My favorite Windows Mobile Apps

[Dari]

I've had my PPC 6700 for over three years now and I keep finding new uses for it. One app that I love is Jeyo Mobile Extender. This allows me to send texts from within Microsoft Outlook. Another app allows me to save my call history to an Excel file. A third app allows me to remotely access my phone on my desktop. This allows me to originate calls from the PC without touching the computer (provided you have a bluetooth headset). Taken together, these three apps allows my computer to be the center of my productivity universe with the phone serving as just another accessory.

Any other software recommendations to further extend the lifetime of my Pocket PC phone?

What's a PPC-6500? Anyways, favorite apps:
1. The official AIM Windows Mobile client - the new version is crazy awesome. (Disclaimer: I work for AOL.)
2. The Microsoft client for Facebook is pretty excellent, and even lets you upload pictures straight to FB.
3. Google Maps (works amazing on my wife's phone, which has GPS).
4. Skyfire, for when the IE Mobile isn't good enough.
5. Dope Wars for killing time.
6. Windows Mobile Sideshow client - only way to get a working Sideshow device these days.
7. TCPMP (I've heard CorePlayer has improved, though.)

1. PDANet for tethering.
2. Opera Mini for general browsing (IE is NEVER good enough, Skyfire/Opera are slower and more clunky).
3. iGuidance for GPS
4. hTorch Flashlight to turn the camera flash LED into a flashlight
5. 1-Calc Lite for tip calculator and stuff

Sorry, I had 65 in my head. It's actually the PPC-6700.

Yeah, I'm also rocking an HTC Apache. Gonna upgrade to the Touch Pro 2 when it comes out next month-ish.

My favorite app is WMwifirouter. It takes the wifi in your phone and turns it into a router serving up 3G speeds.

If your phone doesn't come with Opera get it. End of story.

Skyfire, Google Maps both get a bit of use from me. Skyfire is great as you can use it to watch hulu. If google could add voice directions to their routes they would hurt a lot of GPS companies feelings.

I have just started getting into Facebook and its app is pretty solid. Netflix has a mobile manager which comes in very convenient. A little more obscure program is gasmate. Keeps track of when you add fuel and the mileage, costs, averages, ect. The author has recently made an update that will allow you to also keep up with your maintenance cost. Pretty slick program.
