It's number 6. 8O And it only dropped because Handango changed how it determined the top sellers...it's no longer done per-sale, but rather per-dollar.

So they need every good idea they can to get exposures... and more sales again...
Sales are not a problem with Spb. Head over to Handango and you will see they are still #6 (as OSUKid7 has mentioned).

If Company X has 100 sales of a $1 product, while Company Y has 20 sales of a $20 product, Company Y will be ahead in the rankings since Handango have supposedly modified their ranking system to focus more on revenue as opposed to sales.

Well using complex math I would say that #6 is still in the top 10.

I could be wrong though :roll:

Exactly! Being in the top 10 is a milestone to say the least.

I think they're doing just fine at the moment.

First I said " (unless it's changed back recently)."

Second if you "head over to Handango" as Darius Wey says and click this link: All titles by All Best Selling Windows Mobile™ Pocket PC you'll find SPB Pocket Plus nowhere.

Now I just checked the list from PPCT and I'm amazed to see it's in the 6th position. Why is it different between PPCT and Handango? On this site it doesn't say "Pocket PC Thoughts best sales list" or the like it says "Top Pocket PC software".

All in all most Handango visitors and possibly visitors of most or many sites with software shops powered by them would neither see that program in the top 10 nor the top 20 lists.

Our Top 10 list is correct - according to the URL you were using, you had it hard-coded to only show Axim X5 software. For some unknown reason, Spb Software has Pocket Plus as not being compatible with the X5, hence in your Handango view it was being parsed out.
