Some applications where this might be useful are voice recorders, music players or wifi detectors.

Powerboot might be just the application you have been looking for. It is compatible to a variety of mobile phones. Lots of Nokie phones like the popular N73, N95 or N96 are on the list of supported phones but you also find many Samsung and a few other mobile phone brands on the list.

The application works in principle like the Windows startup folder. The mobile phone owner selects applications that he wants to autostart and enables Powerboot afterwards. The selected applications will then be automatically started when the phone is turned on.

Powerboot offers several options on how to add applications to the startup. It is possible to pick an application from all installed applications, a running application or a Java application. There are also two modes to consider: Safe Mode and Quick Mode. Safe Mode displays a query before autostarting applications while quick mode will start them without interaction.
