Can you be more exact? Is it bad for the developers that sell on there or
the customers who purchase the software? Since Pocket Gear does not write
the software directly, how are they the ripoff? Sounds like you had a bad
experience, can you be more exact?

I have bought from both Pocket Gear and Handango with no problems. Once I
had to get a refund because the software did not support my device (despite
being listed otherwise) and it was no problem at all.

Be ineresting to know what prompted the vendetta...

Did that make you feel good or do you just feel superior to everyone else in
the world? Get over yourself already squid....

Buh-Bye... Don;t let the door smack you in the ass on the way out....

As a retailer they need to take responsibility for defective products or
developers that do not support the product they sell.

This is the 2nd time they've pulled this on me.

I purchased Pocket TV Browser a while back and within a week the TV guide
disabled all listings. The dev refused to give a refund and instead
offered me to purchase a $10 yr subscription. Unacceptable but I got over
it.

This time I purchased DVD to Pocket PC software. I fully met all
requirements listed and tested the lame trial version and it worked as
advertised. I did an install of the retail version and it will not run on
any machine at all and Ive tried with multiple DVDs.

It took Makayama less than 5 minutes to respond to my refund request yet
after nearly 2 days of fighting this whack code I cant get a peep out of
customer service. The website says for this error I must contact support
through email. Still not a response to the issue.

Pocketgear is fully complicit with this type of unacceptable behavior from
developers. If it was Microsoft every liberal ACLU member in the US would
be SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER FOR GATES HEAD.

Never use a Mastercard Debit card for these transactions. At least with a
credit card I could file a complaint and not get charged till resolution.

That said I will post on every PPC newsgroup/forum I can find to let the
word out what a bunch of con artist they are.

Perhaps the biggest con is the use of fake customer feedback for people that
either dont exist or are on the payroll or censorship of bad feedback.

The refund process is cumbersome, and takes a few days.

That last part is interesting, and quite a claim. I take it you tried to
contact the people that had posted reviews, and they did not respond?
