Publisher's Description

From Thumbs Up Soft: Designed to overcome the shortcomings of Windows CE and Pocket PC, GigaBar is an enhanced replacement for the taskbar. This utility provides an easy way to switch or close currently running tasks. From the GigaBar icons you can launch applications, browse files, and perform a host of common functions. In addition, you can customize it's look and feel with skins and schemes. This program is designed to have an easy install that presents the user with an up-to-date help file on the screen upon its first use. It's configured to resemble the Pocket PC taskbar as much as possible, showing only a Start menu button, the title of the foreground window, and the clock.

Pros

I've used Gigabar on a Axim X5 (Pocket PC 2003) for at least 3 years. Never had any issues with it.

Have since upgraded to the new T-Mobile MDA IV. I've never used the standard Windows Mobile navigation because of Gigabar, so when I started using the new MDA, I was annoyed at having to go to System>>>Stop All Programs. Tried downloading Gigabar from cnet, but was unable to. Tried spbpocketplus as alternative. Found Gigabar from a different site. Installed it with worries that it wouldn't work on my new PDA phone. Fortunately for me, it works with WM5!

I can't live without this app. It's the best out there. I'll gladly pay the developer to keep this project going. It's better than spbpocketplus in my opinion. Sure it doesn't do everything spb does, but it closes my apps with a stroke to the left. Minimizes my apps with stroke to the right. (And keeps them in visability so I can switch to them). I can double click on the top right of my screen and navigate my files. It's embedded in my Pocket PC Usage.

ThumbsUp! PLEASE DON'T DESERT THIS APP!

Cons

Nothing. It has always worked for me. There's a little learning curve, but that's no reason to say it does nothing. It only does nothing if the user does nothing with it.

Pros

I don't know what the pros are. I uninstalled it right after install.

Cons

No Good. Not Usable. I have a HP IPaq 4705 and a bar showed up right above my start button and it would not let me close any other applications that i opened.

Pros

this is an excellent product with much hidden functionality, I have used this program alot, getting things to come up on it is fairly simple tap on the bar and move the stylus in a direction, something will happen, please if you install this and have trouble, try to remember the bar will do something if you tap and move

Cons

configuring it can be stressfull so therefore its definetly not for beginners. the uninstaller does not work correctly unless you install it to main memory so you must manually remove it

Pros

I first used Gigabar with my Nino, when I migrated to the HP-Jornada 568 I again installed Gigabar. It makes my PPC perform like a desktop machine. Makes it much easier to manage memory and files. I don't see how anybody after getting used to it could do without it. Yes there is the occasional re-boot, like I said it makes it more like my desktop machine.

Cons

I have now migrated to a Samsung I-700 PPC with Cell phone imbedded. A truly great device. I love having only only one machine instead of two. I always have my phone and PPC. The problem? Oh yeah Gigabar does not run properly and keeps sutting down the phone. I'm sure they will correct that, at least I hope they will. I'll keep trying.

Pros

The only positive on this program is that its free and I cant find another free program like this.

Cons

Slowed down my iPAQ 2410 (Xscale 520MHz), doesnt work correctly (cannot close applications), also my PDA freezed twice after installing. Do NOT download. Too many bugs. I dont know maybe its written for PPC 2002.
