tough choice

updates: i was still able to run the old version - somehow, and well, it appears it looks better with the border ... heehee. secondly, yes, the Contacts portion is already improved over the original one with windows mobile!! with this in place, I can uninstall CNetX Face Contact application! with this in place, i could also uninstall the Slide2Unlock!

i came across the following from newsletters, magazines:

PointUI and iLaunch for PPC.

i like both of them, and iLaunch cost USD12.95, and certainly cannot beat that of pointui which is Free!

Pointui border

I have just downloaded and installed version 1.5 for pointui, and about the only thing i prefer the older version is the home screen. Now, there's this border that surrounds the Tasks, Appointments - i shld have screen capture the old one for comparison - but anyway, i don't quite like that border...i have to get used to it though :P... it's not just the price, but the whole ui experience is really good ... wonder if they would extend the theme to Contacts...?

as for iLaunch, the only thing i like about it is the vertical slide unlock -

Ilaunch

unlike iPhone which is horizontal slide - and i thought a vertical slide seems logical that while you hold the phone on say the left hand, your thumb should be free and long enough to slide up, oops, down and unlock the screen, rather than using the other hand to do so, imagine your right hand is carrying groceries! other than this, i don't really need something to look like iPhone, i would prefer something to be different from iPhone... :P

  take a look on the left for the Windows Mobile 2003 iLaunch since I'd uninstalled from my HTC Touch. yes, there is a version for Windows Mobile 5, 6 and 2003. This screen shot was taken off my iPaq 2210...
