Windows Mobile phones come in two varieties: "Smartphones" and "Pocket PC Phones" (like my XV6600). For the latter, you would specify "Pocket PC" as the category on Handango. This yields a total of 13174 software titles available for download.

I was using the pendantic and uninformed comment that someone made earlier saying that Symbian phones are merely feature phones and not smartphones (whatever definitions anyone may attach to the two). That is why I specifically chose the WM smartphone category.
That aside, do you mean to say that all software for "WM PPC" would run on the "WM smartphone" platform? (this is
not a rhetorical question
)
It would be very interesting to see how many (both absolute and as a percentage) of those programs (for all platforms) that are
really useful. By really useful I mean (broadly) that it does not include trivial stuff like "make the close button really close instead of hide" (yes it is useful but that's something that should be in the bloody OS) and stuff like "yet another bloody battery monitor". And I'm pretty sure that a lot of the apps are counted multiple times (appearing in different categories, different versions etc).
