PocketPC apps should prioritize on being easy to use. I find that the simplest applications tend to be the best ones.

For example, for my school work I use regular Calendar and under NOTES I place my HW assignments because its so flexible and easy to access. I tried so many apps where you have to through hell knows how many menus, options, properties, and so much organization that it becomes useless for easy data INPUT.

I haven't found an organizer better than the generic Windows Mobile one. Other things can be accomplished with Excel rather than a specific program.

Many apps have ONE good feature and then rest is useless crap.

I tend to dislike Microsoft but in this particular case I think they did the best job for providing the most useful software already present in Windows Mobile!
