I know the question does come up now and again in the forum, though at the price SFR are quoting ($19.95), I'm not sure it's worth it. There's a 14-day trial, anybody game to give this a try and tell everybody else how well it works?

It was sold for 5 euros a week ago (see this (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=53537)). For that money, it would have been a bargain.

For the current price, well, I don't know. There are certainly better remote media controllers at this proce segment. I'll publish an article / roundup on ALL these questions really soon; based on it, you'll be able to decide whether it's worth going for this title or not.

I have never seen this one, but I use PlayerPal to control itunes remotely. It works great, both from my PSP or any handheld.

Menneisyys: can you give me a list of some programs that do similar things to this?
im looking for one that is true-vga compatible and that i can browse by folder (not id3 tags).

thanks

I use Salling Clicker. The software runs on both Mac and PC over Bluetooth and WiFi.

Windows Mobile 5 devices, older Nokia S60 phones, the new Sony Ericsson W900i, and Cingular-branded Sony Ericsson Z520a and W600i phones. It also supports Palm.

It also does more than just connecting to iTunes and Windows Media Player.

I don't think you will find ANY software for Pocket PC with
this easy-to-use interface and functionality: Keeping our eyes
on the primary topic of "remote management of your music library" :-)

1-2-Remote is designed from scratch for this issue and provides
nearly unique performance even on large music libraries.

There may be many other remote controls, that can control
more applications but only deliver basic remote functionality
and a passable user interface.

Rudeo, Zerama Remote, Kiwisrus Pocket Media Control etc. 1-2-Remote indeed looks prettier than most these titles on VGA devices and has some advantages over them (for example, the lower CPU usage when there's no title scrolling).

I'll elaborate on all thee q's in the forthcoming article.
