Theresa is a simple PocketPC/Windows client/server application that turns a Pocket PC PDA into a MIDI controller surface.
Well, that's the plan. Basically you start the server on the desktop PC (the server sits quietly in the system tray), then start the client on the (ActiveSync-connected) Pocket PC et voila, you can use your finger on the PDA touchscreen to move faders, push buttons and XY pads. Faders, buttons and pads that can be freely assigned to MIDI CC. Theresa has customizable layouts, she's skinnable and can save/load presets. Last but not least, she's freeware (as in free beer) and open source.
