UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!
Oh Lord, If I have a vice it’s Pocket PC Software. Over the years I’ve racked up A LOT of registration keys for these things. So here is the list of software I own, use, or have used, and my comments. Affiliate links for Pocket PC Thougths are provided if available. My preferred store is Handango, although you could use PocketGear just as well. In April 2005 I purchased the Pocket PC Magazine Best Of Everything CD which entitled me to register a lot of software. Software I registered through it are marked with an *.
Key:
Unused – I never really used this software as much as I thought I would, or I bought / registered it while it was on sale in case I ever would need it (Obviously, I don’t need it…). If I bought this and never used it (and it h
as no * next to it, indicating that I paid honest to goodness money at the time), you might want to stay clear unless you’re SURE you’ll use it!
Retired – I used it for a period of time, but gradually stopped using it for one reason or another. Perhaps the functionality was built into a new PPC, newer software, etc..
Active – I’m currently using this program full-time
Part-Time – I use this application part-time, or when need calls for it.

| Agenda Fusion 7* | $29.95 | Unused | Registered it just to have it handy. PI is still my preferred PIM. | Handango |

Nice Text imput tool, and version 8.0 is better than ever. | Handango |
| Cell Profiler Pro | $24.95 | Retired | Neat little tool to change the profiles on your Pocket PC Phone Edition as you moved from cell site to cell site. | Handango |
| CityTime for Pocket PC | $14.95 | Part-Time | Registered it as part of the Best Of Everything CD. Works great when travelling, as calculating Time zones in my head is tricky for me! | ref=”http://www.handango.com/ampp/store/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&jid=DEA9C421FAX5A442243316DD138123F1&platformId=2&productType=2&productId=16103§ionId=0&catalog=30&topSectionId=-1″ target=_blank>Handango |
| CodeWallet Pro* | $29.95 | Unused | Registered it, but haven’t used it yet. Looks useful. | Handango |
| DoubleLauncher | $9.95 | Retired | Used it when I had limited hard buttons and wanted to get the most from them. It’s a pretty sweet app for that purpose! | Handango |
| Fonix VoiceDial | $15.95 | Retired | Used it before MS Voice Command. Works great. | Handango |

| HudsonMobile Phone Dashboard | $14.95 | Retired | Used it to keep track of my minutes when I was on a more minute-crunching cell plan. Moved off that plan and haven’t needed it since. Great app! | Handango |
| Ilium Software: eWallet | $29.95 (Pro) | Active | What I use to store all the registration numbers! and all my other life-saving important information. It does this nicely, with a desktop component! |
Handango |
| Ilium Software: ListPro | $29.95 (Pro) | Active | Lists. We all have them, this program has it covered. I particularly like some of the stock lists on their site, such as the PHP reference! | Handango |
| Ilium Software: Newsbreak | $19.95 | Retired | One of the first, and nicest PPC Newsreaders, I only retired it and went to Egress beca use of it’s lack of enclosure support. Otherwise, rock solid and a nice design! |

| MemMaid | $11.99 | Part-Time | Cleans out garbage files. Who could ask for more. | Handango |
| Mobidial.NET | $14? | Unused | Nice interface for phone dialing, but crashed my i-mate a few more times than I would have liked. Hard resets aren’t fun. | Handango |
| Mobipocket Reader Pro | $29? | Unused | Bought it, never used it as much as I thought I would. | Homepage |
| MTux Software (All Titles!) | variable | Unused | All their programs are great but a little bare-bones & buggy. Fun to play with, and cheap to buy, take a look at www.mtux.com | Homepage |
