Clinton Fitch Reviews Spb Pocket Plus 2.5
"Spb Software House is one of the leading developers in the Windows Mobile arena and Spb Pocket Plus proves it. The application is well designed and behaved and functions exceptionally well. Additionally, their support is responsive and accurate with many additional FAQ’s online for each of their products. Spb Software House makes great products but is also great to work with personally." Clinton Fitch has just put together another review - this time, it's on the latest version of Spb Pocket Plus. If you're still undecided about purchasing Pocket Plus, then perhaps this review will help shape your decision. If you're interested, the Pocket PC Thoughts Store has a trial version on offer and is also selling it for $19.95. Subscribers get the usual 15% discount.

That's surprising. I've experienced absolutely no loss in power or speed. This and DinarSoft's MemMaid are unquestionably the two most useful pieces of software on my machine.

Just out of interest, how much free memory did you have? |

I have a lot of problem with this release: i have to soft reset my loox720 at every use of the software, even if i only open the setting. I know about more problems on hx4700 after the installation: HARD RESET :devilboy:
Bad experience, the same that i had with pocketplus2.0 and iPAQ2210...i hope in better results on my loved Loox_720 0X
Best regards frome Rome

Same thing happened to me (Loox 720). I got trapped in the settings window of pocketplus. I had to soft reset about 7 times. I still use it however, just without trying to enter the settings window. Ive installed it over pocketplus 2.2. Maybe that's why. Irritating though.

This used to be one of my favorite apps, but since 2.0, it has not run correctly on my Axim X5 Advanced. Starting with 2.0, as soon as I tried to setup tabs, they disappeared and would not come back. This release has all of the icons shoved up under the menu bar so only the bottom of the icons show. I have been e-mailing their support since the middle of last year, with no resolution so far. As long as I do not use it as a Today plug-in, the rest of its functions work correctly.
I have Dell's 2003 upgrade installed and other applications like Battery Pack Pro work just fine.
