Hi,
I'm getting an Axim x50v one of the next few days. I've been a palm owner since the PalmPilot 1000. I currently use a T|T3, but it broke and I'll be using the x50v for the next 3-4 week until it come back. Then I'll decide what will be my primary machine...
Anyway, I need some help finding the right software for this machine. This is what I'm currently using:
Can't live with out 'em:
PIM - calender/addresse etc - how does the build in ones compare the palm PIM?
Planetarium - star map that show the current sky and information in stars/planets/comet showers etc.
Plucker - for reading books and news
Yarn - for reading/posting to newsgroups.
Yaps - encrypted password storage
Used often:
Noah - english dictionary
PocketTunes - for mp3 and ogg files.
mmplayer - for video (doesn't use it that much)
pssh - for emergency server management.
unzip - for unzipping things download with the build browser
TextPlus - word suggestions when writing (is this build in?). English and Danish (made my own) databases.
Chatapus Jabber - IM client
Units - converts between different units
BigClock - uses it as stopwatch
Chess
Backgammon
Galaxian (is it worth trying MAME for PPC?)
FreeSolitari
I sync with outlook, but I'm guessing that it already does that.
I write notes, but don't need formatting, but spell checking would be nice (english/danish).
A simple spreadsheet would be nice.
An application that I could use to preview pictures on a Compact Flash card (from my camera).
Something to search for open WiFi networks.
Freeware is good, but I'm willing to pay (if the price is right and I do end up choosing the PPC). I've been looking at http://www.free-pocket-pc-software.com/ and http://www.freewareppc.com/ found some software that I'll take a look at, but suggestions would be very welcome.
