Ok – before the cut and paste job I’m about to unleash below for this press release … let me say that Spb Mobile Shell is a pretty good program. I’m working on a review of 1.5 (sorry I was a slacker and watched 4 hours of Band of Brothers instead or working on the review) but from what I’ve seen so far it’s top notch. I’d really like to group it with some other program that we all know, but it just can’t be done. It’s really a remarkable program with a today plugin (that has replaced almost all others on my Treo), a start menu replacement, a “now” screen which is very cool, and more that I’ll wait to cover in the review.
