I think for me the biggest factor is knowing about it. There is *so* much great software out there, prices are so reasonable. The only obstacle is that I really don't know about what *is* out there.

I take every chance I can get to learn about new products and for me that's the biggest factor. Once I know about it I can then decide if it fits my needs or not.

I know that seems like a stupid answer but there's not a good, comprehensive list of all the major titles out there by application category. If there was I'd own more software as it would be easier for me to browse and find what I need. In a lot of cases I see a product online somewhere and realize immediately that it meets a need I wasn't aware I had until I actually saw the product.

If someone could organize a comprehensive list that was well organized and sortable by vendor, application (business, finance, contacts, dialers, games, expenses, etc...), price, device, popularity, etc... it would greatly benefit all software vendors.

[silver99]

The biggest factor for me to purchase software for my Pocket PC would be:

Can I communicate with other users with the software?

[dannyoneill]

most important factor: That its well designed and tested. If the interface isnt using the standard windows mobile dialogs, buttons etc I dont touch it. Why change it? Its a whole new thing to learn and get used to. Leave it alone I say.

Also make sure its tested and intuative. A few programs have been translated from their writers native language but only ran through a translator, get a native speaker to check it over.

[nitestrike]

I have to say I agree with all of the posts so far.

But my single biggest item that factors into if I buy it is if I'm able to try it out. If I can't give it a spin on the devices I have then it is a no go for me. It is no where near the norm with PocketPC/Windows Mobile software, but lately I have had this show up a few times and not even given the app a second thought.

EDIT
I want to make sure that it fits my needs and that my device performs as needed with it on there.

[sub_tex]

For me it's answering "yes" to the question "does this give me something/functionality that I *really* need, and is it priced reasonably.

[Peter Traugot]

The single most important factor that influences my decision to purchase software for my Pocket PC is the convenience of portability. Although I have a stand-alone Pocket PC (No integrated phone), I find that by tethering to my Blue tooth phone, along with the WIFI capabilities of my device, I have all of the essential connectivity I need.

Having software on my Pocket PC that enables me to exploit this connectivity is not only convenient, but frees me to do a significant amount of work outside of the office. Living in the Bay Area (SF), that is a great perk!

Since many of my colleagues live and work in Europe and the Ukraine, IM is THE definitive communication method. With my PDA, that means I can work anywhere! :D

[starstreak]

Single most important reason to purchase software?

To get something I can use on my pocketpc that I couldn't get any other way. Not to mention, everybody deserves to get paid for something that sell.

[burtcom]

Quite simply, does the software do something I need better than any other software?

[klanum]

What is the single most important factor that influences your decision to purchase software for your Pocket PC?

First is the ability to trial and followed very, very closely with reviews of people talking about their experience/uses of the software in their daily lives.

[ntractv]

For me:

Applicable for what I need and ease of use.

[mr_yellow]

Single biggest factor in purchasing software?

It's integration with the native OS/Ease of use. I'd rather pay more for really slick software than pay less for a hard to use, ugly equivalent.

[rzanology]

support. seems to be a lack on the ppc realm. who do i turn to when i find bugs? when things dont work as well as they should? who to i jot a note too on features i think should be implimented? support support support!

[applestar]

Its the price.

If its below $10 i do not even think a lot about it. Everything above 10 USD gets a more detailed consideration...

[tnels!]

ROI

(That is Return on Investment for all you people in Rio Linda! :wink: )

[drqandil]

The main reason is:
The application must either make my life easier, or make it more fun

[vbguru613]

Deffinately something that will save me time for example a Stock ticker on my today screen for multiple quotes.

[bigray327]

For me, it's price vs. feature set. There's usually a free alternative that gets the job done, so to pay money, the software would have to offer something useful. As a close second, its integration with WM6 is very important to me. As a Mogul user, it seems nothing works well with the pathetic amount of RAM, so it would have to be small and streamlined.

[phreaker18]

What the single most important factor that influences my decision to purchase software for my pocket PC ?

i would say its utility and proportionality of resource/ memory usage !!

[paschott]

I'd have to agree with some of the above:

#1 - Real people using the software regularly, liking it, and there also being a genuine need for me to own it.

#2 - Trial available

#3 - Price


As an example, there's VPN software available for WM devices - really useful, trial available, but the price is a killer for me @ $100/copy and something my company likely won't buy.

Alternatively, various software from some companies (Pocket Informant, SPB, to name a couple) meets all of the above. Still, #1 is probably the most influential of all. If real people have the software and hate it or it doesn't meet a (real, not perceived or ad-induced) need in my life, then I am not likely to buy it.

-Pete

[oruvail]

The most important influencing factor is: whether the software is of sufficient quality that I am actually going to use it past the first couple of days.

[sweb3028]

I believe it has to be ease of use. If I can't try it before I buy it, then I usually don't consider it.

[figers]

I choose software that lets me leave my laptop at home...

[thibault]

it's connection capabilities :

- wifi, hsdpa, hsupa, umts, gsm, edge, bluetooth and how they can be consistently used
(ie enough CPU power to be able to feel the difference between an HSDPA connection and a gprs edge connection).

the choice for me is between pocket pc s that have a physical keyboard

[1747431]

I look at is there trial version available to check functionality

[brained]

The single most important factor for me when decided to purchase software is usability. Will I get my money's worth with the application and will it integrate itself into my life to the point that I cannot imagine it being absent.

[SpencerAR]

In my case - it's a two part answer (as mentioned by others here):

1) Is there a useable demo of the application for me to try out to see if I like the software?

2) The VALUE of the software has to be sufficient for me to buy it - meaning, are all of the features/abilities of the software personally worth what I would have to spend to get it?

If the answer to both questions is "YES" - then it's mine! :wink:

Spencer

[fahim]

The value!

I've never bought an non-educational application in my life. I never thought there was a need to buy it since there is usually an free alternative. The great part about this giveaway is that it can do AIM. Which I can't find a free alternative for.

[moko]

he most important influencing factor for me is: Do I really need the software.

[CorranQ]

Single most important factor:

Actually, I'd have to combine two into one - it has to be an extremely useful piece of software for me that has been well programmed (in other words, it has to pass my tests during trials, sort of like a beta, without crashing almost at all or preferably never), and the price has to mirror just how much it does with the effort that was put into it. All of this for me means "quality" as a factor.

[del1313]

The single biggest factor for me is developer support. I want to know that if I have a problem that I can't find a solution to on their support site, or on the forums, that the developer will respond to my questions and try to help me the best they can. This is why I love WebIS and SPB.

[Sogarth]

But my single biggest item that factors into if I buy it is if I'm able to try it out. If I can't give it a spin on the devices I have then it is a no go for me. It is no where near the norm with PocketPC/Windows Mobile software, but lately I have had this show up a few times and not even given the app a second thought.

EDIT
I want to make sure that it fits my needs and that my device performs as needed with it on there.
Agreed. If it's something that I'm considering buying, I want to give it a try to see whether or not it works for me. I've tried some software out there, where it looked nice on the various websites, but once I actually tried it out on my device, it turned out horribly.....

[abl00m]

For me it is the total return on investment which means:

I need to be able to calculate the value (trial?)
The cost must not out weigh the benefit (reasonably priced?)
It must satisfy a real need (would I use it?)

[rlobrecht]

Demos/Trials. The most important thing for me with a PPC app is the ability to actually try it out before buying. I've had some great PPC apps, but I've also had some really bad ones, and there's nothing I hate more than spending $20-$30 on an app that is poorly executed.

[norti]

Usability and design. Together : )

[cakira]

If the software sensibly improves my efficiency with the PPC, I buy it. Otherwise, I just don't buy.

[hornjt]

The single most factor the influences my decision is how I would use the software. I purchase PocketInformant because I knew with the Calendar, Task, and contacts that I use daily and that would link with my Outlook/Exchange Server, it was a product that would get a lot of use. I'm currently looking for a a Instant Message client that I could use and IM+ is one I am seriously considering.

Thank you for this opportunity.

Good luck!!!

[fishboy]

Having a trial available that works for a least a week is big for me as I like to be able to try something out before I buy it. Support and quick turn around of bug fixes are also important to me.

[mlangner001]

Even though usability and value are all nice and good...
it needs to fit onto the limited resources of my Treo 750...
there are a lot of programs that I don't use (even thought I would find them useful) and rather use the standard built-in version because of space considerations

[mmidgley]

If the program does its described job correctly and efficiently.

m.

[novaforce]

If it has a trial for at least 7 days to test the program if it fullfills all my wishes ;)

[eagle63]

Probably the number one factor for me is stability.

[chaosportal]

It's hard to single out any one factor that is most important. It definitely needs to be something that I need and use daily. But price and the actual DESIGN of the software is important to me too.

How the software looks (the UI) and its ease of use is very important to me.

[Don Galleto]

Software is great because it allows my device to do what I need.

[golfman32]

I believe you need to look at software solutions based improving a business process and/or simplifying your personal life.

A simple example is mobile email, this allows you to be untethered from your desktop/laptop and be able to be out doing other activities.

As much as it is fun looking at and testing many new mobile apps, they have to provide value to your life, either professionally or personally.

Thanx

Dave

[JesterMania]

I would say the biggest factor is copy protection.

I despise this and think that it only hurts the innocent. My first encounter was with TomTom Navigator 5. I activated the program the 1st time on my Pocket PC. I flashed a ROM upgrade and had to re-activate the program a 2nd time as the original code would not work (remember, this is the same device). Upon the device breaking down and HP repairing the device (replacing the motherboard) I tried to re-activate TomTom a 3rd time and it failed. And this is with only ONE device - what would I do if I owned multiple devices and had them ROM upgraded/repaired? My second encounter was with int13 games, where you supposedly need to activate through the net to play the full versions. I haven't bought those games yet...

Let's face it - there will never be a hack-proof copy protection scheme and companies had better understand this. Those who pirate will continue to pirate and those who buy may suffer needlessly.

[Paquette]

For me the most important feature is useability: the interface should be well designed and ideally it should be possible to use it single-handed.

[jjhall]

Outside of the normal usability and price considerations that all purchases must pass, the biggest deciding factor on mobile applications to me is portability. I tend to upgrade/swap devices about once a year, and being able to move my license to my latest device is important. If I am tied down to a specific hardware device for the license and must re-purchase when I change, I won't buy the software. I'll find another product that fits my needs, even if it doesn't work quite as well, in order to not have to buy it over and over again.

Jeremy

[Hx4700]

The most important point for me is a Trial version available.
This is to see if it really works on my machine with my setup and overclocking.
Ron...

[Sagitario]

To narrow it down to one SINGLE factor, I'd say the availability of a fully functional trial.

If I don't see a trial button available, I don't even read the description. I've had many cases where I buy software and I end up with compatibility problems or a slow device. Handango or Pocketgear wouldn't even give me compatibility information with my device if it wasn't an issue in WM, but we all know it is.

My needs vary, I focus on elegant looks in harmony with the WM Interface, functionality, flexiblility and support. If these are all good, the price isn't much of a barrier.

Cheers

[virain]

Software that I needed for my business was available only for Palm and Windows OS, Windows version was more advanced, had more features. So I swiched from SE Symbian to Windows CE

[Ce]

support.

Every piece of software has software. Good support is essential to iron them out. I hate sofware with realy bad support or a developer who is absolutely not responsive.....were it takes weeks before you get an answer...IF you get an answer.

[rebel_leader]

What is the single most important factor that influences your decision to purchase software for your Pocket PC?

The software has to really deliver value in terms of time and money saving through making actions simpler to put into practice.

[MaxDude]

When I look at purchasing SW either for myself, or for my company, I look at the level of support offered.

Knowing that when it all gets blown to Hell, I still have someone to call for help is very reassuring. Knowing I can understand the person on the other end of the phone (or chat window) is just as important.

Commitment to the product is also very important, but then that's just another level of support anyway.

Keep grinnin' y'all!

[indoorplant]

I always ask myself: what does the software offer and how it can give me a more robust mobile experience for the price. If it does I’ll get it.

[ellistyle]

A functional form factor is the most important for me. My preference is an adequate screen with a nice keyboard.

[egarayblas]

The main deciding factor for me has always been compatibility and software features. As long as it fits all my needs and works great on my device, I'd purchase the software without hesitation. :)

[Bacco]

The ability to try the software. Unless I can tryout the software for at least a week, I would never buy it. How else will I know if it fits my purpose?

[AndyH]

To put it simply: Will I get enough use from it.

If there is a decision amongst competting software, I will often go to the companies that i know offers good service and is constantly upgrading. For example: Webis, SBSH, Lakeridge Software.

[bananasplit]

Being able to try the software for free for a few days is one of 3 deciding factors for me. This gives me an opportunity to see and feel if the software performs as what it claims, and test device compatibility as well, together with how it mixes with my other existing programs.

Second would be, in case above test period is unsatisfactory and I have to uninstall it, the uninstaller should be provided, and do a clean uninstall.

Third would be affordability. Like WorldMate Pro, the features are great, but I don't think it's THAT great to warrant that price tag.

[TheSoulKeeper]

The ability to try the software out before I have to buy it!

[rookcnu]

Biggest factor - do I get free upgrade to the software after I purchase it? I hate it when I buy software and two weeks later they come out with a newer version and I have to pay an additional fee for the upgrade.

[chris2x]

I would buy the software depending on what's available in the market - if there's a freeware version that works just as well, I might just stick with the free version. Also, the ability to test it out sufficiently (not crippled, given a time limit) also works wonders for me.

[Ruxton]

1. The ability to get a decent trial period
2. The usability of an application WITHOUT my stylus
3. Cost
4. Upgrade Path (Free upgrades?)
5. Usage (how much am i going to use it?)

All 5 of those things can be shot down by the application not responding fast enough or crashing all the time

[psyche]

For me? Does it do what it actually says it does, and with a smallish memory footprint.

[Deel]

The most important factor for me is whether the software has features that I can't get in a freeware app.

After that, the software must be priced reasonably. Usually, the most I'm willing to spend for Pocket PC software is $20.

Does that make me a cheapskate? :wink:

[Fruit]

The most important factor that I'll be using is the ability to connect to multiple IM clients. I recently got a Mogul from Sprint and really love the phone with its unlimited data. Unfortunately I use too many IM clients and want to be able to use a consolidated program that lets me login to all of them (i.e. on my desktop I use Pidgin). IM+ was the best one that I've seen so far. I use AIM &amp; Jabber for work, MSN &amp; Yahoo for personal contacts. I wish everyone I know would just stick to one client unfortunately thats not the case :(

I hope to win a copy so I can take better advantage of my Mogul with its keyboard

[Joelacrane]

The first thing i look for in a program is a good familiar interface. I also like it when they match Windows Mobile. For example, if the program places an icon in the notification bar, It had better be all white! It should also use WM dialog boxes and bubbles.

It should also be clean, uncluttered, and easy to use.

[celmz]

purchase only if no free of charge substitues avalable

[lanwarrior]

What is the single most important factor that influences your decision to purchase software for your Pocket PC?

Undoubtly, fast data connection. I.e. 3G or EVDO.

I travel a lot and I need the data connection for:
- Syncing emails
- Maps
- Phone-as-modem

[rkopper]

personally, price is the deciding factor. My pocket pc's are large purchases by themselves. If the software is uncommonly great and has a high price tag, I will purchase it. But it needs to stand above the competition for that. Many ppc software makers follow a me too approach with software. I find the best application for my uses at the right price.

[GraemeF]

There are many factors, but the single most important would have to be price.

[nosmohtac]

The single most important factor for me is - does it do what I need it to do.

I also like to be able to take it for a test run. If the software has any limitations during the trial period, I usually don't bother getting to know if it's right for me. I think a 15-30 day fully functional trial is not unreasonable.

[PeeVee]

What else could it be? Ease of use is the single most important factor in chosing new software.

[zoz33]

Is it free???? :twisted:

[knaak]

The single most important factor is increase in productivity. Does it really make my life more efficient? I hence look at the learning curve, the reviews (does it work great or does it have bugs) etc. For instance, if a program is reported to still be buggy, I am not going the purchase it because that will mean that installing and using the program properly could be time consuming (having to reinstall etc)

[muaddip]

For me it is probably functionality based on the type of application. I have seen a lot of apps that look promising, but manage to miss the mark by leaving out important functionality.

[wardy]

For me it's simple . It works as suposed to.

[vasbinde]

For me, I would have to say that usability is the key item. By usability, I mean software that I purchase must satisfy a glaring need or gap in capability that my device has. In addition, it must do so in a way that is extremely usable and doesn't distract me with extraneous clicks or key presses, etc. to get what I need.

Apple's Safari web browser on the iPhone is a great example, since it gives you a nice, full page view of the web site and then with a simple double tap, zooms you in to that area of the screen for more detail. This is a great compromise with the small screen that is present on a mobile device.

Another example would be PocketInformant or SnoopSoft Dashboard, who all give a ton of information in a simple to understand view.

Clean, simple, powerful, and usable: these are the factors of well thought program design and, combined with an appropriate need or boost in productivity, make me whip out the credit card.

[hifiguy]

At the top of my list of criteria before purchasing new PPC software is the availability of user reviews.

The in-depth, professionally written reviews are great to get my whistle wet, but it's the various accounts given by users that really seal the deal. Many times, it's the regular Joe's that give details not found in the larger reviews and feedback of any compatibility issues.

The more user reviews I find online, the more likely I am to decide on a particular item.

[reem]

The contest, ridiculously easy to enter and win, only requires you to take a few moments to answer the following question:

What is the single most important factor that influences your decision to purchase software for your Pocket PC?

Good luck!!!

Mainly there are two but equally important and well connected facts that are really important for a properly supported purchase of a program:

1. Functionality
The main goal for which you buy certain software is an improvement of some functionality (which is there until you install the software). For instance pocketplus solves the problem of really closing apps instead of minimizing them. This is also the case for other programs, with flexmail one can store its whole inbox on the storage card.

Also the IM-program should have high standards. On my desktop I'm not satisfied with the standard messenger client, and there I use Pidgin, (formerly known as Gaim). This product is developed mainly about the core functionality that means instant messaging, BUT support all the various platforms. This makes life really easy, because you just have to use one program, and not simultaneously open other ones.

With the description above I see some analogy for an IM-program on my pocketpc. The core function must be well developed and also be stable. Also on the pocketpc platform, MSN messenger seems to be limited to one platform, and it also messed up the contacts by adding your msn contacts in your mobile device.

2. Service and support
The second thing next to the functionality is the support supplied by the developers. This is really a main distinguishing point between developers. It can always occur that on your device are some specific problems, which I always try to brief back to the developers, just to improve the software and providing them with inputs or new ideas. However there are developers, which pro actively take up the glove and do something with your info or try to help you with the specific problem. Or there are developers from which you hear simply nothing ... In other words they just think that sales is enough and after sales isn't very important. With that respect this point is maybe more important than some part of functionality ...

Summarizing both the facts go hand in hand, but the second one supports or improves your brand image and proactive attitude towards the user base. This increases sales and many happy users as a result !!
:D

[Jason Lee]

The most important thing for me when purchasing WM software is functionality with performance being a close second. Does the app do what i want? Does it take up too much memory? Does it slow my device down?

[Tony Rylow]

The biggest factor for me to determine what software to purchase is usability. Will I be able to use the software to meet my needs on my current device? Will It still be usable on another device when I upgrade?

[kinmont]

I love this software . Its an all encompassing mesaging client that microsoft never in a million years would have envisioned . client Its a must on every device I own . The lifetime upgrades are the best selling point of all .

[hezahonker]

The most important to me is an innovation. Something that takes a good feature and makes it great by elevating the user's effiency and possibilities. How exciting to take an idea and give it back to a customer not repackaged, but transformed. I love to see this kind of thinking behind a device. Makes you wonder what will come next and that is fun!

[100thMonkey]

does the feature set that the s/w offers provide comparable functionality to competitors, and if it is more expensive, is there a clear difference as to why

[dcassone]

For me, the most important thing is...can it make me more productive

[cpoole]

trial --> support --> price

[Magellan]

My biggest factor is usefulness. There are many neat programs out there, but the question is will I use it.

[kwoodham]

Other than the obvious "I need something like this to do what I want to do," the two most important factors for me is a logical layout/utility (i.e., its use is intuitive) and robustness (i.e., it doesn't crash and burn or lock up my device).

[walrus]

The most important thing to me is value. Value bang/buck.

[jvanliew]

The most important thing for me is value, with functionality running a close second.

[russpetrone]

NEED: Is it a program that I really need and will make my PPC easier to use.

CONVENIENCE: Is it relatively easy and convenient to use.

FREE TRIAL: Nothing is more disconcerting then reading a "review" or "marketing piece", be taken in by it, only to find it's a bomb! :cry:

[timware]

When I find a usable/stable software app, whether or not I keep it usually depends on price. How much I'll spend usually depends on how critical the app is, of course. Anything over 30-ish usually sends me looking for another app to do the same thing, like a certain other IM app that runs nearly $60. :)

[pedah]

Ease of use, and simplicity. An application that does one thing and does it well.

[labens]

Once I try a product, I need to think, "I don't want to be without this and it's worth the requested price." Though I'll try to find it cheaper or wait for some type of sale/coupon.

[Non-Geek]

The usefulness of the software for my particular purpose is the single most important factor. Then I will choose among all those that fit in by comparing their cost, ease of use, interface design etc. Hope I get a free copy. Thanks.

[BATTY_1]

Simple - Does it enhance my business or personal life or make life easier, if it does, gotta have it.

[jlafount]

Ease of use. A Pocket PC isn't a computer. I don't have a large screen to deal with scrolling around or waiting for the program to load up.

[nootrak4]

So i Can get more out of my Pocket PC

[deemota]

Most important thing for me is, will the software help me enjoy me device more....

[rorithoughts]

is the combined price-usability factor.

but for a single one: usability.

Understanding usability as the number of features plus how easy is to take advantage of those features in real world situations.

I have purchased many software int the past for 50 dollars each, even thought there are ones wich I dont want to pay 14 dollars for them.

Is what you receive for every penny....

[RusoRam]

The most important factor would be a mix of:

Usability/productivity/Good reviews on reputable forums

If I had to pick just one, it would be Usability.

[sstrunks84]

It must have a functional and intuitive interface along with being bug-free.

[Daimhin]

What I look for in a program is nice interface. Just getting the information to you is part of it, having a clean and easy to use interface is just as important.

[oguime]

Probably the originality, doing something in a unique way.

[drummrsanonymous]

This is just a slightly different way to put what everyone else is saying, but I want in on the contest too so...

The biggest factor for me is that the software shows that it is of enough value to me to justify the price. This happens in various ways - developer name (very short list), independent reviews, independent testimonials, detailed walkthroughs, and demos. In general, if the developers do a good job, someone with enough visibility and credibility will review/recommend it, which I'll see and decide if it's worth what you priced it.

[Gregg]

A software application that satisfies a need.

[jwquinlan]

I put software on my Pocket PC because I can threby access it from my pocket, so to speak.

Pretty complex reason, I know ...
