Giveaway: Time and Billing Software From Two Peaks
I've tried all kinds of time and billing software for the Pocket PC, but it seems like none of them fully meets my needs. Now, Two Peaks Software offers its new BillRate application, which includes a critical feature that's lacking in the others I've tried: desktop synchronization.

"BillRate ensures that the time you spend on various projects is accurately accounted, billed, and compensated for. Having it installed on your Pocket PC helps you create entries whether you work from your home, office, client site or on the road. With the many useful features and constantly added new functionality, BillRate hopes to make your job as a consultant more efficient and productive."
Features include:
� Track the three most important components of any consulting project: Time, Expenses and Mileage. � Organize entries by Clients and Projects, including detailed information about each client and project. � Classify items as billable or non-billable, and track the status for each entry (billed, not-billed, paid etc.) � Sync all your information with the full-featured Desktop Edition of BillRate for maximum ease of use whether you're at your desk or on the road. � Export your information to Microsoft Excel or XML formats (additional export options including QuickBooks coming soon). � One-touch access to summary info showing a quick overview of billable and non-billable activities, amount earned, due and paid and more. � Modern, professional and intuitive user-interface on both the Pocket PC and Desktop Edition incorporating the latest "Office 2003" look and feel with many customization options. � Designed for consultants, by consultants! BillRate is designed and developed jointly with Two Peaks' team of professional consultants who are committed to making this a constantly improving, daily-use product.
You can download a free 14-day trial version or purchase the full version here. For a limited time, Two Peaks is offering BillRate (which includes both Pocket PC and desktop versions) for $39.95, a $20 savings over the regular price. To get the discount, simply click the purchase link and use the Thoughts promotion code 935E2A during check-out.
BONUS: Two Peaks wants to give a free copy of BillRate to 10 lucky Pocket PC Thoughts readers. Here's what you have to do to be eligible for our random drawing:

(PLEASE follow these instructions carefully! As in VERBATIM. Any entries that don't conform will not work with my state-of-the-art selection system.)
Please enter only once. You MAY reply to this thread, but you do not need to post to this thread to be entered to win; posting to this thread does not increase your chances of winning.

Then obviously you have never heard about an application that has been available for years: TimeTTracker ( http://www.rfcons.com/cms/). This is by far the most complete and customizable time and expense tracking application available for Pocket PC. Of course, synchronization between Pocket PC module and desktop PC module has always been fully supported and integrated into ActiveSync.
I have been using TimeTTracker for at least three years now and I think it is by far the best application of this type available for PPC/desktop environment.
Cheers,

Thanks for the tip. I've actually used TimeTTracker, but it must've been longer ago than I thought. When I used it, I don't think it had a desktop version.

Brad,
I used it since it was still in beta. Trust me, it always had a desktop module and synchronization.

Whoo! And to think I was just going to pay for this too! I guess I'll wait until early next week to see if I have to. But it's still much cheaper than the competitors (after all available discounts) imo and, judging from the demo, much easier to use.
