what's up guys it's CJ lips true from packing.com and today we're looking at zoom bar plus for the HTC touch pro2 and diamond to what it does or at least aims to do is extend the capabilities of the hardware zoom bar by allowing it to mimic some of the functions of a directional pad many users of these devices also previously owned the original touch pro and touch diamond so they often mention how much they miss having a physical d-pad for their newer devices so let me just jump right into it and show you how easily it works we can swipe right on the zoom bar to go down and swipe left to move up let's go to the calendar tab and we can move down move down move up and move down again so as you can see it's very easy to use now with an actual d-pad you can press and hold on a direction to continuously scroll which we can also emulate using zoom bar plus all you have to do is slide and hold and as you can see it just continuously Scrolls down until you let go of course so let me show you what this looks like in an application like File Explorer we can move down I down slowly we can jump items by swiping quickly and of course we can scroll continuously by sliding and holding and finally a traditional d-pad usually has a center button that acts as enter we can also do this with zoom bar plus by double tapping on the bar so say we wanted to look in my documents we can double tap as you can see it went right into the folder and say we wanted to go to my ringtones you can double tap again and in case you're wondering you still retain default functions of the zoom bar for apps that actually support it so let me show you this quickly in an Excel spreadsheet let's go out of here go to excel and as you can see when you slide on the zoom bar it'll zoom in and out as it's supposed to and zoom bar plus will not interfere with this function so overall I think zoom bar plus will make many users happy to have some d-pad functions on devices that don't actually have a physical d-pad hopefully the developer will figure out how to work left and right functions into the equation but as it is right now it's very handy there are also some registry edits for advanced users who want to customize some of these functions and I'm sure in the future we'll see a refined version of zoom bar plus with a user interface for settings and also maybe some new features I'll post more information on pacquiao com thanks for watching
