NS BASIC Corporation is pleased to announce the results of the second NS Basic for CE Programming Contest. All entries are serious applications which take a full advantage of powerful Pocket PCs.

We've posted the winner and honorable mentions at http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/info/contest2/, along with screen shots. In most cases, authors posted their programs and even their source code, so you can see how they did some of the neat things in their programs. A check for $100 is on its way to the winner.

The winner of the contest is:

RMRBank Suite of apps by RMR Software
RMRBank is probably the most comprehensive finance package available for the Pocket PC series of platforms. As well as the usual functions of Transaction storing and statement reconciling, Archiving, Standing Orders/Direct Debits and Categories, it also has full multi-currency support, full Quicken/MSMoney interoperability, optional password protection, filters and find modes. In addition it will automatically integrate with the other financially-based RMR programs such as RMRFuel and RMRInvest.

Judge's Comments: These apps all really have to be considered together. They form a suite of personal accounting applications that are straightforward, easy to use and well laid out. There's a great deal of functionality here: this is not a trivial application.
