6.  tdLaunch 
 
tdLaunch presents you with a string of shortcuts to your programs or files. This way, you merely quick tap to launch the applications or access frequently used documents. This launcher lets you apply a tailored background image and customise the icons' position. Plus, it's efficient and doesn't take up a lot of space or resources.

7.  cLaunch
 
Think of cLaunch as tdLaunch on steroids. Developed by a Singaporean, this launcher offers many functions missing in the original. The main draw of this offering must be its tab support so you can group programs into different categories. If you're an advocator of Palm OS clean launcher, the highly customisable cLaunch can be used to achieve a similar effect, too.

10.  No Plugins Today
 
By now, we're sure your screen will be brimming with useful software we highlighted. It's ironical that our last recommendation isn't a plugin but lets you toggle the display of your Today plugins on and off instead. Why so, you may ask. Some reasons include cutting down on memory usage when plugins aren't needed, keeping personal information from prying eyes or just so it doesn't hinder your Pocket PC theme.
