Greetings,
I'm very curious as to what, if any, replacement launcher the folks here favor.
My first two PDAs were Handspring Visors (a Deluxe and then an Edge) and were monochrome devices. Somewhere along the way I found and latched onto Silver Screen and didn't look back until recently when my Edge died and I replaced it with a CLIE PEG-SJ33. Moving into the world of color, doubling my RAM, and adding the MS slot made me start considering other alternatives. Currently I have both ZLauncher and YiShow on my SJ33 and am doing some quasi-side-by-side comparisons. There are things I like better about each of them. I've had ZLauncher for a few days longer than YiShow. I've played with and removed (and almost entirely ruled out) LauncherX.

[Prior to editing I had some quick-hit comments in here... "I wish ZLauncher had this thing that YiShow has...", "I wish YiShow had this thing that ZLauncher has..." And then I fiddled with ZLauncher a bit more and discovered that it actually did have a reasonable facsimile of what I was wishing it had from YiShow. I intend to continue to evaluate both, but ZLauncher has just pulled ahead in my book.]
