Ref: MS Money 2006 for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs
The MS-provided offering to sync Money with a pocketpc still doesn't support WM5, so I'm on the lookout for an alternative - any recommendations?
I've tried 'Cash Organizer' which does support WM5 (everyone but MS seem to be able to get their software up to date! :evil but has a fairly icky interface.
Can anyone recommend another?
Mastersoft Mobile Solutions Money is very good.

Does it sync with desktop MS Money?
I had a quick look at their site, and the closest reference I found was:
"Import and export qif files to and from Quicken(TM) and Microsoft Money(TM)"

which implies the ability to sync from handheld to desktop, but not the other way around
It'd be good to be able to see stuff like current account balances - can this do that?
I've been using SPBFinance Money Edition, quite good -- better than MS Money in the sense that it even allows you to have foreign currency accounts sync'ed!
In my opinion the SPB offering is kind of a copy of the Mastersoft one. Not sure about syncing with desktop Microsoft Money as I only use the PDA prog, but you can find out if you check out the support forum in the link I gave you. They are very quick at answering queries in my experience. ANd you can always download a trial and see for yourself what it does and if you like it.
KeepTrack from Illium soft is very good. I use it since a year ago. Give a try. Very stable and syncronizes perfect

SPBFinance has version/module to Sync with MSMoney. See

Maybe it's better to think about SPBFinance... according to this

OK, I realize that this won't matter to many of you, but since I searched on here earlier hoping someone would know, maybe I can help someone in the future.
If you use Microsoft Money 2003 and sync it to your handheld, you'll find that once upgraded to Windows Mobile 2003, the installer won't install on the handheld (It expects PPC 2002). To work around this, you need to visit Microsoft's site www.microsoft.com/money and download the 2004 version of pocket pc money. Now it will install on the handheld but won't recognize money on the PC, so you download the older PPC 2002 file (from www.pocketpc.com's download section) and it will create the appropriate entry in ActiveSync.
Just an example of an oddity, perhaps it will help someone else.
I ended up upgrading to PPC money 2004 and then to Money Deluxe 2004 to get it to work properly. Both files can be found for free if you search around. I used eDonkey.
If thats not blatent I dont know what is ... LOL
like record companies... if Microsoft stopped screwing its customers then they might actually buy something?
I'm a little against using software from MS that I havent bought.... means they can still add me as statistic on who uses Microsoft...
80% of desktops run Windows... prolly 25% of that is legit
Pocket money 2004 for WM2003 and for MS Money 2004 is exist.

Even if It was one year ago, problems are always the same. I have upgraded to MicrosoftMoney 2005, an Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1(the last one) doesn't recognize MM2005 version (it aspects 2004 one) and so I can't install it on my PC and on my Qtek2020. I had upgraded MM2004 version to 2005 one, manteining Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1 installed. But on Syncronizeing it didn't recognize MM2005 version. Than I tried to uninstall Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1 and to install it trying to let its see MM2005...but it didn't.How can I create the appropriate entry in ActiveSync so that MM2005 be recognized?
so you download the older PPC 2002 file (from www.pocketpc.com's

I am looking for software which will allow me to keep my flight and hotel itineraries and track my expenses while on business trips. It needs to be stable on WM5 and preferrably alow me to sync or export the expenses to Excel.
Any suggestions that you can recommend from personal use / experience?

Keeptrack is a nice application

I use triptracker and love it. http://twopeaks.com/TripTracker/
Thanks. I just installed trip tracker trial and will see that it.
Are you using TripTracker on WM5? I could not get it to work on WM5 (mainly the synch part). Any hints would be great!

logmein works on all wm phones, eespecially my 8525.
I have mine set to widescreen at home, and it looks great w/my rectangular screen (as opposed to treo).
Where are you having a problem?
i use realVNC on my home pc and vnc ppc viewer on my 8525... its free and works great!

If you want to stick strictly with VNC, go for the new PT Pocket Office.
BTW, I'll publish a BIG roundup & article of all these issues in the near future.

What does exactly happen? When does it refuse to run? Please elaborate - I know everything about all these services and remote access.
i seem to remember reading somewhere that it only works with an unmodified pocket internet explorer. It certainly works on my vario II.

It's indeed faster than other free VNC viewers but still consumes about 3 times more bandwidth than commercial solutions.

bandwidth for me isnt a concern, unlimited data plan plus a 6megx768k dsl line into my house... but do commercial solutions offer the same amount of control as VNC? just curious cause i do run a private FTP server out of my house and like the ability of total remote control over my pc when i am away... i believe i tried logmein.com about 4-5 months ago and dumped it, dont remember why, maybe cause i had to pay, but thats when i found a beta ppc version of RealVNC and have used that ever since.

PT offers built-in file transfer in the latest Pocket Office version and the author also promises clipboard synchronization. It's also much faster and consumes about 3 times less bandwidth.
Hopefully, I'll be able to publish my roundup of all remote access solutions the day after tomorrow - I'm still trying to hack the H/PC .NET RDC client (it's WAY more advanced than the native one on the Pocket PC) to the PPC.

What's exactly the problem? Do NOT trey to use it with RealVNC servers - it won't work. Use PTeSVNC instead.
Also, the config options are a bit overwhelming at first - I'll, of course, elaborate a LOT on them in my forthcoming roundup.

Pocket Informant
ThumbCal
Even if now, the Manila Calendar Tab isn't so bad...
Thank you both.
Gajet, any issues with PI and touchscreen "sans stylus"? Is it finger friendly?
ThumbCal looks good too! I'll do a trial of both when I get back to a computer.
Keep 'em coming if there are anymore.
Cheers.
MyLifeOrganized. I use the desktop version. Best GTD app I've found. There's a ppc version. They sync. MLO is extremely flexible. You can set as many contexts as you want. There's a google group for it as well.
The latest version Pocket Informant 9 has been given more gtd options
I did see this NextAction programme that integrates with Tasks on the phone:
$50 is pricy! Thanks for the link though.
The HD2 brings me back to WinMo after about 3 years as well and PI was one of the apps I was keen to try out. I loved it on my HX4700 and ran the latest trial version on my HD2 straight away.
Unfortunately, I found it really difficult to use with the capacitive touch screen and I uninstalled it after a day.

This is why I haven't bought the HD2. I still may, but I suspect there will be other programs which are hard to use on a capacitive display.

weareborg,
Take a look in Task2Gather, by Vito Technology, at vitotechnology.com/windowsmobile-task2gather.html
"One place for all your to-do lists on your Windows Mobile! Task2Gather is your personal to-do list and your collaborative tool for your business. What is unique about Task2Gather? You can share your projects, distribute actions to employees or family members and keep track of their progress. You can manage tasks depending on scale of importance and deadlines. For a simpler use you can just remind yourself of your things to do for the day from buying bread to finish your big presentation at work.
Even if your family members, friends, or colleagues don't have Windows Mobile device, they can work with you from a desktop PC, Mac or even iPhone. The idea of updating your shopping list while you are in the shop will be to your wife's liking."
It looks like a good solution for me.
It's finger-friendly and cheap: $ 0,99.

Hi All
Anyone know where you can find the Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 Beta for download?
It says it is available but cannot find download link anywhere..

It's available on the Marketplace. Just do a search on the word "office" and it finds it. (Did for me anyway!)
does it worth it the 2010 Office? Is there big improvements?

As far as I've read on other sites, no. People are slating it for being exactly the same as previous versions. You'd be better checking the microsoft site to see what improvements (if any) are in there.
i've got it installed and it is pretty much the same as the old version, though i'd say scrolling through excel files is easier now but it all still looks the same, apart from the new icons. The only new addition is SharePoint workspace which i haven't really used
ok thanks, i think i will wait for the 2011... or the upgrade of windows m7...
OneNote Mobile was supposed to have been improved in Office Mobile 2010, but the Beta is exactly the same as the 2007 version. Maybe the improvements will appear in the final version.
Does anyone know if 2010 will allow you to edit powerpoint documents? I'd find that really useful.
I have installed the Office Mobile 2010 but when I restart my phone, it crash the services.exe so no choice but to revert back to the old Office Mobile.
Anyone got the same problem also?

As far as I understand that's exactly what it does, although apparently when your main memory is full you can choose whether to remove old apps or install to storage card. Why you can't choose in the first place is beyond me.
That's "What's new" according to MS:
http://www.microsoft.com/Office/2010/en/mobile/default.aspx
As I see it the major inovations are Sharepoint, Outlook and copy/paste across apps.
Office 2010 is practically the same thing as far as I can see. On a mobile phone the main thing that office should do best is document viewing on the go. its not too good for that and unfortunately the iphone is better for viewing. The furthest zoom isn't far enough. The zoom levels are quite far apart and it's not fast or fluid. After that, it should have a function to edit a document. Quite a weak effort imho.
It has threaded view of all emails (not just Exchange) ... similar to sms feature ...
http://www.wmexperts.com/latest-version-outlook-features-threaded-email-messages
I think most of the main updates are around email and will only work with Exchange 2010.

Yes - I tested this and it worked quite well... You select the relevant text box and then you can edit the text in a simple text editor window... It also worked very well on a fairly complex PPTX file (9MB) with lots of text animations.
