Insaniquarium Deluxe for Pocket PC v1.00

Astraware has just released Insaniquarium Deluxe, which is a separate game from the original Insaniquarium game released a few years ago. Insaniquarium Deluxe is based on the highly acclaimed PC game by PopCap Games, Inc.

Insaniquarium Deluxe is the craziest aquarium game ever - tend to your fish and keep them happy and they'll reward you with precious coins and jewels. Use the money you earn to buy upgrades for your tank or egg parts which hatch lots of different in-tank pets with special powers. These pets can help you feed your fish, collect coins, or even protect against the aliens that will invade your tank and wreak havoc. You can also use the money you earn to buy better weapons to see the aliens off quicker!

Insaniquarium Deluxe includes 3 fun ways to play:

  • Adventure - keep your fish healthy and protect them from aliens through 4 fun aquarium stages each with multiple levels of mayhem
  • Time Trial - feed your fish and fight off the alien invaders to make as much money as possible against the clock. A new time trial is unlocked as you complete each stage in Adventure
  • Challenge - once you've mastered Adventure, face the ultimate challenge as you feed your fish and try to protect them from ever increasing alien attacks. The challenge ends when the last fish is zapped!

Insaniquarium Deluxe is available for Palm OS 5 smartphones and PDAs with at least a 320x320 screen, and for Windows Mobile smartphones 2003 and later.

VirtuaMouse One-Hand v1.0

VirtuaMouse One-Hand, by Innovisoft Corporation, helps you to reduce your "need to" use the stylus by giving you a truly effective alternative: an on-screen, virtual mouse pointer that you control with your Pocket PC's D-Pad (aka Joypad/arrow keys).

This mouse cursor can be used to "tap" almost anywhere that a stylus can tap (except in games) without reaching for the stylus.

VirtuaMouse One-Hand is useful for those times when you can�t use the stylus, or with applications that aren't very "thumb-friendly" and would normally force you use your stylus.

It�s not meant to be a full stylus replacement; instead, it's meant to give you ANOTHER choice!

Either use the stylus, or don't -- now it's up to you!

Features:

  • Easy and natural to use
  • Works in almost any application (except games)
  • An effective stylus replacement, so that you can use your Pocket PC anytime, even without a stylus.
  • Quick access via Hardware Button(s)
  • Increases your productivity by freeing your "stylus hand" to do other things, like taking a phone call or writing down some notes

The choice your's!

Get it here for $19.95!


DutchTab v1.0.8401

DutchTab, by slimCODE, lets you easily split bills between friends or coworkers. It automatically calculates who owes whom based on the ratio of each person's order and their contribution when the bill was paid. You can even send everybody a summary by email from your device. Whether sharing a lunch order with coworkers, dining out with friends or splitting bills with roommates, those who have cash can take care of bills and get their fair part later. With DutchTab, going Dutch has never been so easy!

Features:

  • Automatic fair splitting based on item prices and amount paid
  • No need to include taxes or tip
  • Import contacts from Outlook, with picture
  • Send the balance results by email
  • Supports both Pocket PC and Smartphones
  • Supports touch-screen and non-touch-screen devices

New program with odd revision number, but sometimes they catch a bug and address it before releasing a program - hence the odd 1.0.8401.

I've been there. One bill for a large group - who owes what? This program addresses exactly that scenario! So, get it today!

Get it here for a mere $5.00! (maybe you can split the cost?!) grin.
