Best PPC APP Available?

I'd like to get some get responses on this...

What is the best PPC APP (free or not) out there in your opinion? If you inclined to do so, please explain why.

For me, it has to be SPB Pocket Plus

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en

Current verision is 4.0
Cost is $29.95, unless you upgrade from 3.0, then $14.95 (BS)

There are applications with more specific functions (GPS, Music, etc.) but, IMO, this product brings it all together. This includes everything from scrolling contacts & scrolling in PIE (which can have multiple tabs), a highly customizable today screen plug-in with the ability for other SPB & Non-SPB software plug-ins, to basic items like X-button, and multiple battery display options. True, I use many other programs, but this is the 1st thing I always install, along with all of my Icon sets from here...

(Props once again to the stoned poster, Jayweezie, apache, ridolfo, and others)

Not only does this app optimize the way the device SHOULD work, but the customization level is ILauncheresque, but more practical. Let's be honest, we all care how our set-up looks or we wouldn't participate in the screenshot thread, but it's also about functionality. I have had PPCs for years, and I haven't found anything that blends everything together better than SPB PP4.

And no, I'm happy w/my current employment, not seeking position w/SPB.

Here are some screenshots of my set-up, icons courtesy of above SPB club link.

Side note: My set-up may look basic, but believe when I say that I have sampled everything available. My opinion is not based on lack of exposure other software or customizations. I just find that this set-up is a nice mix of style, functionality, and device performance.

My vote goes for eMule.

Only because all of the software that is discussed on ppcgeeks is available on eMule.

I say Resco Explorer
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp

If anything it should be pre-installed on every PPC available.
Why you ask?
Compare any file explorer to this one & you'll find you answer, its simply everything you could ever want in one File Explorer.

I must have some bad PPC karma...I loved this app, but I was one of the people who would consistently miss texts altogether and occasionally it would not send messages, although it displayed that it sent in the chat window. On multiple occasions, I would receive a text with the program installed and it would be filed in the default text inbox, which I had to remove cody's program to access.

Too many problems..Bummer too, I really liked it...Especially since I receive about 20-30 text daily with News, Sports, weather, etc. It's nice to have those in a threaded window, as oppose to the default set up.

I've never heard this...specifically, the flight mode suggestion. I might give it a shot. Thanks.

hey OVENDOOR i agree, its tough to be a fan of the pacers right now...damn Tinsley i hate him with a passion...i love ur set up tho...

now back to the topic...i think the LIVESEARCH is the best thing since slicedbread...i travel alot and that thing comes in handy, not just in other cities but right here in Naptown aswell...it sometimes has things like phone numbers and stuff that my TOMTOM does not...but to keep it fair i havent experimented with some of the apps listed in some of these others posts, so maybe ima little biased
