Looking For Some FREE Software?
There are a lot of Web sites offering Pocket PC software these days, but if you're looking for free software, here's a site for you: The Best Tool For The Job.
"After using dozens of programs, spending hours intalling, testing, and uninstalling freeware for the Pocket PC, this is a concise, no-nonsense list of what remains--the best of the best. If you've just purchased a Pocket PC, this list could save you hours of searching for software to fit your needs. (Not to mention lots of money) If you're a veteran Pocket PC user and think you've seen and tried it all, don't be so sure until you see this list."
I'm not sure if I'm ready to declare this the BEST freeware site, but I did notice some of my favorite titles there. Do you have some freeware favorites you'd like to see on the site?

I can't really comment on the listing since I don't even hunt for freeware, but I like the fact that someone took the time to do this. I also like the clean and aesthetically pleasing look of his site.
Nice job.

Not a bad list. I'd also include the following, which I didn't see any alternatives to on his list...
BetaPlayer
UpTime
Launcher
I suppose that PocketTV and/or WMP could be considered alternatives to BetaPlayer, but definitely no alternatives to the other 2.
FYI, Picard just released a new version (v0.4) of BetaPlayer yesterday!!

He and I share GSPlayer, icbar, pocketwinc, and textmaker.
However, I would take betaplayer or PocketMVP over PocketTV any day.

Has anyone tried Password Safe as an alternative to Flexwallet, etc.?

I always wish PPCT would do this for software, but not limited to freeware. For example, a single list of the "best" s/w in various categories as determined by a concensus of the contributors.

Yes he has NoteM on the list. A great replacement for the standand audio recorder.

I would add...
I added this to the site, thought I'd add it here too. Some of my top picks (I'm a major freeware junkie).
One of my absolute favorites is Pocket Theremin ('Clanger') at: http://www.siliconmachines.com/clanger/index.htm. I've used it to create sound effects for a PocketPC game I wrote recently.
Also check out PocketJam (shareware though), which is a Roland 303 clone+. Create techno on your PPC. All considered, I think it's a steal at $20.
Lastly, version 1.0 of apMemo is freeware and is fully functional. Scribble a quick note in your own hand writing without having to deal with SIPs [soft keyboard] or handwriting recognition. Set reminders too! I find it very intuitive. The author has a shareware version 2.0 too.

BTW, I'm not affiliated with either company, just some of my top picks.
