Does anyone have any software which they've purchased for their Universal that they'd recommend? If so, why?
Pocket informant. Its the only PIM worth having, and it turns the useless PIM functionality built into PPCs into something that runs my life. Wouldn't be without it
If had had to narrow it down to one app, it'd have to be PocketBreeze by SBSH.net
Integrates with the aforementioned PocketInformant, but even if you haven't got PI, then PocketBreeze transforms your today screen into a far more usable beast. It's about a million times better than SPB's rip-off clone, and has far more functionality and configuration options. Plus it's regularly updated for bug-fixes and extra functions - and that is something that a lot of other software houses could learn from.
Oh, and the SBSH support forums are outstanding.
For me it's Resco File Explorer, SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Weather tweaked to pick information from BBC and not weather.com
If you use Lotus Notes, CommonTime's mNotes is pretty cool =) But then I would say that, since I work for CommonTime.
Pocketbreeze everytime.
Iliumsoft Listpro. By FAR the most handy app for personal management of lists.
http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.htm
Very customisable
Microsoft Voice Command
Pocket Informant
SPB Pocket Plus
SPB Diary
SK Tools
Soti Pocket Controller
Sprite Backup
Aol Messenger
PpcWebCam
Some freeware/Shareware
Cambridge VxUtils
Total Commander
PH Registry Editor
TCPMP Media Player
GSPlayer Media Player
Insignia Solutions Jeode Runtime
Agile Messenger (need better wm5 support tho)

Killer App
I agree with many of the recomendations above and mention was made of SKTools (eagle 1), which I have yet to try, but the killer application for me is SKscheMa which can automate all sorts of daily tasks including turning on and off WiFi, BT and GSM at specific or regular times.
It has a powerful scripting language which has allowed me to create a macro to insert my meeting text, title, place, date and time, who attended etc. It can simulate taps and tap and hold as well. Support is very fast and efficient.
I have even used it to turn on the Bluetooth at regular intervals until we get a fix for that bug.
Strongly advise you check this one out.

Don't be put off by the simple web site - this product "rocks".
This product os brilliant - sync email calendar with your pc wirelessly (GPRS/3G/WIFI) push email too so you don't have to sync manually...
http://www.intellisync.com/pages/Products/Express/Benefits/
Free trial - only snag is your pc (or at least a pc theat you can access your mail from) needs to be always on. WOrks with outlook/lotus notes etc
And I don't work for them!
Common time is also good for Notes but I couldn't work out how to sync wirelessly.

You know you get free support with your 30 day free trial, right? ;-) Give them a call and they can get it all up & running for you. Something to do with locations and preferred order, if memory serves. But then it should run when cradled, when in WiFi range (if you have WiFi) and over GPRS if you have your firewall opened properly. Of course GPRS may be an issue if you're on a corporate network - there was talk about a solution to get round that about 18 months ago, but I think the company's sales focus has shifted towards corporates (Notes is used a LOT by corporates in the US) so features for individual users are on the back burner for now.
I did try to get in touch with them but they didn't seem very interested - I did actually buy it as it was the best option for cradle based syncing - Do you know of anyone specific I can talk to?
Pocketzenphone for me is the most important. Easily change between phone profiles e.g. Loud / meeting /flight etc.
Can be set to do this at specific times e.g. Go to silent at 23:30 and back to normal at 8:00. Also integrates with outlook - e.g can put it into meeting mode when your calender shows meetings or for me puts the device into flight mode when I have flights marked in the calender.
cheers
Haven't purchased yet, but will do so shortly: a backup app. My choice is SPB Backup, but Sprite or Sunnysoft's should do just fine. The reason for buying one should be fairly obvious

Your best bet is probably to pick up the phone when you're at your PC/PDA. I think the support number is on the site under Information/Contact details. Scroll down to after the list of links at the top.
If you called them before and can remember the name of who you spoke to, I'll go upstairs & give them a clip round the earhole In general we get a good response about our support!

The default weather source is weather.com which I have found to be pretty useless. However, if you go to here;
www.pdagold.com/themes/details.asp?t=12007
you can pick up forecasts for Spb Weather from the BBC. Follow the Readme.txt and it's pretty straight forward. The forecast is so much more accurate than weather.com (in my opinion)

Does SPB Weather also shows NOWs weather? I installed it and didn't see that option, and not that many other options at all.
I purchased and used Weather Panel on my previous PDA2K and that program proved to be super accurate.. actually it showed the weather condition in my city relevant to the minute... e.g. Changed to 'FOG' icon and FOG began.. Changed to Raining now.. and rain just started an hour before..
I didn't see these features in SPB weather.. maybe i missed them though...
Sounds like you've found a way to CONTROL the weather - [/quote]Changed to 'FOG' icon and FOG began..
!!
Anyway - all SPB does is pick up a forecast from wherever you tell it to. In my case I just use the BBC's site.

I've bought Voice Command and photo contacts pro, both I really like.
Freeware that surpasses all others to me is:
Qmail3, ugly as sin but so much better than the built in email client.
Will Check over an activesync connection, very useful at work, and one button handles multiple account checking. Glorious!
Does RSS and NNTP as well.

Never really bothered with RSS untill I bought my missus a new phone this christmas and it had RSS built into it and I find it quite good.
I see that there are absolutely s**t loads of RSS feed programs for PPC.
Just want some views on which are the good and which are the bad.

Try:
a. NewsReader ($$)

c. SPB Insight ($$)
d. pRSSReader (Freeware)

f. Hubdog (?? donno much about this one)
I personally use pRSSReader (due to it's decent today screen plugin, scrolls new items like a ticker on the today screen) but thinking about trying out PocketRSS ..

pRSSReader get my vote. I like the today plugin and it's still free.
Hi,
I tried pRSSReader, too. Nice program but I had a little problem on my VPA compact III:
The Windows Mobile bootscreen disappeared after the installation of pRSSReader. Now the screens turns to white until the Today screen is loaded. Does anyone else have this problem?
Mark.
Update: Sorry, it is a know issue:
[http://pda.jasnapaka.com/prssr/releases/1.3.2.php]
Known Issues
When migrating from 1.2.0 version of pRSSreader, you have uninstall the previous one. This is because of the name change in the instalation file. This change has to be made to allow pRSSreader install on Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) versions of Pocket PC.
On some devices, pRSSreader may cause that the boot screen of a device will be completely white. It is a problem of pRSSreader and will be fixed in 1.3.3.
pRSSReader looks pretty good so far, cheers peeps.
Shame about the white boot screen bug, but its a minor issue. Will be sorted on next release.
S.K.

It might be the best .. I think it was voted the winner on 2006 PocketPCMag awards too .... but the biggest problem is the today screen plugin .. Only pRSSReader or PocketRSS has decent today screen plugins and both of them can be used as plugins for PB tabs on the today screen .. and only pRSSReader has a plugin that shows new items as a ticker on the today screen ..

I could see how that might be a problem for those who want to read news on their Today screen. I don't. I'm very happy with the ways NewsBreak's Today plug-in only shows the number of new items and them I launch NewsBreak reader right from there. I'm very carefully select what's on my Today screen - most of it is taken by SPB Diary.

NewsCopier
MaximumSoft NewsCopier is a freeware RSS reader. Features include:
* hiding of read articles,
* Cleartype support,
* allows feeds to be stored on your memory card,
* support for a wide variety of RSS-feed formats: RSS 1.0 (including RSS 0.9, 0.91, 0.92), RSS 2.0 and Atom
* Automatic (periodic) updates of feeds
The basic user-interface is quite similar to Illium's NewsBreak, but it lacks advanced features like alerting on keywords and loggin into protected feeds.
Meh. I prefer Google Reader Mobile. You can use the full UI on a computer and manage feeds from there. On the mobile it is just a stripped down version of your feeds.

Egress has a today plugin with ticker as well
I also like pRSSreader, which I've been using for a few weeks (and I tried several before settling on this one).
But there is one annoying feature. It's a pain in the ass to add new feeds. You can't just add the URL of the actual blog, you have to add the URL of the feed - which is easier said than done in some cases. Unless I'm missing something?
An alternative to any Pocket PC reader is simply to use PIE and access Bloglines (www.bloglines.com) which renders beautifully on a Vario II and includes all of the your usual Bloglines feeds.
how do I install prssr.....everytime I download the zip cab the installation fails...my 8525 trys to open the zip cab file with the proprietary htc zip program preinstalled on the machine.
I use pRSSreader... it's great, i love the cycling stories that allows u to tap it to go right to that story instead of sifting through all of them.
I'm a BIG RSS guy. I love my RSS over 400 Feeds. It's my only way to get information since i'm either always working or traveling.
I've used the following and here is my opinion
SPB Insight:
Love this one. Only 2 problems. (1) no video support (yet, i was reading that next version should have it) (2) can get slow sometimes. the version fixed a lot of this but i guess they never accounted for 400 RSS Feeds.
The new v2 today plugin is nice and with the recent update there are several options. you can also click http links in the feeds (NICE FEATURE)
pRSS:
This one for being free is nice but not my favorite by far. I have to say the ticker is nice but limited options. I also think the setup of adding and removing feeds it not the best in the world but it allows you to read and it is pretty quick if you are not reading from a SD card
Hubdog:
THis one has many things i love and hate. I love the fact you can do videos, pictures, links,etc. however that all comes with a price. Hubdog is SLOW, and i mean SLOW. it crashes like you would believe it. And one time in on of the earlier version it caused my SD to stop being see by the OS. (a soft reset fixed that) I think the best thing i love about hubdog that i wish others would do if that you can go to hubdog.com and setup your RSS feeds there and then when you login to your hubdog account form you mobile all of you RSS feeds are all setup. This is not my favorite RSS Reader but of the free ones i did like this one the best, despite the crashes.
Newsbreak is my next RSS Reader to hit up. I downloaded the trial and i am excited to see what it can do for me. Important things for me is the UI, plays video/audio for podcast and has a today plugin.
I hope this helps and i'll update when i play with Newsbreak.
Spb Insight also has a Today Screen plug-in with scrolling headlines (and photos) also has a few other features, like some sites you can choose to download full text, photos and all. For myself though, I found the Today screen text and photo crawl to be annoying.
Newsbreak, which I'm testing now also does nicely with playing audio blogs.
IMO PocketRSS is superior, and FREE!!

From http://www.happyjackroad.net/purchase.asp
Products for Purchase
PocketRSS is now Free, just install, go to About screen, enter your email, and press Auto-Register button.
The purchased versions are the same as the shareware versions, except that you will also receive a Registration Number which will allow you to run beyond the initial 15 day trial period.
I tried it, it registers permanently for free,
and I find it superior to pRSSreader in all respects including today applet....
great documentation within the program, too.

Anyone know a program that sits on the today screen that has updated weather AND currency built in?
Or otherwise a great weather program and a great currency program that I could install together?
I've been using Worldmate 2005 for a long time which worked really well. I'm just having problems with it in Windows Mobile 6 and I think the new Worldmate is too clunky and slow.

FIZZ Traveller...AWESOME. I used it when I travel internationally and it is great!
Great program, thanks! I hadn't seen this one before. I like the features and Today screen plugin. Wish it had currency changer on the today screen too but otherwise it's awesome.
Is there any problem using spb pocket plus, weather, time, diary and etc.?
Does it affect the performance of the Wizard?
Thanks!

I have them all and use some of them. I have kept Plus and Diary on my MDA and use it daily.
Weather is not accurate. Get SPB Traveler instead of Weather and Time.
I would not buy SPB Finance if you use Quicken 2007 or 2008. It is not compatible with SPB.
SPB Backup is good.
Tried SPB Wallet and it was not an app that I found to be something that I couldn't do with phone contacts or Excel.
Hope this helps.
If you want a Weather app, I would suggest Pocket Weather.
Dear asctony,
Thanks for your reply
I just want to know if these applications cause any conflict in general.
As you mentioned, Weather is not accurate but at lease it's much better than HTC Touch Flo weather plug-in
I have SPB Weather and find it's reasonably accurate in the UK. (Not perfect 2+ days ahead, but to be fair nor are most online weather sites I find.)
I'm also evaluating SPB Phone Suite at the moment, which is useful for adding photo dialling icons to the today screen. It also adds a lot of other phone-related 'fixes', which I must admit I haven't really noticed/used. I will almost certainly buy this, although for $19.95 it's pretty expensive.

I have not incurred any conflicts and I have a lot of apps on my MDA and have had it for 14 months.
If I were to buy SPB Apps today, based on what is available, I would buy:
1. Backup
2. Diary
3. Pocket Plus
4.Traveler (Weather, Time, Conversion, etc., all in one)
SPB Apps are buggy at times and don't seem to be consistant in how they perform. So, again, I have tried them all, and only use Backup, Diary and Pocket Plus.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
Here is the site to obtain more info.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/downloads.html?en
I think the most popular are:- \ My experiences with them:-
SPB backup \ very good and simple, can have problems finding a file to backup, which causes it to fail the automatic soft reset after it backs up (this can be solved with a reg edit)
Weather \ I have used this every day since I bought it, it's the best if you can't use freeware and you can add custom data sources. I currently have data updating issues, maybe due to wm6. (Traveler is possibly better, but a much bigger program, which includes currency rates, clothing sizes, more cities by default and a small clock, but NOT the same functions as spb time)
Time \ It used to be a must have for me except for two reasons, 1 the alarm doesn't work correctly for wm6 and, 2 alarms don't support wma (only mp3)
Diary \ faultless. not the most customizable available (sbsh) or the simplest (today agenda (freeware)) but the best I think
Pocket Plus \ Simply put - not required. It looks nice but I can't think of anything it can do that freeware can't (wm5NewMenu is very good) can't do, so I gave up using it (SBSH's ilauncher is possibly better)
They're a good company for ease of use products, they all look nice and are uncomplicated in general. But, their support can be lacking, and their releases are slow and infrequent, compared to sbsh who often release updates weekly compared to twice a year from spb, and they are not as customizable as even some similar freeware apps.

You are right!
I've been using Time since 20 days and it was great with WM5, but after I flashed WM6 to my phone I noticed some problems.
I was thinking that maybe other ROM version will work fine with the application but failed with different ROMs.
Which software you recommend as best and guaranteed alarm? web address please?
Thanks to all

The web site you recommended is great
Spb backup is great.
I also use Insight every day to keep up on things.
I didn't like the weather app, I use Marsware WeatherPanel....It is very accurate and fast.
Spb Diary -- Could not get through a work-day without it. Rock-solid, no-nonsense app that gets the job done better than a lot of flashier programs.
Spb Pocket Plus -- Essential to the way I work and navigate in WM 5. It adds a few small but but critical tweaks. You may not need it though.
Spb Insight -- If you do a lot of reading on the internet, this is an indispensable app! It will change the way you use the web. Best 20 bucks I've ever dropped on any hardware or software.

I hear ya.
I'll bet there are several better headline/summary/link news readers than Insight, but that's not why I use it. What I like about it is -- I can update complete articles for 20 feeds in a snap on a wireless broadband at home every morning, and read them all day without having to connect to the internet or any cellular service at all.
And they don't need to be RSS/Atom/etc. feeds, either. Half the stuff I download comes from sites that don't even use feeds. Or if they do, I pull stuff that they don't feed.
But not everyone may want or need that.
I use Spb Mobile Shell (top of my Avatar photo) It's weather tab is fairly accurate and tracks with the local forecasts. The photo speed dial tab is nice as is the battery / most recent applications tab. The clock is there, but I don't access the multi time zones much.
As far as performance, I have only run it on the Uni and the Athena, without conflicts or hang-ups. Can't testify to using it first hand on the Wizard.

I download from 20 different feeds daily also. I just counted them to see how much I was downloading from. I also read them during the day without being connect to the Internet or any cellular service using NewsCopier. So, there are commonalities among both apps. The good thing about this thread is that you now can try both of them and even more and make your own decision. Not every app is suited for everyone or anyone user.
asctony -- Thanks! The page didn't seem to mention that. Will definitely follow up on it. Is that version usable on a wizard?
Got it. Thanks again.
I've used them all. The only one I use now and is rock solid is Diary. Phone Suit is VERY buggy. Most of the features only work intermittently. Weather is not nearly as good as WeatherPanel. I could not get Finance to work with MS Money Plus (2007). SPB Shell, Plus, Time, Traveler, and all the rest are too heavy on the PDA resources compared with what they do. The cost benefit analysis leans too far toward cost to justify using them.

I had to switch to the Ozone from the Alltel Palm Treo Pro in order to make a change to my rate plan. Much faster phone than the Treo Pro. There are a few setbacks.
Let's see, what do I have installed?
Microsoft's Bing App
Facebook App
Google Maps
Youtube App
Thinking about Skyfire or Opera Mini
CHome Configuration (can't edit new panels... bummer)
I got my yahoo, gmail, & hotmail accounts synced with no problems.
I'd like to find a new alarm clock. Being able to create new documents would be sweet too.
Good phone. WinMo 6.5 could make it better.

Weather watcher is what I use, you have to use Chome Config to create a custom panel for it if you want the weather on your home screen though

Can you give us new users instructions/link on how setup WW as a panel?
I also tried to use NRG's mini Chome Weather. It works fine on the Ozone, but I can not get it to work with the HTC panels.

I didn't do anything special. Just installed NRG Mini Chome Weather 1.3 + Monitor HTC Version.cab and chose the appropriate Home Screen layout. Awesome app, I love it. Much better than HTCWeather.
My problem is when I try to modify NRG's Home Screen to add the HTC Panels, they simply don't show up. Chome Config shows them as active, just not there. I'm assuming we need an updated version to work with updated HTC Panels on the Ozone.

i ran into the same issue with NRG's weather.
i guess we're just gonna have to wait and see whats produced..
