Best Pocket PC Freeware - A Starting Point
Best Pocket PC Freeware
I initially started putting this list together for myself to take advantage of the vast amounts of freewarefor the pocket pc platform. While there are commercial software thatare more refined and can do more than a lot of the freeware out there,there is still plenty of good free software programs for those that donot want to spend more on software or are just not ready to commit tocommercial software. There are some pretty good freeware sites which Ihave listed in MyPDA, including pocketpcfreeware.com and freewareppc.com, I have based this list on ratings provided on the pocketpcfreeware.com website. I've included programsreleased or posted to pocketpcfreeware.com over the past two years andhave been rated 7 or better on a scale of 10. I'm sure that there arefreeware programs out there that were released prior to 2005 that stillwork on the latest OS, but since I have a X51v, I've concentrated onthis time period. However, despite that some of these programs mighthave been developed recently, there is no guarantee that they will workwith WM5.0. It might be a good idea to cross check with the WindowsMobile 5.0 software compatibility thread hereon aximsite.com. In certain select cases, I've included programs thathave a lower than 7 rating or were developed before 2005 because theyare unique in what they do and have received positive comments fromusers. This is not to say these ratings are definitive and are notsubjective, but I have used this as a guide for myself and this list.I'm sure there are plenty of very good/excellent freeware out therethat may not be on this list. The list below is not meant to be anexhaustive freeware list nor the definitive freeware list but more of agood starting point for the significant amount of freeware available.Other threads on aximsite such as Favorite Freebies or The Official Free Games List threads are good reference points as well. Most of the links are directly to the developers'site so that you can always click on the link for the latest version assome of the freeware sites do not always have the latest versions. Ihope some of you find this list helpful as it took a little time to puttogether. I have tried some but not all of the programs listed. I wouldhave posted this earlier but thought it would be good post for my 500thpost.

I initially started putting this list together for myself to take advantage of the vast amounts of freewarefor the pocket pc platform. While there are commercial software thatare more refined and can do more than a lot of the freeware out there,there is still plenty of good free software programs for those that donot want to spend more on software or are just not ready to commit tocommercial software. There are some pretty good freeware sites which Ihave listed in MyPDA, including pocketpcfreeware.com and freewareppc.com, I have based this list on ratings provided on the pocketpcfreeware.com website. I've included programsreleased or posted to pocketpcfreeware.com over the past two years andhave been rated 7 or better on a scale of 10. I'm sure that there arefreeware programs out there that were released prior to 2005 that stillwork on the latest OS, but since I have a X51v, I've concentrated onthis time period. However, despite that some of these programs mighthave been developed recently, there is no guarantee that they will workwith WM5.0. It might be a good idea to cross check with the WindowsMobile 5.0 software compatibility thread hereon aximsite.com. In certain select cases, I've included programs thathave a lower than 7 rating or were developed before 2005 because theyare unique in what they do and have received positive comments fromusers. This is not to say these ratings are definitive and are notsubjective, but I have used this as a guide for myself and this list.I'm sure there are plenty of very good/excellent freeware out therethat may not be on this list. The list below is not meant to be anexhaustive freeware list nor the definitive freeware list but more of agood starting point for the significant amount of freeware available.Other threads on aximsite such as Favorite Freebies or The Official Free Games List threads are good reference points as well. Most of the links are directly to the developers'site so that you can always click on the link for the latest version assome of the freeware sites do not always have the latest versions. Ihope some of you find this list helpful as it took a little time to puttogether. I have tried some but not all of the programs listed. I wouldhave posted this earlier but thought it would be good post for my 500thpost.

6 Force High Resolution v1.65 - Manyapplications display poorly on Pocket PC VGA as they don't support VGAmode, but use "double pixelisation". There's a work-around for thisproblem without having to go to "Full VGA" (as SE_VGA and OzVGA do).But this requires adding a little file next to each specific executable.
ForceHiRes has the same effect, without having to add the famous filetime and again (10k each time), all done from a System Control Panel(with a simple .cpl file placed in \Windows). You only need to add tothe list the executable that you want to force to hi-res mode: simple,quick & effective. Note: if you don't use File Dialog Changer, youwill need to download the gsGetFile.dll from the author's website andcopy it to the \Windows directory on your PocketPC.
