Dr. Lynch:

As a matter of principle, I don't use a PDA or a "Crackberry" however, I consulted with Paul, our resident I.T. guru at the office, and he suggested checking PDAStreet.com. You can peruse the downloads for Windows based PDAs, between World Cup matches of course, here.

Just so happens I have a PPC.

The best piece of software by far for it is Pocket Informant. It replaces Calendar, Tasks, Contacts. Why would you want to do that, you ask? Just try it. Look at it. It costs a little ($25), but it's well worth it. If I only got one application, this would be it.

Other things I use:

Wisebar Advance. It's a program switcher and closer. They use to give it away for free, but they've got a couple of version that are commercial now. (Here's an old version that's still free and may work.) I even built my own theme to look like the "silver" Windows XP theme.

Total Commander. (Goofy name, I know). It's a much better file browser than the built in program. It's also free! (Resco Explorer - $25 - has a much better interface and lots of additional functionality, but again, it costs).

Repligo. It's a document viewer exactly like Adobe's PDF format, execpt that it actually works well on your PDA. (Adobe's Pocket PC Acrobat is horrible). It comes with a desktop viewer, and a PPC viewer. This is an incredibly good way to save webpages for reading on your handheld.

PocketBible. (Hey, you asked what I use. :) )

I've heard that Netfront is a better web browser for the PPC. It apparently has some bugs with Flash.

I also know there are different RSS readers out there, but don't know which ones are good (My PPC doesn't have WIFI, so I don't use it for internet connectivity as much).

Also, there's a whole community of nerds where you can learn more than you ever wanted to about the devices at PocketPCThoughts.

Hope this helps.

Now, I'll press submit and watch this comment get flagged as spam for having too many links.

Oops. Link to Total Commander.
