New PDA software site
Kyle found a new place to list PDA software. PDATopSoft.com
DelMar Alarm Clock is listed there now as well.
The signup process was pretty simple, the percent of the sale they take is lower than others, and they listed the software immediately.

DelMar Alarm Clock
We released a new product last Friday. DelMar Alarm Clock is a simple alarm clock program. It has some pretty cool features, but it pretty much does one thing and does it really well. There is a version for the PC and the Pocket PC. I've been using it for a couple of months now but on Friday we finally got everything together to release it for sale.
Somehow the Austrian site pocket.at picked up DelMar Alarm Clock and we've already had several downloads from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
It is already listed on Handango.com and will soon be available from download.com and pocketgear.com. I'll update the links when those sites update.
Of course, you can purchase it directly from us at delmarit.com/ditalarmclock
[Update] DelMar Alarm Clock won't be available on pocketgear.com. They require we create a custom exe that points to their site. It's just not worth the extra time to do that. Handango has been great because we can give them the same installers that are available on our site and everywhere else.
[Update 2] DelMar Alarm Clock is now listed in Pocket PC Magazine.

CEAppManager Version
If you are creating a setup program for a Pocket PC/ Windows Mobile application that installs on the desktop using ActiveSync and get an error message like
Application manager cannot install this application on your mobile device due to an invalid setup file. Reinstall and try again.
Then the problem might not be with your CAB but with the ini file passed to CEAppMgr.exe. I had set the version to 1.1 because that's the version of the application I was installing. But after a couple hours of searching I found out that the version is for ini file. It failed with a value of 1.1 and worked with 1.0.
[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0 ; this is the CeAppMgr .ini version, not the app version

Cookies
I'm working on a new web project and if cookies are blocked, the site won't be very usable. Something we need to look into fairly soon.

There should be more info about the new project in a few days or a couple weeks at the most.
