spb insight rss news reader for pocket pc from spb softwarehouse

SPB Insight works with the same principle as AvantGo but the programmers from SPB Software House promise noticeable more performance, but not for free.
The Software is from the beginning not free and it costs $19.95 (once), but it is free from advertising and you have no size-limitations.
The other highlight of this software are user-interface, it has not only a good design, but also a good functionality. It seems that the programmers spent a lot of time with analyzing customer’s wishes. For example you are able now to admin your channels from the software, so you don’t need to login in web interface for that any more.
You are also able to make separate update all of your channels and you have still a possibility to choose the channels from the online catalogue or make own one from rss or atom-feeds.

mChat - an alternative for pocket icq

ICQ is one of the most used web applications on PC and I think that any of Pocket PC owners early or later decide to install this messenger on their devices. But Pocket ICQ from Mirabilis seems to be forgotten by their developers. That’s why it is worth to see some alternative messengers that support protocol of ICQ.
One of the alternative messengers with support of ICQ protocol is mChat.

This Program has many advantages such as:

- it’s free
- Multilingual Interface (English, German, Russian)
- Two rows contact list (for better overview)
- Smiles-Support
- Quick switch between program-windows with tabs
- Shows X-Status
- Shows Information about ICQ-Client on the other side (e.g. QIP)

Disadvantages:

- Don’t support Toonel.net
