Best Pocket PC Freeware - A Starting Point
Best Pocket PC Freeware
I initially started putting this list together for myself to take advantage of the vast amounts of freeware for the pocket pc platform. While there are commercial software that are more refined and can do more than a lot of the freeware out there, there is still plenty of good free software programs for those that do not want to spend more on software or are just not ready to commit to commercial software. There are some pretty good freeware sites which I have listed in MyPDA, including pocketpcfreeware.com and freewareppc.com, I have based this list on ratings provided on the pocketpcfreeware.com website. I've included programs released or posted to pocketpcfreeware.com over the past two years and have been rated 7 or better on a scale of 10. I'm sure that there are freeware programs out there that were released prior to 2005 that still work on the latest OS, but since I have a X51v, I've concentrated on this time period. However, despite that some of these programs might have been developed recently, there is no guarantee that they will work with WM5.0. It might be a good idea to cross check with the Windows Mobile 5.0 software compatibility thread here on aximsite.com. In certain select cases, I've included programs that have a lower than 7 rating or were developed before 2005 because they are unique in what they do and have received positive comments from users. This is not to say these ratings are definitive and are not subjective, but I have used this as a guide for myself and this list. I'm sure there are plenty of very good/excellent freeware out there that may not be on this list. The list below is not meant to be an exhaustive freeware list nor the definitive freeware list but more of a good starting point for the significant amount of freeware available. Other threads on aximsite such as Favorite Freebies or The Official Free Games List threads are good reference points as well. Most of the links are directly to the developers' site so that you can always click on the link for the latest version as some of the freeware sites do not always have the latest versions. I hope some of you find this list helpful as it took a little time to put together. I have tried some but not all of the programs listed. I would have posted this earlier but thought it would be good post for my 500th post.
