Must Have Pocket PC Software
Here is a list of software that I use on my Pocket PC. I’m hoping it will help other people get started with their Pocket PC’s. Let me know if there are any others you recommend!
- Remote Display Control For Pocket PC - Allows you to control your Pocket PC remotely from a desktop machine. This is pretty cool for working with your Pocket PC with a mouse and keyboard. It could also be useful for software development and debugging.
- Stocks & Weather Today - Great program that works with your today screen to show you the current weather and weekly forecast. It does a great job for weather. It also has some nice graphical icons for a visual display. I don’t use the stock functionality, so I don’t have anything to say about that.
- Pocket Informant 5.5 - My favorite program for managing tasks, appointments, and contacts. It has a ton of features, many of which I don’t use. 95% of the time, I use the agenda view. It’s gives me a list of the days appointments, as well as the tasks I need to complete. You can set up different profiles such as “Home” and “Work” that configure different displays.
- GSPlayer - Freeware application for listening to different audio formats. It’s main feature is that it supports streaming radio from the internet. It can be used to stream ShoutCast streams. It’s pretty impressive.
- Resco File Explorer - Excellent applications for managing your files. It has all the features that the built in file explorer has. It also has a registry editor. It’s a must have for development uses.
- Resco Audio Recorder - Excellent program for recording and playing audio. It supports direct encoding to multiple formats including MP3.
