Smartphone & Pocket PC, best of everything 2006 cd was released today. Did anyone purchase it last year? If so were you satisfied with your purchase. The $297 is a bit steep all in one shot, but if you used enough of the apps. I guess it would be worth it. Here's a link in case your interested in checking it out!

I would like to here everyones feedback on this one.

They did it last year as well, in my mind it is too expensive and no one should really do it ALL at once.

In my mind you should download trials of similar programs to find what you like best, then just spend the few dollars on that one program that you are going to use all the time :)

I believe they still have a spreadsheet to help people determine whether it is a good deal for you or not. You check off the software you would purchase and it talleys up the cost. For people who have been buying software for a while it probably won't be a very good deal, but if you just bought a PPC and plan to get a lot of software it is actually quite a bargain. I know I have a lot more than that invested in software at this point.

I looked at this and using their spreadsheet calculator for what I wanted I would have saved some money with the CD. But this was based on paying the full price for the software I wanted and if you keep an eye on the forums here you will find frequent promotions, sales and discount codes from both software companies and web stores. If you are prepared to be patient then I think you can get most of the software you need for less than full list price which could make the CD savings less attractive.
