As Pocket PC magazine's New Products editor, it's my job to find software for your Pocket, Palm-size and Handheld PCs. Some of the software I find isn't so good, some is OK, and some is great. This is the first column in a continuing series that will report on the great applications, games, utilities, and other software programs for your Windows Powered devices. For a weekly look at what's hot, check out the "Download
of the Week" section on our Web site.
MovieCub/InfoCub
Top Ten movies, movie reviews and more
If you love movies, MovieCub or InfoCub is for you. Install MovieCub on your Pocket PC or InfoCub on your Palm-size, Handheld or Handheld PC Pro and you're ready to download the latest movie reviews from Top Ten Boxoffice (www.boxoffice.com),
via the Internet. The latest reviews on the current movies are posted every Friday. Check out the Top 10 list to see what's hot, or use MovieCub to search Top Ten Boxoffice's extensive collection of movie reviews. You can do this on line, or you can let your PC get the reviews and then use ActiveSync to transfer them to your Pocket PC when you synchronize.
MovieCub for the Pocket PC (shown here) or InfoCub for Palm-size and Handheld PCs let you search Top Ten Boxoffice's Web site for the current top ten movies, or go to their archives for movie reviews.
The MovieCub/InfoCub interface is simple and user friendly. You can either use the shortcut icons at the bottom of the screen to go to the Top Ten, Recent Reviews and the Search page, or you can follow the links from the main menu. There is also a help feature. A full-featured 30-day free demo is available. The program can be purchased for $9.95 for all the platforms, which is a very reasonable price. Go to www.moviecub.com or www.infocub.com for more information
about the product and trial downloads.
TimeTTracker 2000
Track your time and expenses
TimeTTracker 2000 is a time, expense and mileage tracking application. It comes with two pre-built forms, one helps you track time while working on a project and the other helps you track miles and expenses while traveling in association with a project. You can view records for the same day, last 7 days, last 14 days, or all the records. You can view records in various formats.
TimeTTracker 2000 helps you track time and travel expenses on multiple projects, with your Pocket, Palm-size or Handheld PC.
The List view displays expenses in a spreadsheet layout, one row for each expense item and columns for details (Dates, Amount, Client, etc.). You can customize columns as you wish.
The tree view displays records in a hierarchical format, similar to the way folders and files are shown in Explorer. It helps you see the different projects that you worked for that particular client and so on.
Mixed View displays the List view on top. Highlight an item in the list and its full record is displayed on the bottom.
The time expense forms have drop-down lists, which can be customized. You can add, delete, import and export values to and from drop-down lists independent of records. You can do custom searches on both time and expense records, and various subsequent operations such as delete, mark billed, mark reimbursable can be performed on multiple records at one time.
TimeTTracker 2000 will be a lot of help to people who do consulting and work on multiple projects for multiple clients. The best part: TimeTTracker 2000 is free and is available for Pocket PCs, Palm-size PCs, Handheld PCs and Handheld PC Pros. It is developed by R&F Consulting and can be downloaded at (www.rfcons.com).
