Overpriced IMHO. Should be in the $10-$15 range. All in all its an interesting app/e-book however, as far as I can tell, its more useful for newbies. Those of us for whom the Pocket PC has been our pocket companion for 4 years this stuff is pretty common knowledge. Of course YMMV.

Hey! Each one of my tips is worth their weight in gold! Ok, maybe pewter. Or tin. But VERY PURE tin. It was actually a lot of fun to write, and I tried to include quite a few screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

Here's the table of contents (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/tipsandtricks/contents.html?en) to give an idea of what's included in the package.

I think the advantage of a program like this is that it distills some of the collective knowledge of a number of enthusiast sites and puts it all in one easily accessible, always available place, in an FAQ-like format. Pretty handy, if you ask me. :wink:

Note: And all tips and tricks come packaged with a touch of Pat's sense of humour. :)

IMHO the topics look good, downloaded the trial, but it shows nothing, so you may just avoid that and look at the TOC and consider that your trial.

Priced a little high for a "risk" book, meaning no history, not tried and true and certainly not enough of a sample to take the plunge. Maybe for 10.00 but for 20, it seems better to just skip it.

Sorry guys, nothing personal..

No worries. My understanding (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/tipsandtricks/faq.html?en) was that there was to be 1 tip/trick per topic available with the demo version. Nothing was clickable in your version?
