I have it on my Titan, and use it in conjunction with s2U2. Works great, wish it had a little more options for customization. I think that this application (Pointui) would be more suited to the touch than the titan (yes I know that this is in the touch forum), mainly because the hard buttons add a lot of the shortcuts. Also think that Pointui would be good for a first time PDA /PPC user.

I have been using Pointui for a few weeks now on my Apache(WM6). The latest version 1.02b was released today. I think it's great not perfect, yet, still not customizable enough but getting there. I've also used s2u2 for months. It can be used with Pointui but I've been using Pointui's lock program for a few days and will decide soon which I'll use permanently.

i stopped using it, it got really boring and one sided to me. Def was easy to use, but sometimes it ran great, other times ran like straight crap

Nice just downloaded the update, fixes some issues with the bar interfering with task managers such as wisbar. And is very annoying that I have to copy the registry keys for customization from one version to the next.

EDIT: Tried to set Pointui to turn on when the device wakes up but it wont.

i like pointui alot becuz of the way it shows upcoming events. it runs perfect for me but if u have flo touch on your ppc you might end up opening some unwanted programs... thats my only problem

i wish the PointUI had the S2U2 lock feature

i like S2U2 alot, but rather just use a built in lock system if it was closer to what S2U2 does regarding random screen wake ups

You can make S2U2 be the locking application, just add this key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Pointui\Pointui.Home\1.02b

Create a new String value key of
Name
App.Path.Lockscreen
String
\program files\S2Us\S2U2.exe

The 1.02b part will vary depending on the version installed

looks like the new version of PointUI that was released today added features of S2U2

Today's version is also available in a black theme. I am using it now after trying it out a month ago and deleting it. Today's release is much better!
