Uses and Software for a Modern PocketPC PDA?

Deviant asks: "I just bought a new Dell Axim X30 with 802.11b and Bluetooth. It was a bit of an impulse buy and now I find myself trying to find out what I can do with it and what software is 'must have' for the platform. I work in IT for a bank where I have wireless available in the office and I am also a part-time education student. I got it primarily for basic PDA things like a calendar, a To-do list, e-mail/IM, taking notes, and am looking forward to getting a few good games for it. I guess my question is to Slashdot readers with MS Windows Mobile based PDAs: What software do you use daily that makes your PDA worth while for you? What uses are there for this that I may not have thought of?"

First of all read what www.aximsite.com has to say about software, hardware and accessories. Also from my personal experience (software):

• RealCalculator - greatest calculator ever
• TomeRider - great reader for indexed data, wikipedia and wordnet for example
• PocketInformant - two words: THE PIM
• PIToday - you might want this if you got PocketInformant
• PocketMusic - WinAMP like, do not use WinAMPaq it is buggy
• TotalCommander - File manager, free
• PocketRAR - I belive it is self explanatory, also free
• Ministumbler - The wardriving and connectivity test you need for 802.11, free
• iSilo - Best ebook reader
• Wis Bar - if you don't like the microsoft interface
• KeyStrokeCE - another input method, pretty cool but hard to learn
• PHM Reg - registry editor, if you don't know what that is you definitedly don't need it.
• Metro - public transportation auto route for all major cities on the planet
• List Pro - Hierarchycal notes
• easySMS - sending SMS with your PocketPC
• ScummVM - for LucasArts old games, it's a must; free, but the games are not
