Essential PPC freeware
Posted by: Mekon on 19 February 2004
Anybody got any pocket PC software recommendations? My essentials are:
Wisbar Advance, which is a skinnable toolbar replacement that adds a load of useful features. I use Juni's or Lightman's skins.
GSplayer, which is an MP3/Ogg Vorbis/etc player.
Todayplus which is a Today screen replacement that integrates all the POOM functions, RSS feeds, weather, battery monitoring, and quicklaunch functions of umpteen other packages into one. Sadly the developer has gone AWOL, so you need a smart reset program to stop it expiring. See here for details.
ftxPBrowser, which is a PocketIE replacement. It is a massive improvement, making a hugely better fist of rendering the Naim forums for instance.
Total Commander, which is a proper file explorer, and actually finds files unlike the built in piece of junk.
Pocket cleaner plus. It cleans out all the crap that WM2003 holds onto.
AIM. The chat thing.
I've also paid for Snails (Worms clone), Trial Challenge (like Kickstart on the C64), and Darxide EMP (a game by David Braben).
There, that saves me hunting for it all again.
