Reviewer: Jake Richards (JakeRich)
Product: ilauncher Release 3.1
Manufacturer: SBSH
Price: MSRP - $14.95, (Free Upgrade to all v3.0 owners)



One of the things that Microsoft didn’t include in the Windows Mobile operating system is the ability to put icons on the desktop (Today Screen) and then directly run the associated application by tapping the icon. You have to get to programs through multiple taps and menus.

One of the vendors to step into the void created by that omission is SBSH Mobile Software. They created a product called iLauncher that allowed for exactly that functionality. Their latest release is 3.1, and it adds some significant improvements in functionality.


You can download a demo version from SBSH at their website and try it for yourself. Installation is easy and the software is installed as a Today Screen option. At $14.95, iLauncher is easily the best addition I’ve made to my PDA.

SBSH iLauncher is a must-have for me!

A comparison of this latest iLauncher and newest Pocket Plus would be very interesting. They're beginning to look like twins.

Something similar has been said in reverse.. See this link:

hehe saying that they're starting to look like twins doesn't necessarily (sp?) mean iL is copying P+. Anyway, the 'who is copying who' debate is an old one and I kinda got over it. It's not like I can affect anything and in the end both companies seem to make popular software.

Anyway, I've been playing with the beta version of iL 3.1 for the last weeks and I've got to say that I really like the new features and use them very often! :)

I wasn't accusing either company of copying anyone, I was just commenting that they look like twins. There are many other products that are look alikes and why wouldn't one company copy anothers successful product (TV shows for example). I don't mean "copy or twins" in the literal sense, maybe similar would be a better term.

My main point was just that it would be nice if a comparison of the two could be done.

A comparison of SPB P+ and the PREVIOUS version of iLauncher has recently been made, so all you have to do is consider the new additions when you read this article:
