Yes yes yes! Have had problems finding one that would actually work on my device, this one runs smooth and steady. Wishlist, bigger launcher buttons or user defined button size. wifi and bluetooth in the task list. Great work, thank you.

Excellent software, better control when the programs running mutiple software simultaneously. One problem on my PDA though, the phone function need to forcibly terminated before it really closed, any ideas hoew to handle this?

The best task manager I've ever tried! I've a PDA-GSM combo device, so it's important to me to have a task manager, which doesn't need stylus. I can use the WkTASK with finger, so it's extremly fast! And this software gives me all the features I want: it really closes the softwares when I tap the X at the right corner, and I can set the X's function for every software. WkTASK convert the taskbar into a "real" taskbar, just like in Windows XP or something else desktop OS. The WkTASK has az excellent and fast GUI, it doesn't need so much CPU power and RAM. It is a highly recommended PPC application!

This is a great program, and it looks fabulous, the only options I would like to see, is making it so the 'phone' application doesn't show in taskbar, and make it so only the icon shows in the taskbar, and not with the name. But other than that, this is really a great program, and it looks like it should be part of the OS. Highly recommend.
