This was a very close contest. The two top entries battled to a virtual
tie: they are excellent. They are also both very serious business
programs, that show how powerful Pocket PC devices can be.
Congratulations to all the entrants!
Due to the number of entries, we combined the groups.
Winner: RMRBank Suite of apps
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.

This program allows you to keep track of your Expenses Accounts. You can create multiple trips to record business expenses. You define named trips with a vehicle rate and operating currency. You can define categories for classifying expenses as meals, train, taxi etc. You can then enter expenses or mileage distance of company car journeys, and the cost is automatically calculated from the vehicle rate. The program also allows entry in foreign currencies, with conversion to the defined trip currency. You can then reconcile entries when expenses are reclaimed and export the entries to a text file for importing into a spreadsheet or wordprocessor.

HandEvent by John Malvey
HandEvent not only lets you view conference material on your PDA in an easy to use manner, but also allows you to interact with it as well. All the information is contained in a single application. No need to load and launch different applications for different types of conference material.
"This is my first app written with NSBasic CE and I still can't get over
how easy it was to put together. With a portable keyboard I built the app
right on my iPaq while commuting to work on the train. Very cool."
Judge's Comments: This is the best on device conference guide we've ever seen.
Well laid out, easy to navigate, it has a wealth of information that is
easy and fast to access.
