Thanks Al.

There are plenty of programs that I have on my ppc's but most of them are
not freeware. Resco File explorer (http://resco-net.com) is great and
Pocket Plus (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com) is one of the first programs I
install on a device. Gsplayer (http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/) is
a great freeware player for mp3's, ogg, and live365/shoutcast stations. For
telephony I use Xten's X-pro (www.xten.net) with vonage, free world dialup
and stanaphone and I also have skype installed but I don't use it much.
There's also Pocket Tv (www.pockettv.com) a great free mpeg video player and
Sprite backup (www.spritesoftware.com) is a must have although it's not free
it is definately worth it. Qusnetsoft's newsreader
(http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=13869) is just great for
keeping up with newsgroup activities. Hope this helps.

I currently use these with my iPaq h5550:

Multi IE ( http://www.multiie.info/ ): a great add-on that fixes some of the
worst limitations of Pocket IE. (Opera for Pocket PC is still on my wish
list....)

PocketSkype (http://www.skype.com/download_pda.html ): VoIP calls to my
friends over Wi-Fi.

Clearvue Suite (http://www.westtek.com/ppc.htm): this wonderful application
opens all the MS Office and PDF documents from my corporate webmail.

Vxutil Personal (http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html): the most common
TCP/IP network tools, this has been helpful when resolving network problems.

RealOne Player for PocketPC (http://www.realnetworks.com/mobile/): I watch
for example national news broadcasts over GPRS. This application would be a
lot more useful if RealNetworks fixed the issues with 1:1 or many:1 type NAT
configurations. Currently I can't get it working on my home / work Wi-Fi
networks or Wi-Fi hotspots.

Magic SS (http://www.louterrailloune.com/magicss.html): a simple and
trustworthy screen capture application. I write about PPC hardware and
software, so this is almost an everyday tool. It's also useful for tutorials
etc.

And my friend loves this one:

Agile Messenger (http://www.agilemobile.com/agile_messenger.html): a
multi-service instant messaging application that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN,
Yahoo and Wireless Village systems.

Next to everything already mentioned, I still want to plug
nPOPw, a POP3 client that seems awkward at first, but gives you
tons of control over the contents on your server.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned CityTime yet
(http://www.codecity.net/) and there's of course Conversions in Hand, best
conversion program I've found so far: converts British lady shoesizes to
Fahrenheit, and miles per gallon to centimeters.
http://www.burroak.on.ca

Also, AcroReader from Adobe. Although the software is a piece of junk and
after 3 years still in version 1.0, and it doesn't open Adobe E-books
(BEWARE, BEWARE!), just regulare PDF files.

And for when you sitting on the couch: TV remote
controller (pdawin.com). Able to use pronto pro config
files and such. Can Learn any command from your remotes.
Can download or manual enter descrete power codes also. I
still run the old 3.1 version so I don't have the new
features (full screen mode being one of them I think)

Or use WorldMate (http://www.mobimate.com), which does both a
worldclock, an exchange rate, weather service, converions, etc.,
all in one program. It syncs echange rates and weather forecast
through any internet connection, also through your desktops
connection when performing an Activesync.

I tried it out, didn't like the interface, nor am I a friend of
"all-in-one" programs.

Well... I do like the programs you mentioned, but personally I
prefer the less clutter an all-in-one gives me.

So I guess it's a good thing there's a choice, and it's a good
thing that the original poster can learn from this thread that
he gets something to choose from.
