Just as the title says, I'm happy to be a new owner of the e310.. but what should I download? Suggestions? I only got the bare model.. which accessories would you guys recommend? Which type of case? Which memory, etc.?
 
Get WISbar, gives you smart minimize (ie: tap and hold to close) and can put a battery life indicator on the start bar. Best of all it's free 🙂
 
Resco picture viewer
Pocket Streets (kicks @ss)
Zagat Guide (also kicks @ss)
Microsoft Arcade

get a 512mb CF and mp3s kicks @ss! 😀
 
I was looking at getting one of these. I couldnt decide whether to get the 32Mb one or the 64Mb one. Is 32Mb of memory a lot on one of these things? (I wouldnt necessarily be adding lots to it.)

More memory is nicer, cause you can get more programs on it that way. You can always install them to SD, but that requires you keep the memory card in to use them (something you may not want to do with the 802.11 SD cards coming out). If the 64mb model is only like $50 more, go with it.

Also, for movie times, get Avantgo (.com). I have mine sync with My Yahoo, which gets me news, stock quotes, and movie times. Avantgo ROCKS, I can't believe I forgot to mention it before. There's even an AT channel 🙂
 
MrBond - thanks for the info. I'll have to check around for the price difference, I'm in the UK and the price difference when I last looked (about a month or 2 ago) was about £50, which i think is about $70.
 
withMP3.

Be warned, the e310's bass output sux @ss. head over to brighthand's forums, do a search and you'll find ways to get good bass outa the e310. Also, I'd strongley suggest going to excecutivepda.com and buying the Krussell brand case for the e310. It's a wonderful black leather case made for the e310. It has 2 slots for SD cards, 3 CC size slots, removalbe belt clip, and a rigid and padded flip cover plus a secure, 2 position snap closure.

I use my iPaq as one.....when I can't find the real TV remote. 🙂
 
You can get the e740 at Compuplus for $409 right now. It WAS $379, but it's still a good deal.

As for software for the e310, I'd recommend Leo's Flight Simulator. Also, I'd get a 256 MB SD stick of memory, and load up with MP3's and movie clips. BMWfilms.com is releasing it's new mini-movies in Pocket PC (Windows Media) format, and they take about 7MB each.

What is the 802.11 SD cards? What does that do? Does that enable wireless?

Where would u recommend getting the 256MB SD stick? Where is the cheapest place for memory these days?

Yeah, it's a wireless adapter for the SecureDigital port rather then the CF port (like most pdas have to use now). They won't be available until next year though.
