Default Task Manager & Close

I'm looking for a simple, small task switcher with true program closing. I don't want anything fancy with alot of options. What stable PPC 2002 program would you recommend? Thank you.

I like to use Pocket Nav. It is a small and free program switcher.

There are a couple of freeware utilities, including PocketNav as previously mentioned, and vBar. There's one more that I can't remember.

Commercially, in my opinion the best one out there is Pocket Plus. It's worked better than the rest for me, and I like how it integrates into the X without adding any additional UI controls.

Get the 1.1.0 Final... Some people are having issues with the 1.2 beta 4. But 1.1.0 works great.

I have had no problem with PocketNAV except that somtimes the "OK" button does not show. It's realy not a problem because if you tap the spot where the "Ok" should be it does the same thing.

I like the one that came with my Dell called Switcher Bar, I don't know if you can dl it from anywhere though. I use Pocket Plus also but just to make the X close programs, and to add some program shortcuts to the today screen.

Pocket Plus is definitely a winner. Its developed from Spb, the same software company Jason Dunn works for

I wonder if it would be possible to have someone send the Dell Switcher bar to someone using a non-Axim. Someone should try it. It would technically be a free task-manager.
