Just glanced at the Top Pocket PC Software list on the PPCT homepage, and saw this:

Yeah, PDA Contract (http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&javaDevice=BlackBerry%207780&jid=1D71FE3DXC6FE992XB43BAXC2XC34322&platformId=2&productType=2&catalog=0&sectionId=0&productId=141687) as number one? Hmm...I think something's malfunctioning in either the PPCT or Handango code. One download of it so far, and it costs one cent? Interesting. :worried: It doesn't look very useful, although I guess for one cent I can't complain. :lol:

I'd like to see if a contract made with this would stand up in court :)

The price has magically skyrocketed to $14.99. :pimp:

I guess at $0.01, the offer was too good to ignore, even if the software was of no personal benefit to you. :P

Perhaps it's still stored in your cache. Try refreshing it.

This is what I see:

And this time, there's 2 downloads. :multi: <-- It's hot stuff!

OK, now I'm really confused...it's still saying $0.01 for me, and I've refreshed many times. Here's a screenshot of it in both Firefox, and IE (which I almost never use...never opened that page in IE before :| ).

Hmm...and now that I click that screenshot link, I get the following error. Yet once it displayed it correctly, but usually it displays the following:

It still shows $0.01 cents for me as well.

Hmmm...now it says $0.01 for me too. It's back to 1 download as well.

:bangin: Either I haven't completely woken up yet, or I can happily shift the blame on Halloween. :devilboy:

So either one person got their money's worth or 2 people got ripped off.

Who knows?

One download and one cent here. And this is the first time I've ever clicked that title so it ain't cached.

Just checked again, it's $14.99 for me, with 31 downloads. Still at the top of the Top Pocket PC Software list though. :? Hmmm.

some one has bought 1000s of it when it was 0.01 to make it on top.

Very possible. Perhaps the developer himself priced it at 1 cent and then bought copies to hit the charts? (I'm surprised Handango allows such cheap prices -- either make it free, or at least $1 or something.)

In any case, it's no longer on the top. ;)
