Brightness support for many new devices

Hmmm. On the Axim, you cannot adjust the brightness from the brightness icon, instead it brings you to the Brightness Settings of the device.

Here is another catch. I also downloaded the SPB GPRS Monitor for my PPC PE. Both application comes with a battery monitor indicator, but both indicator are giving me different readers. <_<

What gives ...Which one is accurate? Looks like it is time to contact SoftSPB support.

Other than that ...I'm happy with Pocket Plus.

I installed GigaBar. It allows me to adjust the brightness by tapping the clock/date in the upper right of the screen. Great feature in my mind
