I also notice that whenever I launch PointUI, it activates my Bluetooth for some reason. Can't seem to get it not to do this. Anyone else?

Edit:

I did end up getting it to work, but it still insists on opening the Outlook account by default, even though my message was in the Hotmail account. Not very intuitive really...Just not worth the effort AFAIC. That and the Bluetooth thing. I noticed now when I went to install PointUI again to see if I could get the messaging to work this last time, when installing, it also asked me where I wanted to install the program to and listed three items this time instead of the normal Device or Storage Card. Now it lists Bluetooth as an installation destination option? Anyone know why it would do this? Did this PointUI thing screw up my phone? I've never seen Bluetooth as an installation destination option before.

Thanks heaps for this. I have up until now being using MS 2.1 but this now beats it has down.

Why?

1) With the reg edits I can launch any app I want. Awesome
2) When I want to get into the nitty gritty of stuff. I can close it. (Completely not like MS that stays in my memory)
3) Simple interface for using phone. When I want to do more again I can just close it.
4) This version is alot more stable than earlier ones.
5) Custimization is on the way.

This was just posted to help speed up some of the lag when opening contacts and tasks and appointments.
It pretty much cut the time to open those apps in half.

This UI (although not perfect) has really enhanced my user experience with my Touch.

Did anyone notice if they fixed the Uninstall feature?

I'm using the CDMA HTC Touch (XV6900) and this thing drains my battery like no tomorrow just like Spb Mobile Shell. Has anyone found a solution for this? I barely used my phone and kept it in sleep mode most of the day and I'm down to 30% after only having it off the charger maybe ten hours! With Spb Mobile Shell it dropped at similar speeds. With neither program installed it was at about 70% after ten hours. Compare 30% to 70%, huge difference!

I absolutely love PointUI most and can't imagine going back to the default interface...does anyone have any ideas?!

They have done a great job on this app. I havebeen using it since January when I first stummpled upon it. They sure have come a long way. It was frezzing my Mogul in the early stages so I gave it up fot spb shell. I downloaded the newest version about two weeks ago. No freeze ups at all I have removed my SPB shell from my phone. I never have to put up with the today screen again. I put my pointui in the start up folder>
