I've been using On Demand for about a year with my 700wx. Definately a must have app as it makes checking weather, stocks, and movie times insanely quick and painless.

I know it costs and I could get all the info in other ways, but I personally like having it all in one place that is easy to nav.
My statement was just a personal preference. I use LiveSearch (alot less with the crappy ROM update), an RSS reader, WeatherPanel, and PIE to get most of the info in On Demand for free.

Like I said, it's just my personal preference. I was a very heavy user of On Demand back when it was Pocket Express (come to think of it, that was the first PPC program I purchased), but have come to embrace the "free" way in recent years.
