http://www.soti.net/bot.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCEnt
Some of you are already familiar with Pocket Controller, one of my favorite Pocket PC applications. Soft Objects Technologies has now released a new version of its Pocket Controller-Enterprise.

"Pocket Controller-Enterprise allows organizations to remotely manage and support mobile devices from a central location.

A five devices license is currently $99.99, a 20% discount from normal pricing.

Remotely Backup?
So.....can I remotely backup PPC's with this too? I'm surprised that isn't listed - or does connectivity thru ActiveSync imply backup availability?

Only 6 months upgrade service
This has to be one of the worst upgrade policies around. Soti comes out with frequent upgrades, but only provides a 15% purchase discount after 6 months use of the product. To make it even more painful, there is no warning when the upgrade is installed. The upgrade procedure lets it upgrade fine on the pocket pc. But when you try to use it, it then tells you the license is expired on the desktop version, and the handheld won't execute because it is a different version than the desktop. It's a great product but paying $40 a year to keep up to date is very frustrating.
