Welcome to the Handheld PC Users Toolkit

The Handheld PC users toolkit provides HPC:Factor users with access to some small web utilities which may come in useful for both their on-line experiences and their Handheld PC Experiences. The toolkit is designed to run through the web browser, and on any device with no need to install software or controls onto your PC.

If you have any ideas for new web utilities which we could include in the toolkit, please get in touch.
