Summary:
It’s been about a year and a half since Spb released Pocket Plus 2.5, and they’ve obviously been hard at work trying to improve the features and capabilities of the new version. So, if you thought Spb Pocket Plus 2.5 had a nice list of features, you’ll love the new version 3.1.2...maybe...depending upon how you use your Pocket PC. They’ve kept the standard staple of features such as opening multiple Internet Explorer windows, “close” buttons that actually close applications instead of minimizing and .ZIP support, but they’ve added support for applets, quick switching between applications and several other interesting things. Whether you’re a current user and want more out of Pocket Plus, or you’re new to this handy utility, chances are Spb Pocket Plus 3.1.2 can help you get more out of your Pocket PC.
