November 28th, 2009 - Wizcode announced a new version Wizcode Unformat Mobile today. The new version now officially supports Windows Mobile 6.5 devices as well as Windows Mobile Smartphone devices. The new Wizcode Unformat application also supports 240x400, 240x440 and 320x320 devices.

Wizcode Unformat Mobile is the most powerful data recovery application from Wizcode's data recovery product portfolio that features deep scan of file system data and is able to recover data even from formatted storage cards. The current version of the application is able to recognize more than 180 different file types and successfully recover them. File system fragmentation can prevent data recovery software including Wizcode Unformat to recover lost files so it is recommended to keep storage cards free of fragmentation by using utilities such as Wizcode Defragment Mobile or Pocket Mechanic Professional.

Wizcode Unformat Mobile can be used to:

• Recover deleted files.
• Recover lost files.
  
• Recover files from volumes with file system erros.
  
• Recover files from formatted cards.
  
• Recover data left from prior formats.

Below is the list of changes in the new v1.02:

• Added support for 240x400 screen resolutions
• Added support for 240x440 screen resolutions
• Added support for 320x320 screen resolutions
• Added support for non-touch screen devices (WM2003, WM5 and WM6 smartphones)
• Added WM5/6 style menu for fast access to the actions in the shell
• Code optimizations, cleanup and minor bug fixes

Wizcode recommends upgrading to this new release to all its customers. Registered customers receive free upgrades. Non-registered users are encouraged to download and test the 30-day trial version of the application free of charge.

June 24th, 2009 - Wizcode LLC released the first public beta version of Wizcode Unformat Mobile.

Unformat Mobile is a data recovery product for Windows Mobile that uses file header recognition deep scan techniques to recover data from storage cards. Read the full press release here.

The beta can be downloaded from Wizcode's server:

• Downoad Wizcode Unformat Mobile Beta for Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC devices
• Downoad Wizcode Unformat Mobile Beta for Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC devices
• Downoad Wizcode Unformat Mobile Beta for Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC devices

To install the beta please download the corresponding .CAB file to your device and start it using the file explorer. After the installation is finished navigate to your Programs folder (tap Start Menu->Programs) and find the application icon. Tap the icon to start Unformat Mobile.

To recover data from a storage card launch the application, choose Unformat and select the storare card you wish to recover from. Wait for the application to scan the entire card. This is a slow process because it has to read every single sector from the card and examine the data from it. Please note that even if you stop the scanning process the application will still attempt to recover the data from the sectors read.

After the scan is complete you will see a list of potential recovery candidates (files). Select the ones you wish to recover and tap 'Next'. You will be asked for a location where to store the rescued files (they cannot be saved on the same card). Wait for the recovery to complete.

We would like to propose a small giveaway of 5 licenses for the application to anybody who actually tried Unformat Mobile and was able to recover files from his card.  Try scanning an old and even a formatted storage cards - you will be surprised at the amount of info Unformat Mobile will be able to get back. Post your comments here and we will randomly pick 5 users for the contest.

Good luck!
