I recently installed the demo version of Teksoft Smartbar. Instead of doing my own review, I will point to the 4WM Review of Teksoft Smartbar. I came up to the same verdict:

It is a nice piece of software. It gives you a lot of functions missing in Windows Mobile – a task manager, better close button, a “desktop”, and screen capture. However, it must be buggy as it great slows down and even locks up your device frequently.

It also show a program called SimPolicy – which I am not sure if it is an actual Windows Mobile program or something shown by this program, but it frequently used up my CPU.

This bugginess in the software will have you tearing your hair out in no time, and you will find yourself uninstalling it. Stay away until they have released a version with less bugs and better performance!

Replacing the Cable Box – Boxee and Live HD TV with the Acer Revo 3610

Gone is my 500+ channel television subscription along with the required boxes necessary to decode all of that content. The DVR, which has been a mainstay of my family’s television viewing habits, has been ousted. In it’s place is a kick-ass system that keeps the DVR functionality for many of the TV shows that we usually watch, brings in much new content, and also saves me a few bucks each month. Let’s face it, you don’t want all of the content that your cable provider offers. Cable providers have fought a-la-carte programming tooth and nail for this very reason. Much of it is specialty programming, and though I admit it is nice to know it was there, my family and I rarely watched any of it. My new setup brings many new sources as well as a CHOICE to what you want to view. I am very happy with the results so far.
