Twenty-Five Dollars

[dmacburry2003]

I am allowing myself twenty-five dollars to purchase an app at Handango.

But... There is so much to choose from I don't know what to pick! So, I am asking you, the users of PocketPCThoughts, what I should buy.

Please help. My guidelines are:

1. NO PIM'S
2. Something that could greatly increase functionality (ex. Word, Excel)
3. Something I could use often
4. Something... Good in quality

I was thinking about PDAmill's Snails game :idea:

So, tell me what you think.

Well, if you aren't locked in to Handango, check out the sale on Handmark games. My personal favorite: Warfare Incorporated ($22.49). Great RTS game for the Pocket PC.

So, tell me what you think.
If you travel a lot, I'd suggest Trip Tracker. It's trip planning software, but I don't know if you would categorize that as too much like a PIM.

Otherwise, I've enjoyed Pocket 64 quite a bit if emulation is to your tastes.

How about one of these?

ListPro
Repligo
FlexWallet/EWallet/CodeWallet

[dmacburry2003]

OH YEAH!! That's right, 25% off!

Still looking though...

Edit: I like Monopoly, but I have an NES Emulator that has that free.

[dmacburry2003]

The 1935 came with a trial of HWallet, I think. I'll try it out and see if I like.


Edit: ListPro too, I believe.

A recent discussion on ListPro (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23455&highlight=listpro) :wink:

How about any PowerPoint editors? Does anyone know about any of those?

(Still trying ListPro. ActiveSync does not want to play nice with Longhorn)

Conduit's Pocket Slides. (http://www.conduits.com/products/slides/)

Not sure about being able to buy it at Hangango though.

Edit: Yes, it is available at Handango, but a little out of your price range. Here is the link. (http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?productType=2&jid=99BDDEDXFAB5BX7C2B8275XAADDD4782&platformId=2&siteId=1&productId=24595&sectionId=0&catalog=1&authorId=31405)

:( :cry:

[dmacburry2003]

Thanks all, I am going to get Snails AND ListPro.

[ale2999]

man u should get morphgear, as old console games are not too expensive and then u can "extract" the roms from them

[baker]

Well, this doesn't fit your requirements, but you might want to consider Sprite's Pocket Backup.

[dmacburry2003]

I don't have any ROMs to extract...

Sprite was looking nice in the other forums... I am probably going to buy that in the future.


Thanks again :D

I really like Age of Empires and Sim City 2000 - I have both full versions and they are excellent!

[dmacburry2003]

I have SimCity 2000 also, but I can't use audio on it due to my slow 1935.

at Handango? nothing.

everything worthwhile is available from alternative sources. Why give any money to a company that thinks so little of its customers, and treats manure with more respect?

You have personal experience of Handango's "manure policy"? :wink:

I have to say I've had no bad experiences with Handango, to date, in the same way I've had no bad experiences with my Sandisk SD card. I wish people would limit their ranting to quoting personal experiences, or at the very least to reference an existing thread where both sides of the argument can be offered.

Thanks :)
