Just refreshed the list with a few updates that have been released over the past week.
Pocket SCUMM updated to v0.9.0
Metro updated to v5.4.2
.NET CF 2.0 updated to SP1
While Pocket Scumm is indeed a worthy to be on this list, I'd suggest you point people to the 0.8.2 version, rather than the current 0.9.0 version which is highly unstable. See, ScummVM has messed with its purple & green graphic interface, and replaced it with something that resembles its website.
At least for the moment, its practically unworkable on my Axim x50-mid. MI3 & FOTAQ have crashed, and I'm not about to test everything to see that it doesn't work.
Also, I don't know if this should be an addition to the list or not, not having tried it just yet. But I did find (via the forums) this apparently freeware DosBox port for the PocketPC.
You should also have a link to at least one IRC program for the Pocket PC. I know there's this one, but I'm not sure if its the best, having no idea about how to compare.

I previously had the link pointed to v0.8.2. Version 0.9.0 is suppose to be a stable version, its not a beta. Is it just that you don't like the new color scheme? haven't tried this program myself yet but should since I bought a lot of the Lucas Arts games way back when and still have them.

Yeah, its supposed to be a stable version. I however have found it to be far less so. Like I said, I've found that Flight of the Amazon Queen talkie (which is freely available at the site) & Curse of Monkey Island crash almost immediately.
Also the keyboard/transcriber button tends to bleed through. You can't see it normally, but if you put your stylus in that area, it tends to activate. Kinda.
Maybe the server I downloaded it from just hadn't updated with the stable version (I tried MN first, but they were down, so I tried the Virgina site), but I noticed on the ScummVM forums that other PDA users found it unstable as well.
The main screen, with its new GUI tends to take longer to load. And while the new colors don't look too bad on Windows, I think the simple purple & green works better on the Axim.

Edited to Add:
Apparently, there was an error with the latest upload build for the Pocket PC. Not sure if they've uploaded the fix to all the servers just yet, but there is a fix available linked in this thread.
Just an FYI that the list has been updated with new versions for some of the programs this month including: Opera Mini, Pocket TV Classic, Pocket Music, Mortplayer, Pocket Islam, Taiyoukei, Today Agenda, and AM TaskPlus. Enjoy!

TodayAgenda has been updated a couple of times this week. The latest version v.0.9.11 now adds supports Pocket Informant and Agenda Fusion.
You can always check back for updates to the list for various programs by scanning the list for updates marked in red text. Of course, if you find a particular program has been updated before me, just let me know and I'll update the list.
