Wow. They really need to hire a good designer. As long as software is concerned, I also take functionality over appearance, but it’s hard to believe they are serious about putting their best effort on the program when it looks that simple and homely.
As for project/time management program for PocketPC, I haven’t found a good one yet. There are tons of them out there, but either they don’t meet my needs or they are way overpriced. I’d rather get Stletap and run SDStime on my PPC.
