utilities

Here's an interesting app for your Windows Phone. Meeting Rooms is a utility that allows you to check the status of your company's meeting rooms and reserve them from your Windows Phone.

Setting up the app is a little on the hit/miss side but it appears that you'll need to configure the app to your company's server.  Then you add the meeting rooms that are available for scheduling. From there it is a simple process of finding the date and time of your meeting and seeing what rooms are available.

It's a shame this app isn't compatible with the dry-erase board that I use to reserve conference rooms. But, if you have a meeting reservation system on your company's server, Meeting Rooms might give you an advantage in locking down that conference room.

Meeting Rooms is a free application that you can find here (opens Zune) over at the Marketplace.

Looking for a swiss army styled app for your Windows Phone? No, not one that comes with tweezers and a nail file but one that has a healthy collection of tools? If so, you need to check out All in 1 Toolbox.

All in 1 has nine tools in the box that include:

• Flashlight: 4 different themes
• Unit Converter: length, area, volume, weight, temperature, angle and time
• Secure Notes: protects your notes with a password and encryption. Organizes your notes to categories.
• Date Calculator: adds days, time and subtracts dates
• Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator: calculates BMI and shows BMI category
• Tip Calculator: calculates the tip and splits the check
• Counter: +/- buttons for counting, with save and load
• Password Generator: generates a customizable password and saves it to the secure notes
• Product Comparison: compares 2 products with price, quantity and discount.

The tools are launched from a "lazy susan" styled menu and are an interesting assortment of applications. I can see some coming in handy on a daily basis, while others may only be used once in a while.

The All in 1 Toolbox is running $1.99 and there is a free trial version available to let you give a whirl before buying. You can find All in 1 Toolbox here (opens Zune) at the Marketplace. 

Oh... there is a free, ad-supported version of All in 1 Toolbox.  Toolbox Free has the same nine tools and simply adds an ad banner into the mix.  You can find Toolbox Free here at the Marketplace.

The popular utility CleanRAM has been updated to version 2.3. The memory cleaning utility is a favorite for cooked and standard ROMs to free up valuable Windows Phone memory.

Along with a few performance tweaks that makes CleanRAM more stable, the new version includes:

• Adds language strings: "Show Black Curtain", "Wisbar advance desktop" and "Infinity"
• Support for Ageye Infinity GUI and Wisbar advance desktop cleaning
• The option to drop a black curtain over your screen while the app cleans things up.

You can download your copy of CleanRAM v2.3 here or if you're already using CleanRAM, go to the CleanRAM configuration menu and tap "update".
