 I've now been successful at installing SmartNES 1.2 and I've tested it
with a few ROMS (including Super Mario Bros and Megaman 2). I've also
installed TomTom 4.3 for Smartphone but it crashed at the voice
selection prompt so I never got it to load a map. Oh, and DoomSPV
works.

Has anybody found a compatible Today screen plug in to show/switch running
programs? (like the one that came free with the HX4700 iPaq).

I found a task manager apparently written by HTC for smartphone. I've
been using it with my SMT 5600 as a speed-dial application. It's not
quite a Today screen plugin but it gets the job done.

Just got mine as well. Did you see my posts about ActiveSync, and the extra
GPRS settings? I am still having problems with ActiveSync 4.0 but it's
doing o.k. at the moment. I've installed lots of things already. I've had
problems/didn't work with only 3 things so far:

Rhinoware (?) today screen plugin. It said it installed but just didn't
show up.
Radio Times PDA application - which is pretty serious for me.
Adobe Acrobat viewer actually said it couldn't be installed.

I haven't tried TomTom yet.

Can you please link these posts so that I read them?
My Jarjar will arrive to me this monday/tuesday so I have not tried it
yet..

> I've installed lots of things already.

Can you tell me statistically how many applications for older Windows
Mobile operating systems, and not specifically declared as WM 5.0
compatible, works well on WM 5.0?

What are in your opinions the best applications to add to it?

> I haven't tried TomTom yet.

I'm very curious to know if it works, or when they will make it work,
in WM 5.0.

Mary
