So when does Sound Explorer got WM5? I'm still doing Pocket Player with the 30 day free trial. If it goes beyond that I will have to purchase it 8O
Well at least they are on the right track....

I'd like to see a PPCPE Edition of this program.

Neither Vito nor Handango have updated their sites. Though they both say WM5 compatible, the version available for download has not changed since August. Which makes me wonder: are they really issuing an upgrade (which would mean that both the manufacturor and Handango have yet to update their websites) or are they just issuing a press release to remind everyone that their product exists? The old version was/is compatible with WM5 up to a point (so far as I used it, which was only briefly after upgrading on my X50v). It would allow two bindings per button. It simply does not know anything about softkeys, which, I would think, would be the very point of making the program WM5 compatible.

If ever Vito does release a *real* new version that allows for Softkeys, and thus is actually WM5 compatible, I'll be all over it.

yep.
Has anyone actually tried it yet? on a wm5 device?

I want to know whether it will allow the hardware softkeys in WM 5 to be re-mapped and used this way...

Dissapointed in this product. Perhaps it doesn't run in built in storage. My X30 is locking up left and right and the button configuration works, but no macros seem to work. Hmmmm
