Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Batti looks neat with more configurability than the SPB Pocket Plus function, might give that a bash! P
Guest Tech Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) paul - you should be ashamed of yourself dont see my WMP Remote app in there :) *cries like a lil' girl* mine: SPV C500: WMP Remote SmartExplorer Imate SP5m: WMP Remote Smart Explorer DMe (DAR~ling Mobile Edition) MSN MDA Vario apps same as Imate SP5m I've forgotten a fair few of the apps I use but well thats my "basic" "must have" list Edited June 16, 2006 by Tech

Guest Tech Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) or are you trying to hide from the truth? is my app that bad? :) most of the people from here (and other places) Actually email me saying its awesome - so whats your excuse? :) you should have a backup ROM image where after the hard reset, stick the backup ROM and it restores itself - like a ghost image. including in this image will be the WMP Remote app ;) yes - shameless self promotion i have nothing better to do today as I am just relaxing - well, maybe i should cash in that postal order Edited June 16, 2006 by Tech

Guest bongo_king Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Device I-mate SP5 - only a 512m Storage Card sadly though Apps - Smart Explorer - PocketMusic - I guess they won't make another version of this now because of WMP10, IMHO it is infinitely better (in terms of playlists, moving items around adding folders etc - actually choosing what to listen to) - WiFiFoFum - this is a wonderful thing - SM5torage - utterly indispensible - suddenly you can transfer stuff onto computers without ActiveSynch Games - I just have GnuBoy & some ROMS installed, they really don't make em like they used to... I also always keep a pair of decent sennheiser headphones with a 2.5->3.5m adaptor & a usb lead on my person at all times (almost) I tend to have a couple of other things installed and 'on probation' at any one time, but these are the things I'd definitely install after a hard reboot.
Guest Mr_Gee Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Device I-mate SP5 - only a 512m Storage Card sadly though - PocketMusic - I guess they won't make another version of this now because of WMP10, IMHO it is infinitely better (in terms of playlists, moving items around adding folders etc - actually choosing what to listen to) I have a Qtek 8310 but i cannot get Pocket music to go full screen, Did you ? (if so can you let me know how you did it?)

Fraid not - the main screen is WM2003 size - playlist & menus do take up the whole screen. Still swear by it tho
