Point d goes without saying, and is probably the single largest complaint I have with Windows Mobile. Point c is an interesting one. Aside from PIE (Which is at least fairly functional for what I use it for), I hadn't thought that the other apps were particularly bad. However if you compare Pocket Excel with Planmaker you quickly see disparities. Caywen - what do you think needs to be done with the other apps? More functionality or just better formatting (e.g. looks)? I'm not saying they couldn't use work, I just hadn't thought about what work to do.
