5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support

We saw the first five of these, namely #10 FCKeditor, #9 FileZilla, #8 OrangeHRM, #7 phpMyAdmin and #6 vMukti. Click here if you missed it. Some of these will be well known - like FileZilla, but even so it's still under active development and progression. Others will be largely unknown - like OrangeHRM and vMukti but both are undeniably useful and even inspirational and, being open source, they're free to download and free to use. Who could want for more?

Today we pick up where we left off and check out the hottest five apps on SourceForge today - #5 ZK, #4 Stellarium, #3 Zenoss Core, #2 Openbravo - culminating in number one - Azureus. I'm sure apart from Azureus most of these will be unfamiliar but every one is important. And I'm definitely sure you'll find one of interest to you.
