Command Prompt provides a real console for Windows Mobile, it supports most of standard DOS commands and many other extended commands. Command Prompt allows running any console application, so developers who want to make simple programs without developing user interface can make and running console applications with standard input/output. Even better, Command Prompt supports batch commands and scripts!

You may think it’s surprising to develop a console for a touch user interface, but it can be useful for example to run a script when a specific event occurs, to realize complex file operations, to diagnostic or to get a total control over your phone.

A concrete application is the use of SysActions, a small program included in TouchXperience which allows you to execute system actions from command line, for example: turn off the phone, rotate screen, change backlight, activate WiFi, change profile, sync messages, close an application, change theme, control Touch Diamond/Pro ring LED,... There are more than 100 possible actions!
