help make my cradled Axim interesting

I'm looking to find a program that will make my Axim do something interesting when its sitting in its cradle. Whenever I'm using the desktop PC the Axim is in its cradle, and I'm sick of seeing the Today screen.

I've searched and found three programs. One is a program that allows you to control Winamp via the Axim's touch screen. This is a neat idea, but I don't use Winamp as my media player (foobar2000 for me!)

The second program is called desktop stats. It displays your desktop stats when in the cradle.

The last program was basically a full screen clock that launched when inserted into the cradle.

These are all nice enough, but isn't there some way to make the cradled Axim more interesting/useful?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Considering the source I am sure it is just earth shattering.
