3.) Wisbar Advance 2
Games
1.) Snails Demo (Great game, need to buy it)
2.) Warefare Incorporated (Great multiplayer)
3.) Everquest (great RPG for pocket pc)

Your catagorization of Most Used: got me to thinking. I'd have to say Pocket Breeze and SPB Pocket Plus, though I don't 'run' or execute either of those programs..they are just there. I must use PB a dozen or more times a day when looking at my Today screen for appontments, etc. SPB Plus just sits on the Today Screen, and regardless of how much I think I use Mapopolis, or PIE, I use Pocket Plus to get there.
So, Most Used: in my case is significantly different than what I might say is favorite.

Wow, trials actually run out? I've never needed more than 1 day or so of use to decide on some products (I sometimes wish I had)...
Lets see, favorite applications:
1. MeetingMute: I just love the ability to not worry about my cell phone ringer when entering a classroom (as a student or the teacher). I tried uninstalling it a few weeks back when I thought it may be causing a problem. It was PAIN to have to remember to turn that ringer off - don't know how I used to manage.
2. Pocket Plus, for all the obvious reasons.
3. SpB Time - nice looking while my device is in the cradle, and makes a nice alarm clock.
4. Pocket Informant - I never thought this was essential until I went without it for awhile - absolutly essential!

I have so many games on my ipaq that it is hard to count them all but at this point, I am going strong on Arvale and especially Warfare Incorporated. I just WISH that companies would upgrade their titles and release new ones that would be fully VGA compatible--please developers, take my word for it, you'll make a bunch of money!

Yes they do. Here's my way of testing that. Hard reset your PPC for spring cleaning, Go to all your registered program sites to get the latest version. Rebuild your PPC. Forget to enter a reg code or two. Go out of town on a trip.  ops: |

Hurry up and get snails from www.pdamill.com whilst it's on special 
It's well worth the money you pay for it anyhow. Good for several hours of random fun on your PPC. Haven't played it for a while, but teargas and napalm made it too easy to kill enemy snails in one shot.
As for my favourite apps:
1. Pocketinformant 5 - It's pretty, it works. And I don't know how I used to live with the plain ol' calender without it. I paid US$15 for it during a family/friends promo and it was the best purchase I made. Added to that I got Mastersoft money and other goodies for free.
2. iSilo reader. I keep advocating this program because it remains one of the best ebook readers available. It's a pity that major ebook vendors do not use this format. You can also compile html and other documents into iSilo ebooks with a bit of work. And a vast library of medical texts are *ahem - dubiously* can be (or have been) converted to this format. |

Definitely I will have to say PocketBreeze and Pocket Informant.
There isn't a day I don't check my agenda on Pocket Breeze 20 times or more - I think it gives the best informative solution I need and I'm always amazed how it still looks awesome on the today screen, as someone who enjoy themes and skins (also love Wisbar Advanced 2!).
After PocketBreeze, I need Pocket Informant to actually manage my busy schedule and I find this a great professional solution well worth the price.
When it comes to games this changes with time, currently I'm hooked to Cubis! I used to play it for hours on MSN web-site and now they got it for the Pocket PC - be aware!! you'll stop working.... :lol:
