"Hmm... maybe if I make /enough/ of my small apps... and package them together... I could sell them."
Then again I could be wrong since I've never used any of them, but judging from the screenshots and program titles... $30 for what looks to be a bunch of beginniner programming experiments in VB? Thunderstorm range? Give me a break. $10, $15 max. Some of the programs look good... like the ruler app and such if you don't know how or just don't want to make it yourself. "$29,99. That's a saving of more than $80,00!" Talk about an ego. :?

I also don't care for them using the title "Kai's Pocket PC Tools"... sounds too close to the much known and loved "Kai Power Tools". :?

Rirath!
So much anger? Looks good enough to at least check out, IMHO. :)

Dude, the guy's name is Kai... :roll:

For what he is bundling together, I don't think this is a bad deal at all. Granted, I might not use all of the apps, but he does seem to have some good ones there (I would probably purchase the seperately, though)...

lol... it's been a while since I last saw the beans page. It's funny tho because this guy has copyrighted so many words. Candle, Curling, Operation .. and millions more words are now copyrighted.

Bit misleading, I thought this was THE Kai, from Kai's Power Goo fame. But sadly, it's not.. some of these programs DO look like 5 minute VB jobs though.

Yeah, I know the guy's name is Kai. But still, see above in how easy it is. I bet he won't mind if it fools a few people.

As for the price... that's my point. You could buy the few best apps from the pack for under $15. So why not just charge $15 and throw in some freebies?

[farnold]

Rirath,

what amount do you wanna bet, mate? This guy uses the name Kaisoft for about 10 years now writing and selling programs for PC and PocketPC. And yes - his name is Kai... I think it's quite unfair to say he would try to willingly fool others. Hey, and maybe better to have a look at what you get for your money :D

I'd think it's worthwhile looking at the content of this box. Kai's Tools are a good set or programs. Most of them are simple tools for easy tasks and are quite helpful for things you do pretty often. I bought a single PocketPC program for the same price or even a higher one and don't use it as intensive as some of the programs of this collection.

Just one thing - the Access Manager - gives you a great tool to maintain databases of your PocketPC and makes this a valuable purchase. And other like this neat NanoCalc are great add-ons. Besides those I use OutlookCleaner, ClockTimeZone, TurnOff and some others... they all do what they're supposed to do. Yep, some programs I don't use at all, but I don't mind a box of almost 30 programs to have only 10 amongst them that are usefull for me. It's still way cheaper then getting them seperately. Thumbs up!

[Jonathon Watkins]

Well.... I have to agree with Rirath - I thought it was Kai's power tools for the PPC at first as well.......... It's obiously not though. :wink:

[yawanag]

Guess I have to come to Kai's defense since after downloading "Seven Days" and telling hime some features I wanted to see all in one program. He has incorporated some of those same features that I asked for.

The thing I like about the program is that you don't have to go out of it for the calendar, tasks, appts.the clock, inbox, etc. You can even close out of windows. All of the other programs didn't have where I could view my appts. and tasks on the same screen.

I agree that you probably wouldn't use all in the bundle. I'd prefer individually.

[Jason Dunn]

Gentlemen, if you don't like what he has to offer, don't buy it - but don't criticize him for creating and selling his work. :D

[Jonathon Watkins]

I'm not criticize him - just mentioning that I initially thought that that this SW was created by someone else.

[Rirath]

I am, for the price. Lower it and I'd be a happy fella. As much as ever anyhow.
