It needs an internet connection to identify the song, so you could be charged, if you're not connected via WLAN or bluetooth.
Other than that the program itself is free, AFAIK.

What's the coolest program or feature you've used on your hd?

The coolest program (without question) is AEBPlus. It quietly makes the Touch HD the most functional device ever. I have skinned the volume buttons to up/down arrow with long hold changing the volume. I have three taps on the volume arrow set to rotate because I didnt like using the accelerometer in all apps.
The back button I have for ok/close with 2 taps for close completetely and three taps for task manager. The best button is the 'action menu' which I have skinned to three taps on the end key. Soft reset, wifi/bluetooth on/off, practically all you need on any application/screen of your phone!
The only buttons I cant get sorted are skinning the home key and long press of the back button.
AEBPlus is awesome.

That sounds awesome. I would like some short keys to automatically exit a program rather than minimise and leave in tast manager. I'll check this out
Thanks

I've left my phone at home today so can't remember the exact path, but there's a standard setting in settings that switches the X button from a minimise type button to one that would close the application.
i find it also very cool. i just have one problem with it, sorry if a bit offtopic...
did you manage to set a button to do the Switch Display Off/On properly? I mean, if you set it to, lets say, the green button - triple press, it will switch display off, but it will never turn it back on. only way to turn display back on is the top button, close to the 3.5mm jack. any other button is disabled during display off, hence cannot turn the display back on. am i right with this assumption?
If you want the X to close an Application rather than just Minimise it to Task Manager then do the following :
Start - Settings - System Tab - Task Manager - Button Tab - End Programs By tapping "X" - OK
Hi
I read the earlier post about AEBplus and thought - that sounds good. I wanted to map the volume buttons to up/down and also get a button for screen rotate (I don't like the gsen and gyrater solutions).
So, I went to the developer site and then looked at buy from Handango which said not compatible with HD. I then asked the developer who replied very quickly (not so common these days !!):
---------------------------
Hello David,
Thanks, it is always nice to know if you find this utility interesting
As for your question: yes, BPlus is compatible with HD as well as any other PocketPC 2k3 / PocketPC 2k3SE / WM5/WM6/WM6.1 devices.
The problem I know on Touch HD:
- Home key may not be remapped due to driver implementation
- Long keypresses are not detected in BPlus for green/red keys and “back” button (button driver limitation).
- “Back” button corresponds to the “Ok” in button list so you will not need to add it via File->Add key but just re-define “Ok” button instead
- Backlight controlling will work in next BPlus release (should appear this week)
Anyway – just try and install BPlus to check if it will suit your needs before buying. It have very few “demo” mode limitations...
Regards,
Alexander

I have got the trial version and it works great for volume keys up/down and I have the back key on double press for rotate.
I can really recommend it. I will explore later other options with this good program.
Regards, D.

Microsoft Voice Command,
Impresses everyone,
First reaction is usually "yeah my bluetooth can call like that"
Then I start opening apps Core Player etc and then I start on flight mode and finish off with the music where the HD tells the artist, genre etc.
Their gaws hit the floor.
Teeter is also another great app for wow factor
and I also show some Core Player with a really nice clear movie.

I'm lying in my bed, watching the iPlayer on my PC and was wishing I could pause it from there. Then I remember reading about Gremote but not understanding what it did. Basically, you run a small exe on your PC which sets up the server, you install the cab on your HD and you can control your PC from your HD, through WiFi...

You can use the HD like a mouse or like a touchpad (which I find very unresponsive ) Still, it's kinda cool! I can control Windows Media Player, runs apps, move the mouse around etc.

A lot of developers sometimes forget to explain in a simple way what it is their app does and what its point is. Until I read your post, I did not understand GRemote, its purpose or it spoint. I get it now.
Thanks again
SHAZAM should work on every mobile?
It's just a phone number that sends the details back as a text message, it's hardly unique to the iphone.
No problem. That's why I didn't install it myself at first, I just didn't understand what it did... the author doesn't explain it in any way, he assumes we all know :-/
I confirm, it's very handy!
Regarding AEButton Plus, I have a question. If I change the action on the buttons via AEB, and then in teh future want to it change back to 'Do not touch', would the buttons go back to their original state or would a hard reset be required ?
Sorry if this has already been asked, couldn't find it.
