Animated Today screens for Windows Mobile - Today's Time Waster
Sometimes you just get sick and tired of staring at appointments and phone numbers all day, and you think to yourself, wouldn't it be great if I had an aquarium scene on the Today screen of my PDA? Okay, maybe not, but Animated Today has come up with a solution to the problem that you never knew you had. For $14.95 you can add a system resource hog to your Pocket PC and add animated visuals to your Today screen.
Version 4.0 adds support for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices, takes up less memory than previous versions, and supports landscape, square, and VGA screens.
I'm not really sure why a company that's been putting out software for at least four years is just now getting around to updating its products to Windows Mobile 5.0, but I'm also not entirely sure why you'd want to have an image of a dog romping around your PDA.

This is actually huge news. From what I understand, Flash does not work on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices like my T-Mobile MDA, hence the lack of animated anything on WM5. Adobe has been dragging their ass on making a version of Flash that is compatible with WM5.

This was pretty awful actually. The animations are less than stellar, it cripples an already puny processor, there are weird side-effects from running it at landscape resolutions (e.g. as I do on my HTC Universal smartphone), and it leaves pretty much everything behind when you uninstall it. In short then, no thanks!
