides a set of buttons to control media playback and sound volume in Windows Media Player. All these profiles can be further extended by the users based on their individual needs. There are several additional profiles available for download on our website, including those for Firefox, Internet Explorer, iTunes, Winamp and OneNote.

In addition to pre-defined profiles, users can create new profiles with the designer module. The designer supports the creation, modification and deletion of software-emulated input components, such as key buttons, mouse buttons, touchpad or tablet. The size, location, label and corresponding action of each input component are all customizable and saved into a specified profile.

PPC Tablet is compatible with all Pocket PC 2003, Pocket PC 2003 SE, and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices (including VGA-capable units), as well as Pocket PC 2002 devices with .NET Compact Framework installed.
