Those shortcuts are located in your /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder.

mmm. i am always hungry, and this looks delicious, but i am not in the mood for something bittersweet right now. maybe their next batch will be tastier.

For those saying you can't close apps with this all you have to do is click the title of the app up top. The menu pops up and Force Quit is the first option. I don't think they put that in the help video, though. Some apps don't close, however, particularly Phone.

Its really ugly, not customizable (for appearance), and hijacks your phone the way AOL used to hijack your desktop pc.

Lets hope Bill Gates has a better plan than this crapola. I just hope MS doesnt get wrapped up in the hoopla of the i-friggin-phone interface.

Comparing a loaded pocket pc like the Mogul to an i-f-phone is like comparing a calculator to excel

I think its pretty nice! I mean, as always, it is not a complete shell replacement so it still feels funny because its really just an overlay over Windows Mobile. But this is pretty cool! IMO this is what it needs:

1. Custom Wallpaper and Collor Theme (just because)
2. The middle part where the weather, tasks, clocks are, should be able to display today plugins (also should be able to have more than one plugin per "slide") Almost like a pocket plus but with slides instead of tabs
3. #2 would solve this. It needs a better app launcher. or an App Launcher "slide"

That would pretty much make it usable by anyone, it would become a Top Bar and Today screen replacement.

And then after that, if they are really abitious over there, they should have the app take over email and sms and also include a phone dialer.

its pretty decent actually...few tweaks here and there tho, overall i like it

Just tried it out, froze up on me and I couldn't exit it because it took over my phone and I couldn't access any other programs to terminate it.

Overall it seems polished for what is there, but at the same time there is a lot of stuff lacking (like customization.. and I'm not talking complete overhall, just something as simple as changing some options of the way it operates)

Trying to uninstall it now, will probably watch this to see if improvements are made.

edit: also the scrolling is not intuitive and none of my hardware buttons work when inside the app which really defeats the purpose of having something like this

anyone know how to make pointui reference pocket informant's calendar rather than the built in wm5 calendar app on the ppc6700? is there are regedit i can do?
thanks!

"My left softkey is now set to this "home" program, and I think I'll have to get a registry fix to fix it.

For an easy softkey fix download the softkey changer program. It allows an easy means to select any program for each of the softkeys and for those of you not using Vijays togglebaralpha (to remove the lower bar from the today screen), it also allows changing the text of each button to correspond to the program selected.
