Smile Just Bought An iPAQ - After Resources

I've just ordered an iPAQ 2210 Can anyone tell me about good websites/resources? I'd particularly like to know about any freeware/shareware sites.

One piece thing I'd really like is a decent bit of banking software. Something that allows you to put in repeating entries (SO, DD etc) and preferably allow you to set up names for oft repeated transactions (to save typing in each time). I currently use DPBank on my Psion and it is truly excellent . I just hope I can find something as user friendly.

Any other programs you find useful, let me know!

TIA
Iain

Oh, gotta wait until Wednesday for it to arrive!

If you use MS Money on your PC you can get MS Money for the Pocket PC

Nope, don't use anything on the PC, it's all just on my Psion. I'm guessing that I'd have to buy Money for the PC??

Oh, and had to laugh at
Money 2003 for the Pocket PC requires the Pocket PC 2002 operating system.
particularly as PPC2003 has been out a while!

Well if you have PPC2003 it doesn't install on it, I have just tried to install it onto my iPaq

GregH is the man you want - he runs http://www.pocketpcsoft.net/ I think - top PDA resource.

You could also try http://www.pocketpcsoft.net/, some good free stuff there.

There is an ISO out there (not saying for legal reasons where but a major P2P) that has 12,000 pocket PC apps inc. tom tom navigator, all games, apps, utils etc.


At least then you could decide which ones you wanted to but and license.

An iso is a CD IMAGE

When you copy a CD or DVD using two CDROMS one becomes an image of the other. If you want to copy this image as a file to your hard drive for later use you can save it as an ISO - e.g. FIFA2004.iso

Then if you have NERO or Alchohol CD Writing packages installed you can then got to their BURN IMAGE menus and create an exact copy of the original CD.

You may also find other guises such as NRG, BIN + CUE, IMG.
