I like it and nothing is better then free :D

I'm not sure how to actually enable this. I've got the PocketPlus 3.0 version on my PPC, but I downloaded the trial version of this plugin (because I've got the serial number on my home pc and I'm at work at the moment).

[SHC]

I can't get the icons to show up. On installation it says "wrong folder" but I can't figure out how to install to the "right folder" as I'm installing to the same place as PocketPlus. Oh Well.

[BUMP THAT]

I am still waiting for the SPB Clock Plugin. :D

@SHC are you installing from a CAB or something? Shouldnt the EXE install to the proper place?

In pocket plus, choose "add tab" when you tab and hold in one of pocket plus tab, then choose add plugin "spb folder".

Good luck.

Thanks for your response. Just to check the sequence, I tap and hold the spb icon on the today screen, I then have the Tody Plug-In highlighted and I tap on Feature Options, then I tap on Add and enter a tab name afterwhich the other buttons are enabled APART from 'Plug-In Options' which is still greyed out.

Could you please tell me the correct sequence that you got to work.

Thanks very much for your help.

I've owned and installed all major versions of Pocket Plus, and agree that its one of my must have applications. With version 3.0, I downloaded two of these three plugins. I'm using SPB Folder now (love it), but am unclear what SPB ToPlay does.....it says it controls Windows Media Player 10.....on the pocket PC or desktop? If the PocketPC, that leaves a lot of us out of the loop (as only a few pocketPC models have WMP10), right? Could someone clarify what the ToPlay plug-in does? TIA!

It's only for Wm10. As to WM9 and 8.5, you can use PHM WM plugin, which is tiny and clean.

Thank you for your reply. So it is for control of WMP10 on the PocketPC (not desktop), correct? If so, only the lucky few whose Pocket PC's have WMP10 can use this, correct?

[Golfer]

Are you suppose to download the 15day trial version even if you have a registered copy of PocketPlus?

[Golfer]

Sorry, I just realised that the weather plugin is not one of the free plugins.

Yes, it's for the Pocket PC. It actually works independently of WMP10 Mobile, so you won't need to have the Windows Media application running for Spb ToPlay to function in its entirety.

Indeed. Most of the extended tab functionality (e.g. weather support, traffic support, finance support, etc.) is provided with the other primary Spb applications such as Spb Weather, Spb GPRS Monitor, Spb Finance and so on.
