What are the best programs to enhance functionality of my Axim? I'm new to pocket pc and want to get the most out of my shiny new X51v.

Special areas of consideration:
Overhauls of user interface or other mods?
Custom handwriting recognition
Video
MP3
Internet- Firefox????

Anything else I should look for?


Thanks

If somebody told me I could only have one additional program for my x51v, I'd make that program PocketBreeze.

I'm a medical student about to go into my 3rd year clerkships. My primary use will be with epocrates, but I like to get full use of new toys.

Ok, I've got TCPMP & Opera, and they seem to work marvelously. Minimo is just a little too minimum in functionality. Magic button slowed everything down and caused errors. Wisbar wants money. At least Opera is 30 day and seems to be awesome.

I looked at pocketbreeze and they wanted money, too. Maybe I'll try the pay ones later after I've offset my initial cost in pda and accessories.

What else can you recommend?

It may well be the best software I ever bought. My handwriting is barely recognizable, but Calligrapher reads it with a percentage of about 96%. It's absolutely astonishing. It's by far the quickest method of input available.

Guys,
check out this http://forum.mypdacafe.com/viewtopic.php?t=4650
It gives list of discounts and links and is updated fairly often.

iMactel

Gnemirov, you just saved me $122 bucks on epocrates!!!! Thank you!!!!

Update on my X51v... I'm running wisbar adv, pocketbreeze, iloader, pocket weather, contact breeze, WM5NewMenu, Opera, and Epocrates Essentials. These apps are all awesome. I would rather be able to get rid of the two softbuttons at the bottom, but WM5NewMenu is an acceptable alternative.

Now I'm just waiting on all my accessories to get here. I got a 2gig sd card for $43 on newegg. I've got a hard case and a screen protector on their way, too. I love this thing.

Any other recommendations? And thanks for the help from everyone so far!
