Much has happened since then and Brighthand has followed it every step of the way. So to commemorate the third anniversary of the platform, we've compiled our list of the ten top events that have shaped the Pocket PC platform."

Looking into the future, the top ten for the next decade would only have one item listed ten times: "ActiveSync syncs on first try and even several times without operator intervention." :wink:

I like Steve's list. Seems to give all the hardware highlights.


My highlights?

TextMaker

PocketArtist

The several third party replacements for PowerPoint

Laridian PocketBible

A plethora of real arcade quality games (not that I care, I don't play them, but they are significant to the market.)

Sketch Artist

Palbum

Photogenics

Pocket Earth & PocketWorldInfo

DivX (Is that what it is called? Anyway, TV/video watching on your PPC)

All on TOP OF a complete set of apps included with almost all PPCs.




Like the above, I wonder what the future top ten will be?

VGA!

1 Gigahertz processors

A gig flash cards for less than $100. (coming soon now, maybe this year.)

Built-in cameras
