Just got a Axim x50v - what are the essential software/accessories I should get?
Long time reader first time poster, thought this would be the best place to ask

I have just got an Axim x50v and I was hoping to get some advice on what are the essential apps/accessories I should get for the pda?

Also how do I close down programes properly?

How strange, except for the screen protectors I don't use one of those applications, seems it is really different on who uses the PPC for what reason.

I would list the important products as

eWallet
Pocket Informant
Pocket Controller
Batter Pack Pro
Phat Pad
Phat Notes
ListPro

Maybe
Resco Photo Viewer
Resco File Explorer

Yeah but it won't fit the extended battery. There's plenty of the extended batteries out here since the x50v is a power hog.

Thanks
