- Magic Button or Wisbar Advanced (freeware for _really_ closing
programs instead of minimizing)
- BetaPlayer (freeware for AVI, MPG (DivX/XviD), MP3, WMA, ...)
- Total Commander or Pocket Explorer (you guessed it: freeware)

What is wrong with asking for opinions? if you read the OP's post he did
ask for our "opinions". personally I think seeing what everyone else uses
and does with their PocketPC's is a good thing !

Funnily enough I just upgraded my PPC and was thinking the same thing.
Personally the things I use constantly are:

Textmaker: www.softmaker.com
TomTom: www.tomtom.com
Journeyplan: www.journeyplan.co.uk/
PIEPlus: www.reensoft.com
RadioTimes: www.radiotimes.co.uk/pda
PCAnywhere: www.symantec.com

I'll be busy checking out all the other suggestions on this thread now!

I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned http://www.avantgo.com/ yet.
Its one of the most used applications on my iPAQ.

Also. Pocket Quicken. http://www.landware.com/ , but of course only
for those who use Quicken on their main computer.

It works on an iPAQ hx4700... Is that modern enough? ;-)

So far on my PPC I would have to re-install the following if I have to do a
hard reset

Pocket Breeze http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketbreeze/ <-- absolutely
can't live without this, makes the on screen calendar much more useful
Pocket Money www.microsoft.com/money
Pocket IRC www.pocketirc.com
Pocket Feed (rss)
http://www.gotdotnet.com/Workspace [...] 561c33b69b
Aim http://www.aol.co.uk/aim/wince/index.html
Microsoft Reader www.microsoft.com/reader

Some items that could go back on later:
Pocket Hosts http://www.zimac.de/cestuff.htm (resolves DNS to IP's for my
VPN connections)
PHM RegEdit http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
