well it depends on how you use it
but on my own i find some usefull apps thant u cant miss
1. SPB pocket plus 2 (close button, today plug ing ...)
2. SPB trafic counter (connec/ disconnect from gprs and count the bits like an analytic tool)
(http://www.spbsoft.com).
3. PhonExt (http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl/)
for every kind of use these are 3 unmissable tools for the XDA everyday use
the i use My|phone to display SMS and last call on the today screen (not really usefull but smart)
i also changed the PIM applications by enhanced one with pocket informant 5.2 and the PIToday plugin
have fun

CHEERZzZzZzz... :lol:
Hi XDAII(i) owners,
I sold my XDAII & bought an XDAIIi for the integrated wifi & better cam.
Very satisfied, don't need WM2005 (tested on my XDA2 nice layout, but I can also set nice themes on my 2i and less battery than WM2005).
As the ppc toolz are for both devices the same, here i add my favorite ppc toolz list up till today, cause there is so much new software everyday :
1. Tomtom Navigator 5 Europe with plus-maps & poi's & checkpoint
Nice 3D interface, easy to use, best GPS program.
2. Hitchhiker 0.32 (freeware Kasuei Consultant Group) 0.4 still beta with some crashes - best wifi-connection tool to get online everywhere 4 free (80% of networks no WEP keys)
2. SPB Pocketplus 3.0.4
Best program with shortcuts to all your programs & themes, ...
3. Marsware Weatherpanel
Nicest weatherpanel that updates daily the weather 4 free on your ppc
4. Photocontacts Pro
Dial someone by clicking the picture and see the picture when they dial
5. Skype for ppc : free calls to anyone (if other person has also ppc phone with wifi & skype or via desktop pc & headset)
6. Avantgo : your daily newspaper with technews, movie, sports, actual news, register and free up to 2000kb news / day / different channels.
7. Mobimate Worldmate 2006 (ideal traveltool) updates weather different travel-locations, updates flight-schedules!, currency conversions, international measurements, and other traveller stuff.
8. Pocketdivx : ideal to play avi's and other videofiles
9. Pocket Music Player Bundle v3.2 : ideal for playing music and use your xdaIIi as a mp3 player (direct play from desktop ppc-multitask possible)
10. Anton Tomov Pocket Mechanic - to format SD card (when problems) or other cleanup/tweaks
Which essentials are on your lists ?
I hate it that msn has no email plugin or you have to go for the paid version. There is a 'photmail' program but still in beta i think.
Cheers,
Innovator :lol:

Which version oc Co-Pilot are you using on the Athena? How does it compare to TomTom?
As little as possible!
I try to run a new ROM on its own until I find myself wishing I had a specific piece of software. I often end up with a nasty pile of software by the time a new ROM appears, and it nice to see which I really need and which are just cluttering up the system. With so much space on the Micro Drive and the mini SD, I don't question whether or not to try something new the way I had to before I had my Advantage.
putty and opera 9.6 build 405 (there are newer but i cant release those at this time) are in the platinum(full) rom already. google maps and live search are also in the rom. wmwifirouter would be in if it wasnt for the going commercial thing. the htc rss reader is in there also. we have a new irc client in there(zsirc). total commander is in there. and a few other things.

Yes there is some really interesting potential with vueflo.. ever pitched this idea to A_C?
I could redo the graphics in VGA for our devices if you want to start a side project after AP4.0... Hell, I'll probably end up doing the graphics anyways... I'll post them on this forum when I get around to it.
Here's my list:
Pocket Informant
Resco Explorer
Phatware PhatPad
Egress RSS reader (I think the most customizable of all rss readers and it allows you to cache entire articles)
SKTools
PocketBreeze
PocketWeather
Phatware calligrapher (best handwriting recognition)
Destinator 7
Pocket Mindmap (great for notes and links to web pages)
PocketXPdf (absolutely best pdf reader-freeware)
WMWfirouter
EsmertecJbed midlet (full screen)
Opera Mini
Gmail midlet
Voipbuster java (for connecting two conventional phones over internet)
Softmaker for powerpoint
The last beta of softmaker is really great for edit ppt on the pda, without any conversation. The problem is it eats a lot of memory. Should be great if the famous and more desired rom ap 4 works better with it.
for me the last program still maintaining me using a pc is powerpoint, rest of the things are fine on the athena.

the photo stuff u might be able to ditch. htc album takes a bit to load on the athena bc of the vga but its a pleasure to use.

Hello guys, just to let you know that a new version of SPB Radio is avalible.
I already install it and listen music the whole day.. this Radio is super cool and is finger firendly.. the most importmantly things for me was that you are able to add your own radio stations so its writen that the SPB radio by default have over 1500 stations worldwide but i really dont care because i dont use them anyway.. i just make my own favorites with my streams i add around 20 Tech Progressive House the best Radios and some Hip Hop..
The performance of the Radio is super and is super clear just one click to open the app and im listening.. no alot confused menus etc..
thanx for the info.
Hello,
Unfortunately with SPB Radio, like SPB TV, includes very few Spanish language channels ... is a subject almost testimonial.
Sincerely,
hey there,
Looking for a free-simple voice/audio recorder for windows mobile ?
Uploading this as It actually took some time to find one, when you don't have one uploaded!
Long live freeware, and scr3w you to all corporations abandoning all the poor users of this OS and its programs ! There are still winmo 6.5 devices still being sold in my and probably many more countries !
