Well, Pocket PC Thoughts is the best of course!

Other Pocket PC sites that I visit include www.pocketpcpassion.com, www.brighthand.com, and www.thegadgeteer.net.

Try www.pocketpctools.com. They post a lot of the same kind of stuff as PDA24/7 does, though not quite as frequently. I haven't seen a PPC focused site that updates as frequently as PDA24/7, but there is probably one out there that I haven't stumbled across yet. Also, its MS owned and edited but www.pocketpc.com has fairly frequent updates too.

For more sites than you'll ever want to read, check the News section (http://links.svpocketpc.com#LINKS_NEWS) and General section (http://links.svpocketpc.com#LINKS_GENERAL) on my Web site. While many of the General sites have news, the News sites tend to have three characteristics:

News featured prominently on the home page
Regular news updates (although I haven't checked some of them in a while)
I checked them regularly at one time or another (before I got so many that I couldn't)

I check only a few sites regularly.
Obviously here which I consider the best site for mobile devices.
Brighthand, for coverage of other devices.
Zaurus User Group for Z news and discussion. www.zaurususergroup.com

I'm also going to have to start checking out www.pocketnow.com. I followed one of the links from here and it looks to be a good site with plenty of info. A couple of regulars from PPCT write there too.

As one of those people, we'd appreciate it. :-D Pocket PC Thoughts is still the best site for news, I think, but pocketnow has a lot of excellent reviews.

Brighthand still has the most active device-specific forums, and it's a valuable resource as such. :) Personally, though, I find myself needing to visit it less, as the "brain trust" here knows more and more. ;)
