Tricky :)
Be amusing to see what Handango do with the smoking app ... they are not allowed to promote anti-smoking apps (they told me this some time ago) though you are allowed to sell them there. Given that each winner gets $5000 free marketing with Handango this might be a tricky one

Odd. I consider myself a Pocket PC power-user, and I have none of these "People's Choice" award winners on my Pocket PC! I tend to take these awards with a sack of salt--this just confirms my tendency...

Why can't they promote anti-smoking apps? Are they owned by a Cigarette manufacturer?

The only one of those applications that I have is Journal Bar. I like it, but I certainly would not expect it to win an award for the "Best Use of Wireless". Strange.
Best Business Solution - EZWap? I don't even know anyone that uses wap on their PPC.
All in all, not very impressive.
Edit: I checked out EZWap and discovered it is more than just a program to check out WAP sites. Still never heard of it before.

Actually, I have AgendaFusion, Journal Bar, Snails, and am considering MySportTraining - I guess I'm not the power user I though I was :roll:

I have snails and MySportTraining. MST is great - the new food addon is useful too, although I believe the next version will be even better.
I am surprised to see AgendaFusion beating out PocketInformant though 8O .

I'm not so sure it did - if you delve into the runner up info, PI has Winner all over it for that catagory.. i think someone flubbed a sort order.
edit - looking at it again, I think that PI is winner for 2003 for handango's own awards, but maybe not the "people's choice"... sigh.
