Mobility Site - View Single Post - Former palm user to pocket pc user question (beaming applications)

Hi there,

I've been watching these forums for a few weeks now and I actually have a question that someone perhaps could answer for me.

I've been a palm (visor edge) user for about 3 years and purchased a new x30H about 3 weeks ago. So far I love it since for the most part the features gained are much higher than the features I've lost. One of the features I seem to have lost and have not found any software to replace with is an ability to beam, via IR or Bluetooth, an application to another user.

Moving contacts and data is not a problem but is there a way to send a friend an application. This would be a great way of giving people something like an ebook reader or a multiplayer game without having to go and re-download it.

The Palm pilot allowed easy beaming of applications but in those cases it was usually 1 big file while on the PPC its broken down into mulitple files.

Anyhow, I searched google and google groups as well as this forum and many like it, and have not found anyone to have asked this question or anything like it.

So, is there an application that lets people share programs easily?
