iPhone Today 1.0b - iPhone Today clone application

MiToNiOeS over at xda-developers has made a very nice iPhone today application for Windows Mobile. It is highly configurable and uses little memory. It has been hailed as THE iPhone today app for Windows Mobile as mentioned in the thread.

Personally it does look nice, have not had the chance to install it yet, might do it with my wife's x610, but as a lot of people has pointed out - why make an iPhone clone? Why don't people just go out & get a freakin' iPhone? I wouldn't for one, because I'm a Windows Mobile fanboy! hahaha

Features:
- Multiples screens (With animates transactions)
- Notification on icons for calls, sms, etc
- Is a Today (No problems when we push the home button, no problems with incoming calls, ...)
- Compatibility with others todays (By example: Date Today and iPhoneToday after), today height configurable
- QVGA, VGA, WVGA... (The user define the icon size and height screen)
- UI for Icons managings
- UI for configuration
- Very low memory
- FAST!

New TF3D 2.5 screenshots

Looks like HTC is releasing a new enhanced version of TF3D - version 2.5. It goes much deeper than the few settings/screens in earlier versions. More personalisation and skins according to pocketnow.com

Seems this is officially for the wm 6.5 upgrade of TP2 and Diamond 2, if not for the upcoming Firestone.

I'm sure once it's out, the guys over at xda-developers will release it to the masses as usual! It does look visually appealing and hopefully replaces the ugly windows mobile UI.

Review in German. Notice that the contacts tab is not like previous Manila versions, which to me is not visually appealing.

ThrottleLauncher - A really great today plugin & app launcher

ThrottleLauncher is a very nice & free today plugin & app launcher. So if you guys are not happy with TF3D & would like a change to another today plugin, this would be the 1. There is also HomeScreen ++ (HS++ for short) which is another excellent app, but would require a knowledge of some XML to make or edit a theme which might be hard for the majority of us, myself included. v0.9.6 of ThrottleLaunch was just launched on 12/1/09 and is a vast improvement according to APBilbo. There is also an iphone theme which you can use if you want that iphone look. Try this out! It will work in QVGA or VGA. I'm gonna test on my Prophet & see how it goes. Have used a previous version a while back & thought it was great!
