For the last few years Clinton has made a list and checked it more than twice…and now he has just released his third annual top ten list of the year’s best Windows Mobile 5 software applications.
I wouldn’t be revealing too much if I went ahead and gave you his list – but you will have to go to his site to read the reviews and all of the reasons behind his choices…
I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
I’m a WM neophyte, of course, and I’m guessing that Clinton limited himself to commerical applications, but I think anyone’s list must include the following:
o) Magic Button (essential) o) Pocket Hack Master (also essential if you want to improve your system performance) o) PocketMusic (though it’s kind of buggy)
The other apps that I use regularly, aside from the regular Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook, and so on:
o) eReader o) Spb Insight o) Spb Time o) Pocket Luach (ya gotta be Jewish for this one)
I have not gotten TCPMP (Betaplayer) to work to my satisfaction my WM 5 device, and so I don’t have a preferred ripping/conversion program, but if I did, although I think highly of DVD Catalyst, I prefer Dr. DivX combined with a separate ripping program such as DVD Shrink. But I’m a fanatic with regard to video conversion and viewing. (Coming soon: Doug reviews the Cowon A2.)
And to be honest, while I’ve downloaded CalliGrapher, I haven’t used it yet. Most of the time on my Universal, I use either the keypad, or the keypad on the touchscreen (the screen is so big, this is actually a viable option).
