I know the Remote Display Control for Windows CE has been out for a while (the name should be a clue), but I just discovered it. It's really good!
With a few taps, you can display your Pocket PC's screen on your PC and control it from there. What I didn't realise at first is that you can also type on it with the PC's keyboard. I find this really handy for sending SMSs over Bluetooth to my mobile (never have developed the speedy thumbs of my fellow Europeans to actually do this directly with the phone) and logging hours in my time-tracking program. I have a Stowaway, but it's nice to be able to keep doing all my work in one place.
At first I thought this software was pointless, but it's quickly becoming invaluable.
You can download it here:
