VersionTracker Mobile Reviewdoesn't actually track versions of installed mobile software - Version: 1.0.4, 10/29/2005 11:10AM PST

VersionTracker for windows tracks software installed on a windows computer.
VersionTracker for mac tracks software installed on a mac computer.
VersionTracker for mobile is some sort of java RSS news reader aggregator that lets you read news about updated software for mac, windows and os 9.

So just to clarify- VersionTracker mobile does NOT track versions of installed software on your celly.

totally counterintuitive, misleading and worthless.

VersionTracker Mobile ReviewMotorola ROKR E1 compatible... - Version: 1.0.4, 10/29/2005 12:54AM PST

...essentially the same as the RAZR hardware-wise. That said, it works as advertized. Concise, compatible, easy to use, excellent comparative bandwidth usage. Nice one-stop shop for checking up on VT. The kind of freeware app I'm likely to use frequently.

This works great on my Treo - better than a lot of Palm native applications. I also installed in on my Nokia 6600, and it also works well there and is really incredibly fast, especially compared to trying to do the same thing with WAP. (WAP 2005 = Compuserve 1995, Ugh!) I really like the UI, that I can read the product descriptions, and that email is built in so I can send updates to my desktop to deal with later. One of the better done pieces of mobile software I've seen.

No much documentation, but it's pretty straightfoward. It would be nice to add additional outside information, but I guess that's why FreeRange is selling their other product. It would also be nice if it worked on other Palm devices or Windows Mobile too...

As for me, thank you VersionTracker for this addition to your great service (thanks for making it free too)! Nicely done!
