Default Animated Today 2002

http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&platformId=2&productType=2&catalog=0&sectionId=0&productId=28456

Animated Today 2002 is finally here! There's a review of the software worth reading as well. Come and get it!



"Animated Today 2002! Take your Pocket PC 2002 device to the next level with fully animated and dynamic Today screens. Animated Today 2002 (AT2002) is a revolutionary new application for the Pocket PC which transforms the Today screen into a gateway for rich, interactive applications and animations. These can take the form of standalone packages or internet enabled applications which can be fed realtime data (on Internet connected devices). AT2002 opens the door to thousands of rich media Macromedia Flash applications and allows developers unbridled creativity for Today skin design. Imagine running virtual pets, games, animated stock tickers and whole host of other great applications on the Today screen. Before you install any of the themes below you must first get Animated Today."

You can buy Animated Today for $19.99 from Handango (affiliate link).

There's a "trial" of sorts here:

http://www.gigabytesol.com/at2002.htm#

But it's more like a walkthrough...

You can see examples here:

Because it's Flash, what you're seeing in your web browser is pretty much what you'll be getting on your Pocket PC, so...

Very cool. Have to wait until a flash animation hits my fancy though. None of the ones at the site (except the lava lamp) suits my fancy. I simply don't have the time to develop my own (yet). Perhaps when WinCustomize starts hosting themes for this device I'll plunk down the $$ for this.

Well, I bought the AT app and the boat and train packs from Handango.
The first problem I had is that there was some problem on the Handango site that prevented the boat pack from downloading, but the other pack and the main app downloaded and installed with no problems.

I think it looks pretty cool, but it slows down the active sync process, and I got error messages when I tried to install another app, and even when I tried to copy a file from desktop to iPAQ. When I disabled AT, I could then do the install and file copy....not very convenient.

Whoodeefrickendo!!!

Just something to eat away battery life on already power-strapped PocketPC's.

Is America really THAT bored that you must have swimming fishies and choo choo trains blasting along on your Today screen??? If I need to view flash (which is rarely), I use FlashBrowser.

the world is pretty much that bored, hence the multi-BILLION dollar phone background and ringtone industry.

Lets hope this is one of those things that start out "really bad" but get better. :roll:

I think this program looks pretty cool, but I have the same problem as dma1965, no demo, no sale...I know the animations will look similar to the ones on the PC but I want to see how this affects performance and battery life before purchasing it. Plus I would like to see more theme packs that interest me.
