I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my Axim 400 (w/ 256 SD) and I've been reading some of the posts on this forum. Great as it is, there's alot of information to filter through and it's pretty easy to get lost in all the techno-jargon that is out there.

I'd like some opinions of what the best PPC software is and what I should get once I get my Axim (and figure out how to use it efficiently!). Specifically, what do I need to:

1. Read E-books
2. Play MP3's
3. Work with MS Money 2000 (i.e. Do I have to upgrade?)
4. Play Movies
5. Work with MS Outlook 2000 (i.e. Do I have to upgrade?)
6. Connect to the Internet (via my Axim - No I don't have a modem card yet so I'll need some help there too!)
7. Find my way in the world (i.e. Mapping program - ps - I don't have a GPS.)
8. Look up things in the Bible.
9. Avoid getting a virus.
10. Open my garage door.
11. Take over the world.

I'd rather not spend a fortune on software, so any free-ware tips that are worthwile would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

You can use the included Microsoft Reader to read e-books. That is what I use.

I believe you can use the included Windows Media Player to play MP3s and .wma format (nice since it is a smaller size).

The Axim will automatically sync with Outlook, except for a few problems with Outlook Express.

You can use the included Windows Media player to play movies as long as they are in .wmv format.

You really don't have to worry about viruses on the Pocket PC as you can just hard reset and erase everything.

I believe you can find a free version of the Bible in e-book format.

Y'all forgot two very necessary applications. Icbar, a freeby and Pocket Backup Plus. Checkout www.ictinus.com for Icbar and www.spiritsoftware.com for PBP. Also, Laridian www.laridian.com has many Bible versions, all with powerful lookup capabilities and all reasonably priced.

Check out freewareppc.com website. As the name implies its free. One of the good four letter words
