their conclusion:
Being a Zlauncher and Launcher X user for a very long time, I think Propel is the best launcher out there. Although it has shortcomings too , yes you can install different type of skins to change the theme of the launcher but not in the level of eye candy that you can do in Zlauncher. On the productivity side its ability to integrate the 3rd party program with the launcher is an uncompromisable advantage. The size of the program is very important that's why is a clear winner on my list. It takes only a small foot print on the device wherein in my experience using Zlauncher customizing it with a HIRES theme, accompanied by plug-ins and different backgrounds it almost take 10 MB of my internal memory, while propel takes only 200kb including the plugins. Look on how many amount of space you can save with this launcher. While Launcher X also takes small amount of memory it can't match the integrated features of Propel. One thing that I noticed that Propel lacked is the built-in file browser. A built-in feature of Zlauncher but you can remedy this by installing freeware programs like FileZ to have a full pledge file browser. As a general conclusion IAMBIC has really given us a great simple launcher that can aid in maximizing the use of the PDA especially the Treo smartphones.
