ATTN: Students

With the Fall semester starting up, I was curious what software you students use on your Pocket PC to make it through the school year.

So, let us know!

Personally, I use scummvm, morphgear, netfront and agile messenger. This is the current list anyway. :)

Ha!... I don't use mine for school other than music. If I take it out, it makes me an attention magnet. :evil:

Mainly the PIM software atm. I'm trying to connect to the wireless network, but so far I haven't been successful. It uses WPA, PEAP, and requires you to install an SSL certificate, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it to work or not.

Yeah, but it's better than in high school. At least here there's some other CIS/CS majors who think nothing of it.

[jhennig]

they only attract attention with their payload of songs... no one is impressed by ipods, only curious about the songs on it.

Pocket Informant
TextMaker
Resco Audio Recorder (used with an external mic. Great for recording lectures)
SuperMemo CE (highly recommended)
Fonix iSpeak (favorite iSpeak story: I once passed an entire history exam by having iSpeak read my notes to me during a long drive.)
TomeRaider (don't use often but is useful with WikiPedia)
Math Tablet (Niiiiiiiiiiccccceeeee....)
VTI Texas Instruments Calculator Emulator (Useful when Math tablet won't do something the TI's do--not much)
(Stowaway Keyboard and mouse)

I'm thinking about moving to a Tablet PC for school but it's hard to justify with all my PPC does.

Wow! you surely spent a lot of money on softwares!! 8O Most softwares on my Pocket PC are freewares. And let me guess, you're in high school, right? :wink:

LOL, returning to college after a "vacation" that lasted way too long.

It's actually not as much money as it looks like. Most of the software I bought on sale or with coupons (if you search the bargain sites or just google for deals, they're everywhere). There are some pretty good freeware alternatives to a lot of this stuff too, as you know. But after trying loads of different applications, I think I have found a very useful suite for my needs.
To my surprise, the least useful item has been the Bluetooth mouse. It's nice, I just don't use it as much as I thought I would. The keyboard is great, though.
