Whats your favorite Software for Pocket PC?

[FrozenIpaq]

Hi, i have been owned a Pocket PC for only a year now and used many applications. I have a few favorites of my own and allow others to see other peoples as well.

Most Used:
1.) SPB Pocket Plus
2.) Pocket Hack Master (unregistered)
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)

well thats all i can think of now.

[Sven Johannsen]

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.

[Pat Logsdon]

The apps I use every day are:

Pocket Informant
Pocket Breeze
Spb Pocket Plus
MobiPocket Reader
WisBar Advanced 2
PHM TrayLauncher

Followed closely by:

Resco File Explorer
MasterSoft Money
FlexWallet 2005
ListPro
PhatPad

Games I'm currently playing:

Gilbert Goodmate
Day of the Tentacle (Via the PocketSCUMM (http://arisme.free.fr/PocketScumm/)emulator)

Wow, Sven never thought of it that way, i use PocketBrezze but trial ran out so i still need to buy and Pocket Breeze is by far the most "used" trial i have used.

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!

[Sven Johannsen]

Wow, trials actually run out?

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. :oops:

[ctmagnus]

Ya know whut? I can't possibly pick one software that's my favorite. Pocket Informant, PocketBreeze, PocketWeather, Resco Explorer, FlexWallet, ListPro, PocketClock, Reader, MultiIE, Pocket Quicken, CalliGrapher, Decuma...

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:

[Ripper014]

I don't know if they are my favorites... but most used...

Agenda Fusion
Wisbar
PocketHackMaster 2004
TodayPlus

Favorites...

Cash Organizer
Arvale (have not played it yet but looks promising)
BetaPlayer
GSPlayer
Testmaker

I have a whole bunch more... but then almost everything I have in my PPC are my favorites... took a long time to find the apps I want... and its an on-going process.

[wrightca]

I waivered alot at first, but in the last few years I've settled on a few staples:

Dashboard (great for putting alot of useful info on the Today Screen)
Wisbar Advance
Pocket Quicken (great for Europe where they don't print ATM receipts!)
FlexWallet
Landware WineGuide
Pocket Streets (paired with Streets & Trips and AutoRoute)

These programs have made my PPC exponentially more valuable than when I originally delved into the PPC world in mid-2000.

[TopDog]

Difficult to select my favorites... but let's try:

- eWallet (can't live without it)
- PocketCHAT (when I'm bored on the train, in IKEA or similar places)
- Total Commander (old timer, but still great)
- MemMaid (my newest purchase, it's sooo good, my PDA is stable again)
- Phone Profile (must have for Phone Edition)
- GPRS Monitor (nice to know how much you surf)
- .mobile Contacts Phone Edition (an easier way to find your contacts)

[mmc]

Use these products daily:

MS Reader
Pocket Streets
Wisbar Advance (no competitor)
GPRS Monitor
Lexisgoo English Dictionary
Agenda Fusion (the best PIM)

[Jacob]

Top three are definitely:
1. Pocket Informant
2. Calligrapher
3. SBSH PocketBreeze

Next would be:
4. Wisbar Advanced
5. eWallet
6. PhatPad

New fave: Juni's Black&White skin! :way to go:

[Andy Whiteford]

Without even thinking about it, I would be struggling without:

tAgenda - http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/kohgo/index_en.html
Absolutely love this piece of free software, especially as it is very confirgurable and lets me have my upcoming appointments displayed exactly how I want them with the least amount of Today Screen space.

apMemo - http://apsoftsystems.com/apmemo/
Just so simple to take quick graphic notes and set an alarm reminder where necessary. I can leave myself informative reminders in a second or two with this app.

[FrozenIpaq]
