As the title says...I'm looking for a Today plug in for a 2210 - any recommendations please?

I'm using Spb Pocket Plus as a 'launcher', PItoday to display tasks and appointments, and Spb GPRS Monitor to keep an eye on my GPRS usage.

If you say what you're after, and whether commercial or freeware (all my choices are commercial), we may be able to give you a few more pointers.

Thanks Lutz and David. Ideally what I would like is something that would allow me to 'customise' the Today screen, as in add and/or remove programs, so if there's something I want to launch its right there on the today screen, and I don't have to go into programs etc. I don't think that's possible to do without a plug in? I know I can customise the the buttons, but they are already launching Tom Tom and POI Warner.....!!

As for freeware or commercial I'll consider either if it does what I want - provided the cost isn't extortionate! I beleive that program writers should get something for their efforts!

In that case, I would take a look at Spb Pocket Plus.

It's only US$14.95 - and even though Handango will, as they're supposed to, charge you UK VAT on that, the US dollar is very weak at the moment, so it will cost you less than a tenner to register. There's a trial period before you have to buy a registration code.

I like all the features of Pocket Plus, and use them all. Pocket Plus has a particularly nice way of arranging icons on the Today screen - you can drag and drop them, have icons that are double sized, and when you've got a layout you like, you can lock the panels from drag and drop (tap and hold for the menu) and save the settings so that you can return to that layout in the future.

By the way, I recommend not bothering with storage card monitors in the Today Screen - I find they slow the machine down considerably.

One more thing - I would buy from handango.com rather than handango.co.uk - though the latter price in GBP, I find it's a better deal buying directly from handango.com.

I'd register with handango.com as well so that you can collect points and get their special offers. At the moment, registered users are being offered a free application each week - one offer was the excellent WebIS Mail 2 for nothing! I'd held off buying that because of the flaws in previous versions, but the latest 2.1 beta is pretty good and I was delighted to get it for nothing. I already use and love WebIS' Pocket Informant.

The giveaway offer is still on, though the free application now has moved on to the next week's offer - CodeWallet Pro Desktop Companion (which lacks the Pocket PC component, it seems). Register, view your GoPass, click on Free App Giveaway, and scroll to the bottom of the screen. I use Ilium's eWallet Pro rather than CodeWallet Pro.

Thanks all. I don't recall any Ipaq points sadly.

Anyway I've got Spb Pocketplus installed and paid for via Handango as per your guidance David.

Exactly what I wanted thanks a lot (as always!!)
