PIEPlus by ReenSoft: Enhance Pocket Internet Explorer
Looking to enhance your browsing experience? If you've got a Pocket PC 2000 or 2002 device, this look like a useful application, but it's a little expensive at $19.99. It's not Windows Mobile 2003 compatible yet either.  The "optimize content" function looks very interesting - I'd be interested to know what everyone thinks about how well it works.
"ReenSoft PIEPlus is software that adds lots of enhancements to Pocket Internet Explorer. Feature List:
� Optimize the web contents to fit for PIE
� Open multiple PIE windows
� Fullscreen mode
� Extended context menu
� Identify PIE as IE5.5 or IE6.0
� Set default charset
� Enable/disable script and script warning
� Enable/disable ClearType"

I would buy it for $4.99. But it says $19.95 now. I already payed for Multi-ie and poclet plus...

I downloaded the trial and it seems to work just as they say. Full screen in landscape orientation is rather nice.
I also was able to check my credit card balance by switching to IE6 mode.
The (rather large) downside is that the price on the Handango page is $19.95, unless there is a coupon or somethng I missed.
I would buy for sure for 5 bucks, not for 20.

You know, I don't normally comment on price, because that's up to the developer to decide, but I'm pretty ticked off that this developer changed the price on me. At $4.95 this would be an easy buy, but at $19.95? No way.

I don't understand this at all. For $5.00 this would be a nice add on to IE and I'm sure a lot of people would buy it. There are much better ways to spend $20.00 so I can't see many sales here.
Shame. :evil:

I agree 100 %.
I think that the developer would make much more money selling this for $ 5 instead of $ 20 because I don't think too many people are going to buy at the higher price. At $ 5 / copy I bet he would sell a bunch of copies! I know the developer wants to recoup the effort put into the software but he won't be able to do this if he can't get anyone to buy it!

You know what? I'm wondering if he jacked the price up because I told him I'd be posting on this today....man, I hope that's not what he did. :?

I'd only pay more than $5 for PIEPlus if it generated full screen landscape pages while my pocketPC was running in Portrait mode.

That would indeed be pretty "sucky"...had you congratulated him on the $4.99 price in your previous exchanges?
Still worth a try!
