Spare battery is good. Also I couldnt live without my San Disk SD WLAN and 512mb SD cards.

Any of you recommend a replacement launcher?

I use Magic Button. Nice prog to view open apps in the background and is freeware. Allows quick swithing to today screen.

Also nice is Task Manager. Shows all processes and is also freeware.

And for single hand phone operation: Finger Clix
Can be downloaded here, 7 days trial for free: http://www.pocketgear.com/ppcw/software_detail.asp?id=10595

FINGERCLIX

FingerClix is the best phone dialer for the XDA (I and II). The whole concept of one hand dialing has changed, and using the XDA became even easier than standard mobile phones.

a hack to move around installed programs

Anyone know a way to organise installed programs so that you can decide what folders they appear in ?

 

[Tekflow]

Using the File Explorer, open Windows, then Start Menu.
You will see a list of shortcuts of the same programs that you get when you click on Start.
Open the folder named Programs.
Here, you have the shortcuts to all your programs
Now, you can create new folders, cut and paste shortcuts from one folder to another...
The fastest way is to access all this through your PC via ActiveSync. It is faster to move the icons, and you can create shortcuts to programs that you had to copy directly to your XDA, and put the shortcut in the Programs menu...

I would Agree FingerClix is excellent, But i cant get the full version from the club imate site, as a member it is saying its $25 can anyone help with a link to get the free version.

Ans if you dont have this you should get it, as it makes using the i-mate one handed so easy

PIEPlus

Another program that I find essential for internet browsing, is PIEPlus:
http://www.reensoft.com/product/PIEPlus
It has many features, mainly it skweezes the web page to fit perfectly in the screen of the XDA. You can open many windows (with possibility of open in a new window for a link), full screen mode, Identify PIE as IE5.5 or IE6.0, ...much much better thant any other software (Skweezer, PocketPlus, FtxPBrowser,...)
Unfortunately it is not free ($15)
