Your must have apps?? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

For me it's pretty simple thus far, which is why I'm kind of looking for more ideas.....
1. MioMap GPS
2. Google Maps
3. Opera Mini - BEST WEB BROWSER
4. Slick IM - BEST AIM CLIENT

I use my Kaiser more for business functionality and my favourite apps are:
MS VC 1.6
Agenda Fusion 8.3
Magicall
Newsbreak
Resco Explorer
Resco Photo viewer
Digital Tesx Speech
SBSH iLauncher
SBSH Pocket Weather
Navigon Mobilenavigator 6
Shubaroo.com Group SMS
Pocket Dictate
VITO SMS-Chat
SK Tools
Softmaker Office Suite
The above programs are great and Kaiser runs very smoothly

Aren't there already threads on this??
Not trying to be annoying, but no need to start more threads cluttering up this forum more than it is already...
It's a forum, on a developers site no less, not a make your own chat room service...

greek if you feel that way you should have not entered in the forum. I hate when people do that man. What a waste of a post, get a life. You remind me of the annoying hall monitor jerk we used to have in elementary school.
Anyway my faves are:
palringo-Messenger program
Skype
Audionotes-Records phone call conversations both ways because you never know when you are going to need it
Call Firewall-Block people from calling you, have only people in your contacts able to contact you, setup blacklists etc.
Pocket Informant-Calendar program best one hands down
SKtools
WMROUTER-turns your phone into a router
Microsoft Voice Command-Read you your email, sms messages as they come in/open programs with your voice

Are you serious? I thought it was confirmed that this feature wouldn't work on the Kaiser....

Well he's right. Its the first rule of the forum. Think of it as going to someone's house and doing whatever you want. Well your a member of this board, you have to respect the rules that are in place. If you didn't have to time to read it, I'd took my time and copied it for you.
1. Check if something hasn't been asked before
Some questions just keep popping up over and over. Please use the 'search' function in the menu above each and every page in the forum. Try entering a few keywords to see if your question has been asked before. If it has, please read the topics and see if you can figure it our from there.
(We acknowledge that part of the problem is that we never created a well-organized system of FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) documents. But then we're doing lots of cutting-edge stuff, and we'd rather build cool tools than work on perfecting FAQs.)
The exact topic and answers have numerous threads, about 30, for an estimate. Don't call him a jerk, he's right. Anyone can call you an idiot for denying understood forum etiquettes.

yes, he is right, but I think its a waste of time constantly post the same thing(use the search button, it was asked). I know its tiring to answer the same q. over and over (yesterday I answered on 2 equal q.) and if you dont like it ignore the question and the post and do not answer him to use the search.
But I agree on the steps(search and if u dont find anything then ask).

You know, for me, I try to search. But on this site ( and many others) I don't know how to search if my search needs more than one word. i'ave asked and no-one answers.
For example I wanted to find topics on "AE Buttons" recently. What I got was thousands of posts with the word "buttons". I don't see boolean as an option here (I use that on other sites for phrase searchs and am successful), and I've tried various methods with quotes, etc. with no success.
So, if the search engine/inteface were a little more capable, or if it is capable, then more intuitive or friendly, then search would be used more.
Personally, I don't mind much having the repetetive posts. New users to this stuff every day, and it's somethign to live with I suppose.

1. Resco Explorer with regedit/bluetooth/network plugins. Awesome stuff.
2. QIP for messaging (supports ICQ, AIM, etc etc) - freeware
3. HTC Home (gotta have it)
4. S2U2 - must have
5. QuickMenu - nothing's better than this launcher, period.
6. TCPMP or Core Player
7. Opera 9.5 beta - I love it!

You can use Google to do a much more advanced search.
enter into Google something like,
Code:
site:forum.xda-developers.com "phrase string"
If you put your string in quotations, it will search for the entire phrase.

1. total commander -> best file manager: bluetooth, network, registry, ftp in one place! and its FREE!!
2. s2u2 -> full screen caller FTW!!
3. igo 2006 plus -> best nav software
4. all spb products: weather, pocket plus, gprs monitor, phone suite, time, mobile shell.
5. FTouchFL -> makes every app finger friendly
6. im plus -> best messenger
7. coreplayer & tcpmp -> best video players
8. pocketmusic -> best music player
9. lcg jukebox -> music/radio/lyrics in 1 place
10. pocketCM keyboard -> best fingerfriendly keyboard out-there and FREE!
11. wkTask -> best taskmanager and FREE!
12. SkTools -> best maintenance software
13. QuickMenu -> best startmenu replacement
14. Advance Config 2.1.0.0 -> [first app on my phone after .net cf 3.5 ]

search
I can understand why someone would pot a question that been asked. I have tryied to search and search and search for information about issues on my phone and can't find the answer. For instance I can't seem to find anything about the s2u2. I had trouble and it keep looking up. I typed search and it bring up 300 posts about everything else. Not patient enought to sit there and feel my eyes cross over.
Or I had an issue with my battery draining, i did do search but there was nothing that meet my answer.

For me, its got to be:
Chronos - Very configurable alarm clock/scheduler
Run.GPS - As a runner, this is a fantastic tool to track time, distance, map runs, add photos, real time location - only on day 3 of 14 day trial but it was awesome on my long sunday run. Upload routes to website along with photos taken en-route. Plug in headphones and you get real time speed, distance etc read out. It can also navigate you on predefined routes but haven't tried that yet. Anyone using alternative similar software to this?

seeing as no-one mentioned it.
GsPlayer..... able to play any shoutcast radio stations.
Awesome if you have an inclusive data plan.
I also like Warfare Incorporated, Its quite old now, but if you liked the original command and conquer, you'll love it!
Slingplayer for if you have a slingbox obviously!
The others have pretty much all been mentioned Resco Explorer, TCPMP, Opera, Google Maps TomTom etc

Phone Forwarding?
Well, sometimes you can't find anything at all, simply because you just don't seem to think of the right search terms to enter (even in Google). So I'm resurrecting this thread:
I want to be able to forward my phone to home simply, and back to voicemail simply. As you know be default changing forwarding is a bit of a pain: press green phone button; then menu/services/options/call forwarding/get settings. Then you have to manually enter the number.
Any software suggestions to be able to ultimately press a button to have it forward home, then anohter or toggle first button to swithc back to voice mail?

OK to the hall monitoring snitch ^^$%$&&%$% and to the rest yes there are plenty of posts the same so what? Thanx to RWCOZENS I have found a program that I have been looking for for a long time. I just didnt know what it was called. So post what ya want ignore the jerks and have a nice day to all.

1. I suggest IM+ for IM or mundu messenger or agile messenger
2. can't help with podcasts because i don't need those.
3. RSSHub works for RSS I believe.
4. your phone has a built in email client of outlook
5. i don't draw on my phone but the Notes program could be a suitable freebie for you thats built in
6. your phone changes time automatically with DST when you have it ticked in phone settings
7. for video there's a TCPMP completed package around with all codecs for it except flv which can be sound on sourceforge(use google)
8. wardriving is a bad bad thing
9. your phone has standard picture viewing but you could try S2V or HTC Album
Thanks (very much) to all for the suggestions, to the "use google crowd"; i obviously annoyed you and for that i am sorry but the point of my posting was asking for recommendations.

Honestly this is the most intelligent comment I have ever read. If you want to find good programs, then search and get your feet wet. You will install crapware and find out you don't like it, thats the only way to find out what is good and what is bad. Thats part of the fun of winMo, its all about finding what works great for you and your phone!!.
I tend to use freewareppc.com (not to be confused with freewarepocketpc.net) and ppc4all.com (search the freebies), although most of the best freewares can be found right here at xda dev. If it's worth having, at some point somebody will have suggested or recommended it and posted a link. Only trouble is that nearly always requires knowing exactly what you're after. Good luck!

I suppose you want someone to install it for you, configure it, and use it for you too? You need to get aquainted with how to find stuff, etc. There's a zillion sites that are very easily found, but gee, I guess I better not say how.
BTW, you whining that people were being smartass to you while being a smartass is, well, dumbass.

Go easy, man. Not everyone is in the XDA mind set when they start. I'm sure first couple of people who told him to use google made their point. We all have been there one day. Now he knows.
@gaikokujinkyofusho: I recommend having a read through the PocketPC experts awards results. Lots of reviews, lots of good software. Not all free, but lots worth having (and buying!)

How about stop being such a n00b and read the wiki. That tells you freeware sites etc
a few solutions
I would recomdend using the windows mobile email app especially if your email uses IMAP4
its realy sgood can cehck every 1,15,30 etc
there is a realy nice youtube app you can find the link in a post or pm me if u can't and ill email it to you
if your using aim u can download the "aim for ppc" from aol uk its what I used on my wizad now I use the installed one that came with stock att tilt rom
Basic WinMob Apps
Gaiko,
You may want to back up a bit and begin by gaining some control over the OS first.
WinMob doesn't do automated profile switching (ring settings, backlight settings...) beyond "off" and "mute."
WinMob also doesn't clean up after itself very well. You will notice that, as you use your winmob device it will get slower and slooower. So you may want to begin with a couple of basic applications like ...
phoneAlarm (pocketmax.net), which lets you manage ring tones, alerts volumes, backlight level and time to turn off... (profiles)
MemMaid (Dinar Soft) which helps keep your device's memory freed up to operate all the apps you are dying to find and install.
I would also highly recommend the following...
BeyondPod for both RSS reading and podcasts. I have tried most of what's available. BP works best and is free.
ProfiMail for email. If you are using POP email, Profi is simply the best. The user interface is very straight forward and efficient and it renders html email better than any other program I have used by far. It also lets you store email on the card (vs. internal memory). ProfiMail does not, however, integrate with your calendar app to send notifications about meetings... The big player in this space is FlexMail. BUT, the rendering of HTML mail sucks - at best - and the UI is not at all user friendly (and I use this app for my pushed email account). It will, however, integrate with your calendar to send and receive notifications.
Opera for web browsing. Period! Pay version currently @ 8.65 with 9 promised sometime before the turn of the decade.
Calendar program. Pocket Informant. Period.
When it comes to where to find your apps, check the XDA store first. Then, I recommend MobiHand and the rest. I try to go straight to the developers sites once I have found them in the hopes that they get to keep more of the price of the app that way.
Happy hunting, Richard
Can I jump in and thank dgduris.
You are one of the few people on this site who has considered a question before replying with an easy answer.
Yes this is a developer’s site, but developers work best through collaboration and being considerate to the client / users needs. Who is to say that the OP won’t end up contributing hugely in one way or another to this community? I personally think there are some on this forum who seem to be looking for a fight. I would also hazard a guess that most of these types of people aren’t actually developers themselves, but like to feel big by belittling others in public.
I try to keep my head down on these forums in fear of reprisal, where as other forums make you feel welcome and people try and help each other.
Just my 0.02p

In fact its the complete opposite. You will find this site to be a wealth of information and everyone is more than happy to help, but alot of people (myself included) get annoyed when we see the same threads posted again and again when all people need to do is read the wiki or use the search option. These tools are there for a reason because they help people.
You will find everyone on here can be your best friend if you use the search option as all you do is create another redundant thread.
Dont take this personally as this happens every day
SlyTuk,
Thanks for the kind words.
I figure most of the folks doing the flaming need to get their hand out of their pants, go outside and soak in a little vitamin D (sun).
And I don't worry too much about them.
Once upon a time I was in Gaiko's shoes trying to understand WinMob after years with EPOC-->Symbian. I got lots of help from this forum. It is nice to be able to re-pay the value I get here as an end-user.

Must have software

Let's make a list of must have software for your HTC Touch Diamond.
Currently i have installed:
DivX Player
GpsView
NoData
PocketToolman
Total Commander
What software do you have installed? Let me know and i'll make a list of most used software.
Great thread. As I soon will most likely switch to WM (felt in love with the Diamond but then Touch Pro was announced and I think I love it even more) this kind of summaries will be extremely usefull for WM newbies like me.
SPB Backup, Resco Explorer, and ofcourse my own Ultimate Theft Alert v35!
Regards,
Carty..
1. Resco Radio
2. Calc-One (touch theme)
3. Sprite Backup
Feature request: It sure would be nice to have RSS feeds as a dedicated tile.
To me, this thread is a real waste of time. (Ane before you point out that I'm posting in it, I know)
Youre going to get a long long list of programs which people use. I use 4 Spb programs, Resco explorer, Coreplayer, PI8, WAD2, and WA3, and thats what I can think of, off the top of my head.
But you might not need percentile battery and SD-usage on your home screen, or detailed timetabling, or a massively customisable desktop.
Plus, some people are going to use Ultimate launcher, others Mobile Shell, others WAD, others ThrottleLauncher to customise their desktop, so youre going to get a list of a bunch of programs all doing the same. The same goes for backup programs and media players.
So maybe you would be better off saying what you need to be able to see on your home screen, and if you watch a lot of videos or need advanced PIM functionality.
And, this isnt a flaming, it's just this has been said before in every other forum, and every time I just think the person asking might not need all that, they mgiht just want a single today plugin or something.
But the one thing I'd say to get is a theft protector thing, Ultimate Theft Alert, and Where Is My Phone? (WIMP) are the best two.

The last 2 programs you said, thats what im looking for! Just things who will work out of the box, not the hightech replace your home screen software.
Maybe i'll try to make the list so that everyone knows what you need the program for and how it will look like. I also wanted to make categories so mediaplayers are listed in a mediaplayers table etc.

I didn't think of Sprite Terminator, but youre right. I might test all 3, and any others if people suggest them, on my athena. The GPS thing will obviously be different, but in terms of usability and stuff, would be good to have some kind of comparison. But this will all be on Thursday once my A-Levels are over, and thats if I'm not playing MGS4.
And I'm not really one for saying to the very few owners of a new device "will you test X program?" because they might not want their registry f**ked with a load of entries from programs they don't want.
So if you want things tested I'll be sure to test on my Athena. Its got a VGA screen too, but less RAM, so it's more for screen compatibility testing, than actual performance on a Diamond.
Rory
If making a list, it would be useful to write after the program name what it's for and what it does (unless obvious)...
I was the first and right now with version 3.5 (active development) Sprite terminator, WIMP and all others came after.. I also have a lot of additional features lined up for next release. Like, posibility to retrieve contacts, and so on.. Ofcourse remote wipe will be a confirmed feature on next version. (Updates free always )

voice calendar application

Hi all
Im looking for an app that will complement the calendar by allowing to record voice notes instead of text input when the calendar is open on "day" view.
when you hold down a specific time on the calendar, the voice recorder is activated and the Voice Note automatically gets recorded on the calendar date and time you are holding down, and gets added to your reminders/appointments with default settings and no more questions.
It would be a lot better obviously if it was translated to text first, but not necessary.
I was able to find "voice cal", very old and uninstallable on wm6.1 with .cf.net 3.5
and also "speerio voice organizer"... looks like a memory hog and i read it doesn't work right. Its also crowded with a million different things that are not useful.
I just want a simple interface to be able to use with one or two clicks or buttons in order to set up a calendar event while im driving or on the phone etc....
thanks
bump!.................
Hi Spiro,
any luck on finding that app? Cos i've been looking for the same, tho i would prefer that when u push the "record" button, u get multiple choices regarding where to place the voice note, where "calendar" bein one of the first. Then u just had to place it into the day and time you would like it to be. Haven't found one yet, so i've started to write to different application developers suggesting such an app. I'm surprised that they haven't made one ages ago. In meantime, if you should come across one, pls let me know.
cheers
anyone???
Do I really have to take up programming and write my own app?
I was lookin around and saw this
handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Calendar/VoiceCalendars-52540.shtml
I think this is different than VoiceCal
The one I gave the link to, seems lke it could work. Only problem is that it doesnt use WM existing calendar.
I tried speerio voice reminder and it was horrible! I dont know what some people are thinking.
All I need is a simple plugin to show itself on the calendars context menu when I "long press" on dayview to say "new voice note" and when I click on it it should have a HUGE red record button and a stop button. When you hit the stop button the calendar would save that as an event with the default alarms on the date it was created
the only problem I see with that is that the heading of the event would not be very informative unless one typed the info, but im willing to live with that. Or maybe MSvoice command could help there with some text to speech engine!!! (im not holding my breath)
Im using an app called "thumpcal" right now but they dont have a "day view" and I have to set the time after I scedulle an event on a specific date, but its better than the built in calendar BECAUSE ITS SIMPLE!!!!!
I dont understand how am i supposed to use a program like "speerio" while im driving when it has 30 f...n buttons the size of a neutron on the screen in a grey on grey display?????????
Does anyone know what I have to learn in order to put a little program together to do what I want it to do?
PS I also found some other interesting programs like "freenotes" that I thought was a good idea but I would like to be able to initiate that from the "day view" on the calendar (right click on a time on the screen and have the choice of a voice note or a pen note) so that I dont have to key- in the time that I want the event to take place
ummmmmm.....the link that I posted does what you want.
1.Make folders by subject name
2.Click on a folder, it then brings up calendar
3.Click on a day of the month
4.There is a BIG RED RECORD BUTTON at bottom of screen
5.Record your note, it is then stored for that specific day
Is this not what you want? Granted it doesn't use your existing calendar but hey, something is better than nothing, right
VoiceCalendars
Update*
I was just lookin around and found this app. I think it might be right up your alley. Very simple/minimal interface. Allows you to record a voice message up to 2 minutes and then you can set a date and time for it to play aloud automatically.
Voice Reminder: Download Cab
Heres the website I found it at
I hope either of these programs can help. I know how frustrating it is not to be able to find that perfect app!

Hey asofiker
thanks for your reply
I have an HTC Kaiser phone
I tried both programs you suggested and had the same problems with both that other users seem to be experiencing
the "voice calendars" displays a "the control grid .....could not be created" error
and the other program from the XDA member gives me the "An error occoured on sub_app_start.
This device does not support display power on/off Continue?" error.
I appreciate your help and if I find anything that works in the future Ill be sure to post here
Thanks again!
Not exactly what you're looking for but an idea: Agenda Fusion with its Notes Organizer and Data Linking features. Also a good agenda with lots of views. http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/index.htm
Pocket Informant 8 is the best Calendar and Contacts app available and I always install it to my wm devices. It has voice notes recording functionality and then some. Check it out. I have tried all the others at great expense (some provide trials) and this is by far the best one.
Regards,
MAC
I tried agenda fusion in the past and find that it falls in the same category as most of these organizer programs its simply overkill for a one handed hand held device with a 2 inch screen
Ill give pocket informant a try and post back
Thanks
pocket informant no good for this purpose either!

Which version of PI are you using?
Mine is version 8 and it does exactly as you require! It saves a voice note under Storage Card/Voices when you select Notes View>Menu>Recording

Is it ok that I'm completely overwhelmed?

I literally just bought my at&t tilt today, and when I bought it the guy I got it from suggested I come here to do some digging on modifying/personalizing my Tilt to my liking. Now, I'm somewhat of a computer nerd. I can work through most issues with my PC without having to call customer service or hit up forums or anything. I have no experience with pocket PCs or windows mobile however.
I've read the multiple notices here advising to read around first before asking dumb questions, but I have to say that I'm still completely lost and don't even know where to begin. I really don't have complicated intentions, I'm almost 100% satisfied with the phone as-is...regardless, I still just have no idea what to even start with, so I figured I would just throw that out there and hopefully get pointed in the right direction. Hopefully I'll be able to take it from there, but the tutorials, wikis, and FAQs that I was advised to browse through first (and I apologize if I'm just not seeing it, again I'm a WM noob) just aren't getting me there.
All I'm really interested in doing is changing my home screen. Other things I want to do I don't even know if it's possible to do so, or if I even have to download anything!
So maybe just one more shove in the right direction?
Try This
This is not going to change your rom......This will give a new look totally...I think you'll like it...Install it from your desk top
Peace
Mike
You should get a good start at the wiki here:

IMO You can't beat SPB Mobile Shell even though you have to pay for it, it's well worth it.

I agree here
pointUI
Wisbar advance (check out the skins for this app..)
If you know a bit of XML try RLtoday
oh, and search for "Ultimate launch" on the forum...
ummm check out the second link in my sig.
I'm in the same boat as you. There is so much information here, it's quite overwhelming. I want to get the most out of my device, but I just don't have he time to really get into it.
Well you have to start somewhere, so just say where you want to go.
Would you like to make the phone look different?
Would you like to add your own ringtones?
Themes?
gps stuff?
roms?
seriously look at the second link in my signature.
I suggest that you use it for a while to get used to it, then read, then try changing it. Just my 2 cents.
I'm guessing your question is more basic than the answeres provided. If you just want to change your today screen, check out the "Today" applet under "Settings" on the start menu. You can choose from a variety of default plugins, and some of them have options you can change (simply click the options button if it's enabled). As you install more apps, they may have Today Screen plugins as well.
DO NOT GO THROTTLE LAUNCHER.... i like the guy that developed it but it has become obsolete with manilla 2d, personally i stayed away from flashing for a long time but now that i have started i'm addictted it provides alot better preformance from your ppc, i would highly recommend it
my favorite rom right now is the garmin dk4 manilla just make sure you read up before, its not that complicated once you get the hang of it. biggest thing is make sure to flash hard spl before you flash anything else
Here's some advice from someone who has had pocket pc's for a long time. I am also half a century old, so this advice comes from experience and not theory.
Keep your Kaiser/TyTN II/Tilt, whatever it is, as stock standard as possible. Do not flash new roms etc etc. This is the cause of most problems here unless you are really clued up on this, which it seems you are not at the moment. I won't even try it.
There are many third party apps out there and in here which will not affect the normal functioning and enjoyment of your device. Most of them are freeware.
Today themes are dime a dozen, heck, you can create your own with freeware apps like ThemegenCE (Desktop app which creayes the Tsk file for your device theme and even TKCreator which is a theme creation app directly on your device I (Also freeware and more basic than the former).
You need Total Commander, a freeware File Explorer much better than than one shipped wth the device. Quickmenu 2.7 makes using the device a pleasure and hardly requires the stylus. This provides a task manager, drop down menus, controls for device utilities like bluetooth, wifi, soft resetting etc. You also need Mortplayer which is the best MP3 player and is freeware and of course TCPMP with flashvideo bundle for video clips/movies/flash video from websites etc. This all for free. Heck, here are even freeware GPS apps for navigation out there, eg Amaze GPS and Nav4All, or just go full hog and buy the best like TomTom. TodayAgenda is a Today Plugin for calendar appointments and is one of the best and totally free. S2U2 developed by A_C from XDA is a cool screen saver/slide to unlock app which is free and highly customisable with animated gifs as wallpaper etc.
This would be a good start for you.

MAC

Searching for applications

Hello. I have been searching the internet, without any luck though of finding the programs i want.
First, i want a program, like ShopSavvy is for the Android, where i can use it on my touch pro to scan barcodes of products and find the best price.
Second, i am wondering if there is a way to have Google Street View on the touch pro. I have already seen KDKobes Google Maps Street View 2.3.1, from our forum. I was wondering though if there is an "official" or "fully working" program, as in KDJobes program unfortunately, location-data support and GPS integration aren’t working with this version of Google Maps.
Third, i want a program, like I-phone has, for Drinks (bartender?), same cool skins and graphics environment maybe?
Fourth, again like I-phone has a program where you record a song on the phone and then it goes through the internet and finds you possible matches.
Please, bare with me, as i a m new and maybe i didn't have enough luck or "easiness" finding these type of programs i want. Yes maybe i saw some "looking like them but weren't afterwards the programs i wanted, cause their functionality wasn't after all what i was searching for and was mislead by their Title Name.
So if you please know any "freeware/ or have to buy" programs that are exaclty as the one's i have described please feel free to post and tell me.
Thank you very much in advance,
Chris
let's see
1. barcode readers:
i-nigma barcode reader
QuickMark 3.3
Aura - but donno if this still works.....
2. Street view is officially supported by the latest Google Maps
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html
3. didn't heard of such a program for wm
4. i know a program it's called Music ID
hope that helps try to search harder next time
search diamond beer for a drink app that turns your phone into a glass of alcohol , if you mean a bartender then just do more searching also the site Fuzemobility.com is now your best friend go there all the time look at everything there . if you still haven changed ROMS on your phone i suggest you go get NRG's new winmo6.5 build 3.0 ROM . it has alot of improvements over the stock ROM , anymore questions just ask me
Is there an app that uses the GPS to track how much you've cycled and your speed etc? I think such apps exist for the iPhone but I'm looking for something for windows mobile.
gotta love fuzemobility lol

theres an app called track my run floating somewhere between here and fuzemobility.com
Just giving you a heads up don't go looking for everything that the Iphone has for your phone. Most of the time it will not be there. on to you questions
Shop savvy is a great program. Our closest thing is "Barcoroma"
Google street view. I use google maps from NRG'z Rom and I can get street view on it.
Drinks IDK your on you own for this one
Song recognition. Well try out Music ID works great for me.
Repository
Where does everyone go to get there the PPC software?
I go to http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php, although its not complete list and new releaase of an application can take a couple of days to make it to thier site. I find the site easy to navigate and search. The catagories and rating system help for filtering.
about the drink mix
i suggest watching this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496880&highlight=drinks
perhaps something will be done.
