You left Smart Explorer out of your nominations, thats criminal!!

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

I've gone through this evening and added another half dozen or so apps (including SmartExplorer ;p) to the nominations list. So many categories, so few apps for some of them... :)

[Guest Brody]

Cool, couldn't leave binarys' software out!!

We've added Smart Explorer yesterday. It should be on the official list today. It was a fault to leave it out. Sorry. :wink:

[Guest Brody]

:) Didn't mean to sound rude, was just voicing an opinion, i hope you took it that way, sounds like you'd beaten me to it anyway ;)

[Guest smartphone-web.com]

No Problem! Patrice from smartphony.org was the first guy who pointed out that the Binarys Tools are missing. So I added it, because they are great! ;-)

Mmh, why was PocketScumm removed :shock: ? When I complained about the SPV selection, the idea was to have it in both sections (Pocket PC/Smartphone), as the Pocket PC version is much more playable, not to remove it from both entries :) or perhaps you think it's not a good emulator for the SPV :wink:

[Guest smartphone-web.com]

We removed PocketScumm because it is in "a working progress" and the rule for the awards is: "final versions only".

[Guest Arisme]

oh ok, I guess you can remove the emulators section then (and probably all open source softwares :wink:)

[Guest smartphone-web.com]

The Problem is, that PocketScumm is version 0.5 - a so called test-version.

All the other emulators are version 1.xx - so called final versions.

Sorry for that - I don't made the rules.

[Guest Arisme]

ok, no problems, I'm just trying to understand, nothing personal :) but whoever made the rules should know that in open source projects, 1.0 is a really big milestone :wink: (see Mozilla, OpenOffice ...)

see you in a few years ;)
