Default Pocket PC - Task Manager PPC

The Pocket PC 2003 is a great tool for many
things beyond basic PDA functionality. It is a true computer with surprising
speed and capabilities, the limits of which are confined only to the
imaginations of software developers and end users. As Windows developers, as
well as users, we were surprised that there was no Task Manager program
included with the operating system. So we decided to create one. Task
Manager PPC was developed with two purposes in mind. The first was to
provide users with the capability of viewing running applications and
processes with a friendly user interface. The second was to provide
developers with a means to view current running state details for any
process. To accomplish these goals, Task Manager PPC uses two tabbed
windows.

There are many free alternatives to this type of concept.

PHM (www.phm.lu) has a task manager available for free...

And a variety of other plugins that sit on the command bar or task bar also do the job - e.g. Pocket Plus, etc.

Is it just me, or does $20 seem a little steep?

It seems quite steep considering the competition for the same type of app.

What does this app do that a free alternative does not?

$20 is steep, and so if you're not the kind of person with $$$ stuffed into your pockets, I'd go for the free alternatives...as I suggested before. :wink:
