Default Resco Explorer 2005 Released

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp

"Resco Explorer 2005 is a powerful file management utility for your Pocket PC. It implements all standard features such as file/folder manipulation. Thus, you can copy, move or delete files, create folders, run programs with arguments, and search for files or folders."



In my opinion, Resco Explorer 2005 is the deity of all mobile file browsers. Packed with a file manager, a Today plugin, a built-in viewer, system information support, encryption support, archive support, a registry editor, a network browser, and Windows Mobile 5.0 support, Resco Explorer clearly has more features than you can poke a stick at. A 14-day trial version is available from Handango, and if it's to your liking, it can be purchased for $24.95. [Affiliate]

Looks like I just made it under the 1 year limit. Just sent my request, so should get it in 24 hours.

Interesting. This says that if you own a Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox 610, HP iPAQ h19XX, h41XX, h43XX, h51XX you are eligible for a 40% discount.

The same page says free upgrades for one year but it isn't clear whether that's to or from v2005.

Default Resco Review

If you want to find out some of the capabilities of Resco Explorer, you can read my review of Resco Explorer 2003 Version 5.0. (Make sure you have a fast connection to download all of the screen shots. :-))

The review isn't of 2005, but 2005 doesn't sound like it added many new features other than a Today plug-in and Windows Mobile 5 support.

If you last purchased it less than a year ago, you're eligible for a free upgrade. Otherwise, if you last purchased it over a year ago, you're eligible for a 50% discount. emmfan's link has more information.

what is a motherload? maybe you mean mother lode, but that doesn't really make sense...

here is this old woman
she lives down the road
you can often find her
kneeling inside of her hole
and i often ask her
"are you looking for the mother lode?"
huh?
no.
no my child, this is not my desire
and then she said
I'm digging for fire

It's a bit of urban slang for "jackpot". I guess not everyone has heard it before. :|

Darius, sorry to be pedantic, but frax is right. The slang really is mother lode. The root is a mining term, meaning something like a bonanza.

Steve (pony), that's a really good review, well detailed and covers a lot of the features of a rich application.
