Hi all,

Can I please get some recommendations for established software sites that people have been happy with, offering a selection of 3rd party software for Windows Mobile ver5? Preferably freeware :) but not just.

Already know of pocketgear.com and mobiletopsoft.com

Thanks,

GuyKo.

http://www.handango.com/ is similar to pocketgear
http://www.freewareppc.com/ is a good freeware site.

Heaps of sites out there search around...

Yep there are loads, been crossing paths with some already, but was also wondering about those that people have had first hand experience with. Issues like secure purchasing, reliable downloads etc.

Pocketgear.com or Handango
Secure and never a problem.

Good to hear, thanks; have delt with PalmGear quite a while ago so good to hear they still maintain their standards.

Regards.

I guess he means in his own personal experience - but there are countless posts here about problems with Handango. I don't think PocketGear will be winning any customer service awards either.

Oh really?! Sounds nasty; as I said, have dealt briefly with PalmGear quite a while back and don't remember it being a nightmare.

Well, think I'd prefer to buy directly from developers anyway if I can, but will keep an eye on these two, thanks.

While I haven't had significant problems with either Handango or Pocket Gear, I really would recommend buying direct when you can - both sites take a significant (as in up to 40%) slice of sales as their commission. So if you want to support independent developers, buying direct is the way to go.
