I am using handyshopper on my Jamin (Prophet) --- also moved from Palm
phoneAlarm (a must with auto-profile changing and notification managment, billing etc.)
interWrite (international keyboard support - only one that works with hardware keyboard Think outside bluetooth)
AEButton Plus (just indespensible with up to 4 actions per button, that's 56 actions at the tips of your fingers; a small problem is remembering them all
Wisbar Advance
Wisbar Advance Desktop (just adds so much to how your ppc is organized and how it looks)
Omapclock (enough said!)
TCMPC (much better than WMP in every possible way)
I also use a bunch of progs I wouldn't call musts, but they are useful-
Resco World Cup 2006
Resco Explorer and Registry add-in
PocketLan
Z2Remote2PC
Photo Contacts
etc.
For lists, I think List Pro is the best thing out there... syncs with amazon for library inventory descriptions, and with desktop lists

Here's the description
Catalog your collection quickly and easily,
then carry it with you on your Pocket PC or Palm
Collectorz.com and Ilium Software have teamed up to bring you the perfect solution for cataloging your collection and viewing it on your Pocket PC or Palm device. The Collectorz.com programs for Windows let you enter your collection with ease, then Ilium's ListPro software lets you view your collection data while on the road, in the store or at a fair. Never buy duplicates again, you will always know what you own.
About ListPro by Ilium Software
ListPro is a multifeatured list manager for use on your Palm or Pocket PC device. Great for everything from simple to-do lists to a database for your favorite collection. Features include multiple column types, linked fields, alarms, import, export, unlimited note fields and much more. For more info: visit the ListPro website.
Use the Collectorz.com templates for ListPro to view your Collectorz.com data on your mobile device.
The two products are available from collectorz.com and iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.htm
I've tested it out, and it works very well. If you have access to a barcode scanner, you only need to scan your book's barcode, and then you get all the info about the book from websites and inputed in the fields of the program. Amazing time-saving stuff. You can catalogue hundreds of books in less than an hour.
Hi ak123456, here is link to some of the mentioned above programs with discount for forum readers.
Without a doubt, the best app I've found for the Pocket PC is SBSH's PocketBreeze (details here).
It is a Today screen plug-in that makes the default Calendar, Tasks, Contacts and Messaging apps sing by providing an intuitive interface and quick access to features. It can also work with Pocket Informant which I notice you already have. Spb Diary is a copy of PocketBreeze and lacks a lot of the customisation features.
Aside from that, I've tried Spb Pocket Plus and while I found it quite good, it slowed down my device and had more features than I needed. I replaced it with SBSH's iLauncher (details here) which I embed in the PocketBreeze muti-tab interface and find it much leaner and snappier.
Other apps I use are:
- Dinarsoft MemMaid
- Dinarsoft Handyswitcher
- SBSH's PocketWeather
- Resco Explorer.
agree on PocketBreeze but nothing on Notes
PocketBreeze is by far the best application (after 10 years of Palm, HP, Toshiba, Axim, SPV C500 and now Qtek S200)
Since Notes were uncategorized on PPC, I search for a nice application to organize them. Phatnotes is great but not on my S200. Support says it has to do with security and certificates. After installing it ActiveSync produces an error on synchronization, uninstall and everything is fine again on the best pda I have had so far.

Hi. I'm currently waiting för my Qtek S100 and now I'm interested in what software I should buy to get what's missing in Windows Mobile. I currently use an iPAQ, så I have some knowledge about common programs, but I would like to know what programs are suggested for the phone part of the Qtek. Money is not an issue.
Regards
Lobo
I use
Smart Filter,
MyProfiles,
Sunnysoft+ phone edition
PhotoContacts
Thanks for the reply. What are the programs for? Any other suggestions? Come on I know there are a lot of ppl out there
indeed a good suggestion. Maybe we can make a list of essentials.
My top 10 apps are,
1)Spb PocketPlus2 <--- Close button that really closes. ZIP support in File Explorer and many more.
2)PocketZenPhone <--- A phone profile. A MUST HAVE!! better than JGUI buggy apps (no hard feelings dude :lol: )
3)Dashboard Minute Tracker <---- Track Phone minutes on a daily/monthly basis. Includes configurable plans, alerts, graphs, call log export, and signal strength!
4)PocketMusic <--- Nice interface and it plays OGG too. :lol: i love my oggs.
5)Bejeweled2 <--- Drive me NUTS coz i cant beat my GF high score
6)MorphGear <--- Awsome Emulator
7)Bryht Flash Player <--- Play your flash clips and game in full screen.
8)CabInstl <--- Makes installation in the chosen place, instead of by default, as standard installer.
9)RealOne Player <--- ...must i say anything?
10)Hope someone will make a camera apps or games. B4 the magician, i used to own a NK6600. I juz missed those camera games like Mosquitos, Killer Virus and etc.

SPB only unzip. Pocket RAR unzip and unrar. RAR has better compression then ZIP. Maybe some prefer RAR rather then ZIP. As for me, i prefer RAR
Nice! Now I have a ton of new stuff to look up and try. If I get my freakin phone!
RAR files are sometimes much smaller than ZIP files, but in the worst case, they become same size as ZIP, but never larger!
RAR is much more better than ZIP, also it does support archive recovery & its possible to fix damaged RAR files easily. :wink:

Help will be greatly appreciated.

I Heard some things about spbplus, ilauncher and others. Now you as experinced users please advise me about which one I must install.
Thank you
I would go with:
Pocket Breeze & iLauncher
They are from SBSH and my favorite Today Plugins. Spb Tools are great too - but slow down the Wizard much more compared to the SBSH Tools.

I installed SBSH PocketBreeze & iLauncher yesterday & think they're great, definitely recommend them
Don't forget Resco Explorer today plug-in, i couldn't live without it.
Another nice thing with PocketBreeze is that it uses the D-Pad; I'm into the no-stylus mode. Also it allows tabs-- I run PocketWeather (very nice), Backup, and ContactBreeze. Although ContactBreeze is merely "OK" in my book.
Separately, I run LVM time, which gives a narrow Date/Time strip on today and also puts the time in the taskbar, screening out the battery. It's free!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084
I have the Rescoe Explorer today plugin. How does it compare to PocketBreeze? Is one better or faster than the other, or should they be used together?
I am a big fan of SPB PocketPlus. Its not free but imo its the best one around. Its got a battery indicator, the requisit today screen tweaks like icons, indicators and tons more.
Pocket Weather
Is SBSH Pocket Weather transferable between devices i.e. if I pay $10 now & install on my Wizard will I be able to transfer it to a Prophet later?
Rather broad question...
*muttergrumble* dupe reply
Rather broad question...
It's a rather broad question, isn't it? What is the best Today Plugin for what? Launching applications? Showing the weather? Showing your agenda? Controlling a media player?
I am using WisBar Desktop, You can make as much as You want windows
with shortcuts of programs like desktop version.

I use spb pocket plus and pocket breeze. Pocket breeze is a must have,IMO
I just found Microsoft's Windows Live Search app for Mobile 5.0 and was blown away.
http://wls.live.com
It works like Google Maps but it doesn't suck like the Java based Google Maps I found online; it features optional Bluetooth GPS support, street and sat maps, it's free, it shows Traffic, helps locate local items like Resturants and helps with directions.
Is this the killer app? What are your favorites? Maybe we can make a list for other people to find programs they'll love as much as I love this one.
Rob
Summary so far...
Kevin Baker - My killer apps have to be Resco Explorer and Microsoft VoiceCommand.
Brian McGuire - Must install: Newsbreak 1.2
Lucid - Reperion GPS app
Ellistyle - 1-Calc is a great unit/currency converter (oh--and calculater) & Pocket Informant is a must
SINC - INESOFT Address Book, one handed contact lookup
Dandie's list...
PocketBreeze - best today plugin for a good overview of your appointments, notes, tasks, birthdays etc.
SPB PocketPlus - Still the most complete collection of must have extensions for Windows Mobile (TastManager, Today launcher and much more)
GPRS Monitor - A must if you have to count your GPRS/UMTS traffic
PocketZenPhone - The one and only phone profile switcher. Feature monster!
SpaceTime - More than a calculator. This is almost a math software. Competes with the most advanced scientific calculators on the market (like TI-89)
Pebbles - Very nice and free tool to remote control your pc. Can work like a touchpad
TCPMP - The one and only video player
MortPlayer - The one and only music player
SKTools - Very good collection of system tools
SpriteBackup - The classic backup tool
BGjr - Another *BIG* vote for mortplayer here. It's the only player that I can I get to work completely
Mviana - Felxmail 2007
lajson - I would higly recomend GSPlayer for mp3 and acc audio and internet radio station lissening with a tons of settings and equalizer
srmz - Another set of great applications from Softmaker which is Textmaker (Word Processor) and Planmaker (Spreadsheet).
music man - GoodLink - exchange server sync
wwwes - mapopolis GPS app, pocket stars - very nice star chart software
armedmetallica - Jetware Hands-free Extension provides additional functionality to the built-in Windows Mobile support for the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile
hotnan - Cash Organizer
dny238 - Windows Live Messenger Beta this app fixes all my problems syncing with Hotmail
I've stopped maintaining the above list...
Look here instead. Keep adding to this post, or add your stuff to the Wiki instead. I like the Forum's email alert feature.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Must_have_tools
i cant wait to give this a better shot tomorrow, this thing looks freaking awesome!!! i wish iguidance would give real time traffic updates like this
It's also very fast and works so much better than Virtual Earth Mobile, particularly when searching for something.
i wonder who made this program.. its to good of quality for a MS product but then again i havent given it a full trial yet...

The only issues I have had with it are related to the GPS connectivity and occasional lockups.
If I leave it running while I go into a store, frequently when i return to the car I can't get it to start communicating with the GPS again without quitting the entire application and starting it back up. Seems like simply unchecking GPS and rechecking from the Menu should do the job.
No other killer apps out there?
Rob
My killer apps have to be Resco Explorer and Microsoft VoiceCommand.
Resco Explorer... easy viewing of available memory, quick access to a (much better than the built in) file explorer, and a nice registry editor.
Microsoft Voice Command... fantastic! Never before have I used voice recognition that works so well, and doesn't require training!!
Follow my software reviews here at the Generic forum; there're a lot of killer apps I've reviewed.
Just tried WLS and you are correct - it is absolutely brilliant! What an amazing piece of software. Kudos for finding it.
Which Browser
So -- which browser do folks use? I have been playing around with Opera Mini -- which looks good. Can't figure out how to reprogram my upper right button to select it though (since, as a midlet, it does not show up separately in the program list)
I am not sure if this would qualify as a "killer app", but its a must install for me.
- Newsbreak 1.2

Pocket Informant is a must
RE: Windows Live Search Mobile
How the heck do I enter specific addresses for directions? It only lets me get directions from city to city, no directions to specific streets.
edit: I'm not using a GPS and I was testing on Wifi btw. I guess I'll try it out using Edge tomorrow at work, I get a weak GPRS connection at home and can barely connect.
Also, some searches seem to work, other searches don't. Maybe it'll work better over cellular data
I am a big fan of "INESOFT Address Book". Its fantastic to be able to look up contacts with one hand, and be able to choose to SMS them or call them with one hand and have big picture displays with clear big buttons when you get phone calls from people. Integrates perfectly and is by far the best thing i've installed on my Pocket PC.
I can now call, look up, and get around most of my communicating hickups i was experiencing before with 1 hand. My pocket pc is starting to feel like a mobile phone again. YAY!
i assume this only works for the usa - just downloaded it and it looks very good however im in the UK and then GPS couldnt download the data to support this - is there a UK version?
Agreed, it seems to be fantastic, but I can't seem to be able to do searches for files anymore, has that happened to any of you?
edit: i should rephrase that...now that the original search program has been replaced with live search, how does one search for local files?
I can recommend:
PocketBreeze - best today plugin for a good overview of your appointments, notes, tasks, birthdays etc.
SPB PocketPlus - Still the most complete collection of must have extensions for Windows Mobile (TastManager, Today launcher and much more)

Another *BIG* vote for mortplayer here. It's the only player that I can I get to work completely with my iTech R35 clip (full A2DP and AVRCP) on the SPV M3100 (TyTN). Combine it with a large memory card and the QVista skin and you have an unbeatable combination.
Unfortunately Mort's website forum database appears to have died a death right now, so I can't post links. However the version I'm using is 3.31RC6, and it works a treat.

Hello all,
I've just bought a shiny new Ameo. Overall, I'm very happy with it. The keyboard is a bit of a challenge when your hands cover as much acreage as mine, but im sure i'll get used to its idiosyncratic layout and lack of num lock. in time.
So now i'm thinking about which apps to install.
What do you guys think are the essentials? The apps my ameo shouldn't be without?
cheers!
Tomtom 6
MS Live Search
Voice Command
live search - good shout. installed it.
built in gps; i'm lovin it.
Coreplayer (check the other threads in this forum for how to setup) for DivX/XVid playback.
iGo2006 (instead of TomTom6, it's much better ;-) ).
Avantgo client for News/RSS.
Mobipocket Reader for Books.
Also:
AEB Buttons 2.5.2
WM6 Remote Desktop
Skype
Some that I forgot because I'm so used to them being there:
SPB Diary 2.0
SPB Weather
SPB Time
Skype^^ - definately - the VOIP functions of skype actually work using the Athena, the processor in the Wizard wasn't quite good enough.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned ozVGA or MrTrueVGA.
It HAS to be the first thing you install (I prefer ozVGA), closely followed by VJBigPhone and WA2.
Then of course it all depends on what you do with the device, or intend to do.
I really like coreplayer, Resco Explorer and the reg. edit addon
I wouldn't mind some suggestions for an instant messaging program that handles both MSN messenger and Google talk. IM+ 4.33 and 4.35 keeps crashing for me.
Edit: As for num lock. Yes you can do that. Takes a lilttle fiddling with the special button though. 4 presses in a row to lock the "blue keys", 4 presses to "unlock". A little silly, but you get used to it.
my apps...
- IM+ I'm running this without any issues.
- pRSSreader as it's free. I disable the today plug because it makes my phone run slow and i think sometimes lock up.
- WiFiFoFum.
- WM6 Remote Desktop, much better than the WM5 Remote Desktop client.
- TomTom6
- AE Button Plus
- Magic Button
- Resco Explorer (ftp addon, registry addon and works great to connect to other computers on your network.
- SmallMenu Plus
- Sprite Backup
- Total Commander
- VGA software already mentioned above
- Pocket Informant
- BlueTooth and Wifi icons for tray. Someone posted them to the Athena forum recently.
I want to hear what others have installed also. I want to add more and more and more.
Edit: MortPlayer (just an awesome and FREE audio player)
Best photo editing?
What's the best photo editing software for the Athena/WM5? Just looking for something with a lot of options when editing pictures.

apphoen...thanks a bunch for an excellent tip. iGo 2006 with UK maps is absolutely brill! I much prefer it to TomTom 6 and have already uninstalled from my Ameo. I much prefer the options in iGo but lack the speed camera warnings. Will test it out some more and if all goes well, will probably invest further.
Thanks again for a great heads up.

I use the default WA2 skin. Then I just take my favorite tsk and adapt it to VGA (96 dpi), and maybe change a few colors. I don't do to much since the default is nice enough.
I really like the look of iGo, so I installed it after a hard reset and configured it. Since synchronising with my Exchange account to get my contacts, it now loads up saying it is searching for contact addresses and performance might be reduced. No matter what I do, it then exits the application after around 30 secs or so. Any ideas? I really don't want to go back to TomTom!!

Christ! No idea! I'm not on an exchange server so it found my contacts fairly swiftly with no problems.
Sorry I can't help with that one.
Here's my pick of the top Pocket PC Apps:
NewsBreak 2.0
SlingPlayer Mobile
WisBar Advance 2
Pocket Weather
TomTom Navigator (I run 5.21)
Opera Mobile
HTTPMail Provider
eWallet
You can Google for all these products, or else see the list with hyperlinks.

Speed camera warnings for I-go are available from pocketgpsworld.
The only thing it lacks is traffic warnings...shame

I really like the look of iGo, so I installed it after a hard reset and configured it. Since synchronising with my Exchange account to get my contacts, it now loads up saying it is searching for contact addresses and performance might be reduced. No matter what I do, it then exits the application after around 30 secs or so. Any ideas? I really don't want to go back to TomTom!!

I use push mail from an exchange account and haven't had this problem, although come to think of it I haven't added a further contact recently. Will try and report back.

The speedcameras? Yes
Since this is both an unusual device (bigger screen, vga and lots of memory) and a brand new OS (WM6), I thought it would be a good idea to have people chime in on what applications they are using on their WM6 Athena.
Try and let us know whether it is a Game or Application, Freeware or Purchased, and if you can, provide a link.
Hopefully we can all help each other get the most out of these fantastic multi-purpose devices.
I will start.
RealVGA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830
First off, I love the huge VGA screen so my first search was for a great Resolution modification utility to get the most out of my screen real estate.
I have to hand it to Tobias, he has done a fantastic job with this one. Thanks a lot!
After screen res comes my necessary info:
HTC Home - Can't remember exactly where I got it, but it was from here somewhere.
eWallet - http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/ew/ewallet.php I love the way this application syncronizes my information with my desktop and lets me divide into categories for easy retreival
ListPro - http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.php - Another great app from these guys. I am very project oriented, and this application lets me create my own types of lists and then syncs them with my desktop.
Mobipocket -http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp?Language=EN - Still the best IMHO for reading all the books I want to read (that aren't PDFs).
wmIRC - http://wmirc.com/ A great IRC app!
TCPMP - http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/ Simply the best media player for our platform IMHO
What I am looking for:
A good Financial Program that Syncs with MS Money - I am trying Ultrasoft Money... I'll let you know how it goes.
Good Memory and Tweak Utilities - Have always loved Pocket Mechanic, but the graphics are horrible on the screen with RealVGA - looking at MemMaid
GAMES - I really want some good puzzle games! anyone that has any suggestions, please let me know!
Look forward to seeing what others have on their devices... Let me know!

My X7501 Apps...
Here are my apps... All are commercial unless otherwise noted.
AnywhereMap (aviation GPS moving map/navigation)
FlexWallet 2006 (personal data manager)
Mapopolis (backup to TeleNav when no data connection is available) Free but maps cost. Now defunct.
M$ Remote Desktop for running my server/PC from the X7501 (free CABs here)
Skype (VoIP calls/chats) Free
Spb Backup (backup/restore)
TCPMP (Swiss Army knife media player) Free
TeleNav (subscription GPS navigation; simply the best IMHO)
TheSky Pocket Edition (for the astronomy geek in me)
YaRPNcalc (RPN calculator for the HP geek in me) Free
Sorry for no links; Google is your friend...
OziExplorerCE - moving map application
CorePlayer - much better that TCPMP for only 25 bucks
Tomtom 6.030 with WWE maps
Blackberry Connect version 2 - my corporate push-mail system
GenGisCad - An AutoCad files viewer
Google Maps - Now it works with internal GPS
MemMaid - Quite dangerous tunning program for your PDA
pPod - A program that simulates a iPod in your PDA. Difficult to find because Apple put its makers into Court. Better used in portraid since in landscape mode some important key is left outside of the screen. (drop me a private msg with an email address if someone want it)
psShutXP - A program to reset/shutdown/shut screen the PDA
PHM RegEdit - Must have if you need to access the registry
VisualGPSce - Simple GPS application. Just show you information about GPS
WM5torage 1.73 - To use your Microdrive or MiniSD as a USB key. Use 1.73 don't install 1.75 yet since this new one has some bugs on it.
PPCFinder - What do you do if you need to find a file in your PDA? Running this program. Very useful when I need to find a missing DLL or EXE file.
Pencilbox - a program for my daugther to draw on the PDA. Great for your children.
pPod

Can you send it to me please?
