  1. A couple of additions by ebbe11 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Uses and Software for a Modern PocketPC PDA?
    Great list, a few of which are on my "A Pocket PC is useless without them"-list (Pocket Informant and WisBar Advance to be specific). I do have a couple of additions:
    • TimeTTracker - keeps track of how much time I use on my clients. This program pays not only for itself but also for the PDA, the GPS'es and all other software and hardware I've bought for use with my PDA.
    • nPOPw - freeware email-client that can delete mail from the POP3 server without going through ActiveSync. Essential for reading mail on the road.
    • TomTom Navigator 3 - GPS navigation with voice prompts and automatic re-routing if you take a wrong turn.
    • ev41 - HP 41-CX calculator clone. Greatest calculator ever :-)
    • Pocket Plan - Microsoft Project compatible planning if you don't use the fancy stuff
  2. My list by ebbe11 · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Must-Have Pocket PC Software?
    includes the following:
    • TimeTTracker from RF Consulting" to keep track on how much time I use on what and whom. I work as freelancer and this program alone has paid not only for itself but also for the Pocket PC and all the gadgets associated with it.
    • Tomtom Navigator 3 used with a Haicom HI-303S compact flash GPS receiver.
    • Wisbar Advance 1.3.2.2 from Lake Ridge Software. This is the older freeware version that does not work with Windows Mobile 2003 SE. The version that does is payware.
    • ev41, a freeware HP-41 calculator
    • nPOPw freeware email program that can delete mails from the POP3-server, something that the built-in version cannot do. I use it for checking email when I'm on the road.
    • Pocket Informat Pro 5 PIM program. This so much better than the built-in version.
  3. A contractor's toolkit by ebbe11 · · Score: 1 · on First Ten Programs on New Install?
    My list is as follows:
    1. 4NT - I am old enough to use the command line.
    2. Visual Slickedit - my editor of choice. I started out with version 4 and I just sent off the money for the upgrade to version 9 yesterday.
    3. Subversion - 'cause VCS is a must. The place where I work may not use it but I will.
    4. Tortoise SVN - to make my life with a VCS even more easy.
    5. Cygwin - mostly for GCC.
    6. Linkstash - I think this is a much better way to manage bookmarks
    7. Winzip - the latest version. And yes, I've paid for it.
    8. Object Desktop - I've gotten addicted to Object Bar and Object Edit. No, I'm not into skinning...
    9. OE-QuoteFix - makes Outlook Express a bearable newsreader.
    10. ev41 - a free HP-41 emulation for when I need a real calculator. There is a Pocket PC version too.
  4. HP-75C by quarterodeon · · Score: 1 · on E-Pass Can Resue Patent Case Against Palm

    The HP-75C, introduced 1982, had a LCD, an alarm clock for appointments, you could create text databases, and activate password protection. And you could attach a second display and almost everything else via HP-IL. It's successor, the HP-71 (1984), had the size of a Palm.

    Sad, but oddly cheering at the same time.
