Can I run all of these at the same time?

I have noticed that many are using PocketBreeze, iLauncher, or Pocket Plus. Is it wise to have all of these installed or do I just need one? I don't want to install two or more pieces of software that have similar functions and waste memory and possibly slow down my Axim to a crawl.

I think Ilauncher and pocket plus do essentially the same thing, but like psionandy said, do the trial versions. One thing I highly recommend b/f anything else is a good backup strategy like sprite backup. So if you try a new program and it screws up your pda you can do a hard reset and reinstall your last saved backup from the night before. This saved me 2 weeks ago.

I use all 3. iL as a tab in PB and P+ for all the other goodies and to keep a memory, battery and brightness applets on the today screen as a single line plugin since I can't have iL as a today screen item AND a PB tab

I have all three, currently using two of them.

PocketBreeze gives a very nice integrated Today screen (and works well with Agendus or PocketInformant for enhanced PIM capability).

iLauncher gives some nice meters, a Tabbed interface to icons, and icons on the system tray.

PocketPlus gives some nice meters, a Tabbed interface to icons, and some enhancements to PocketInternetExplorer (PIE) and a remedy to the way Windows Mobile close really only minimizes rather than closing.

To get the close remedy with iLauncher you'll need something like MagicButton or vBar (or use the Start/Setting/Memory/Close function of WM).

You can peruse the View MyPDA of various folks and see what they run and how they run it.
