Mobileslash Comparison of Pocket Plus and Battery Pack 2003
Posted by Brad Adrian in "ARTICLE" @ 01:00 AM
When it comes to Today screen plug-ins, there are TONS of different types to choose from: battery monitors, application shortcuts, task managers and more. If you've been trying to figure out which of these plug-ins are best for you, Mobileslash has an article that can help.
The article does a pretty thorough comparison of two popular plug-ins, Spb Software House's Pocket Plus and Omega One's Battery Pack 2003. There are plenty of screen shots and good descriptions of what each program is like, including their appearance, functionality and options. It's definitely worth a read.
I like the article, but can't help but think that these kinds of comparisons are a bit of an apples-to-oranges exercise. Most Today plug-ins offer such different functionality that it's not always fair to make direct comparisons. Plus, unlike the author, I personally feel that Pocket Plus offers the better features. Heck, I'd recommend it simply for it's beautiful implementation of the "close" button capabilities.
