I always wonder about these Handango awards. I rely on Handango more than anyone else for Pocket PC software but some of their awards always seem to come out of left-field (though selection of PI is always a no-brainer).

I've never considered the 6th version of anything to be a *new* application...maybe it's just me. ;) There have been some great new applications in the past year..........

Handango Awards. Ah, get stuffed. They just tell us what they make most money with... the bible claims you should give a 10th to god... and I don't see why Handango would be value 4 times god

Great point on CodeWallet. I also wonder what makes MobiLearn Talking Phrasebook an "industry" application. I admit. I do have it myself (for German) and it's a wonderful tool as a foreign language assistant, but to go to industry and say this is the best application for the enterprise is just ridiculous!
