Usin your TP as your computer...suggestions & tips? - Touch Pro CDMA

So very soon, I will be moving, and when this happens, I will no longer have access to a computer. My TP will be my lifeblood.
1.)Are there any programs I should install on my TP that can only be installed via PC? (Windows Mobile Device Center)
2.)In case I find a program after I move that is .EXE only, is there any way at all to run those on Windows Mobile?
3.)Most ROMs can be downloaded on the phone then flashed via SD card correct? In case I take the plunge and get rid of my stock
4.)-Please- suggest some programs for me to use...I just bought a TV out cable in anticipation of the move. I plan on using skyfire to watch streaming video (Bleach/Narutoget.com ftw!!), but it can be choppy at times, so anything better than skyfire for that purpose?
You guys have NO idea how grateful I would be for your help!

Hey bud,
I have a few suggestions, the first of which is to buy a cheap computer when you move . It will save you a ton of hassle. The office applications included on the Touch Pro can be somewhat of a problem with editing, etc. The TV-out can be prone to lag. That aside here are a couple of other suggestions:
- For videos forget about skyfire. Use HTC's (or coreplayer) Youtube application to watch videos, including anime, the quality will be much better than skyfire. Or, alternatively, several people encode anime and what not to be viewed on the PSP...the format works very well on the Touch Pro. www.yes-psp.com is one such site. Try googling "anime4psp". You can also download an IRC client (eg. pocketirc) and download videos through IRC. Coreplayer plays most popular xvid encodings quite well.
- As for the activesync/rapi installed programs, I'm sure there is a way with a PC...not sure if there is an app for windows mobile
- Personally, I've tried a ton of ROMS. Each one seems to have its positives and negatives. EnergyROM has ALL the bells and whistles, however, be prepared for only a 4-5 hour battery life. DCD is great if you want a base ROM. Juicy has a ton of cutting edge stuff. Mighty ROM for speed and stability. I personally use NSFan's rom with touchflo3d turned off. It seems to have the most balance with regards to speed, stability, battery life, and includes a good smattering of "bells and whistles". Plus he some decent graphics drivers included in the ROM.
- ROMS can be installed via the storage card as long as the .nbh file is named appropriately and your storage card is formatted in the correct filesystem.
Here is my list of apps (not including what's included by default in NSFan's ROM):
- G-Alarm
- Coreplayer
- Pocket Artist
- Mobile FTP Client
- Mochasoft FTP server
- PocketIRC
- Beejive IM
- Skype
- Microsoft's Facebook App.
- System Seven (a free service that delivers push e-mail using imap-idle)
- WMtorrent (for downloading torrents)
- NSFan's Opera Browser build (available here on Xda)
- cleanRAM
- Total Commander (file explorer)
- Powerguard (battery monitor/logging)
- Sashimi (for easily restoring files when you flash a new rom)
- hTorch (flashlight program available on XDA)
- cHome Editor (on XDA)
- reStart (on XDA)
- Touch In Call screen tweak (think it's on XDA)
- Chartcross GPS Test (I use it as a GPS primer)
- QuickGPS (can be obtained from DCD's site)
- MyMotion (a program that logs your run/bikes etc with spoken feedback, and it allows you to save the logs as kmz files...which can be loaded into Google Earth. Note that this program will not function with Touchflo 3d turned on).
- Tom Tom Navigator
- Jetcet Print 5
- W0lf's Translator
- Clearvue Presentation
Hope this helps
