OK, I have a massive 4 dollars in my Handango account. This enormous sum will disappear after the 11 of October. In order not to waste this considerable sum, I've decided that I should buy another app for my Axim. I know I will spend more than 4 bucks, but that does not worry me too much. The trouble is though, I don't know what to invest in. After some head scratching I've come up with 3 options:
1. Buy iLauncher- with its potentially useful safe mode and task manager - and it will work with Pocket Breeze, I hope - I have version 4.3.
2. Get the newer version of Pocket Breeze - which is already superb.
3. Upgrade Agenda Fusion from AF 7.something to AF 8.something - the dual alarms feature sounds interesting, but I don't really need it.
Over to you wise frequenters of this 'ere forum. What do you reckon I should splash out on?
I'll even be happy to receive suggestions re other apps. Games and multimedia do not really interest me, though.
Thanks,
Alexim:)

If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you're happy with an app you already have then maybe you should just get a new one. Check out people's My Pda's for cool ideas. What apps could be useful to you? Do you need a list program or an alarm clock? Get what you need, and make your pda useful.
Thanks for the advice - but my PDA is already very very useful and I have the apps that I need. Anything else would just be icing IMHO - which is why I'm not sure what to get.
I've just installed iLauncher to have a play with and it seems OK, although it robs some screen real estate from PBreeze, which is a pity. My other task manager sat in the top bar of the screen, leaving plenty of space for PB. Do I really need it? Not sure yet.

I run iLauncher in a PocketBreeze tab. It does not take any space from PocketBreeze this way. I set the loading method for the iLauncher tab in PocketBreeze to Static to ensure that the icons iLauncher loades up in my system tray are always there.

akheron - the selection of software is bewildering!!
AKAJohnDoe - running iLanuncher in a PB tab - I had not thought of that - good idea, but I don't think my version of PB - 4.3 - will let me do this. I think I would need PB 5.x for this - so I could end up with iLauncher and a new version of PB - more than the one app I wanted but............. Do you work in marketing bay any chance;-)
P.S. PB is one heck of a good PPC app and I sometimes wonder whether I could just use it and do without Agenda Fusion.....I don't know.
I shall think on.
Thanks for the input:-)

LOL, nope, not working in marketing!
I am reasonably confident that I recall running iLauncher under PocketBreeze prior to V5, but ... what was I saying just now?
I also use PocketInformant (competition to AgendaFusion) even with PocketBreeze as PI adds some functionality to the basic WM PIMs. I would expect that AF does as well.

Yes, AF adds some functionality as you suspect. Anyway, I just thought I would let you know that I have invested in iLauncher, after having tried it out and found it darned good, I might add. Those folks at SBSH even gave me a neat little discount of 30% for being a former customer.
I like the way they do business and their products are first class. And Mr AKAJohnDoe I may well splash out on the latest version of Pocket Breeze too!!:) :)
Have you ever thought of working in marketing??:approve: :approve:

Well, to take you on an unexpected twist...I have found Wisbar Advanced 2 and Wisbar Desktop 2 to be about the most useful programs own. A whole new approach to desktop management.

I'm sure they are very good, but I do like the way that with iLauncher I can place icons to my favourite apps directly on the today screen, meaning I do not have to use the drop down Windows start menu and the tabbing system seems easier to use than the menu system.
I am using iLauncher with the latest version of Pocket Breeze, which I am testing at the moment and I really like the combination. I do not have to fear too many compatibility problems between the two apps, seeing as they come from the same software house - SBSH. Indeed, I really like the new Pocket Breeze and love the combination of both apps - they really do make things much easier and faster to get at on my Axim.
Having said the above, I have had one lock-up since I've been using the PB iL combination - for some reason when I clicked on an icon my Axim froze and only a soft reset would sort it out. I'm running PB from the SD card and iL from main memory, which may have something to do with it.
In some respects I feel as though I should complain to SBSH for bringing my Axim to an early demise because their apps will ensure that my Axim wears out much faster, as a result of its becoming just far too useable!!!! :approve: :) :)

And of course if you want those $4 to go further, then ask Amit for the discount codes for PB/IL in his discount thread.. 50% off PB (and then some for il/cb/pw etc... )

Incidentally, the SBSH people released iLauncher 3.0.01 today - a bugfix release to add some language support back in, as well as to fix some lockups caused in the Options area, but indicate it may fix other stability problems.

Haesslich - thanks for that - I'll check it out:)
