Well I’m now the proud owner of a Dell Axim x51v. Brilliant little device with all the features I’ve been waiting for in a handheld (WiFi, bluetooth, VGA graphics, etc.)
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
[ul]
[li]GPS software – iGuidance for navigation, GPS tuner for Geocaching[/li][li]TCPMP – a great pocket media player that will play a variety of formats and even rotate landscape to use the full screen (iPod video, eat your heart out).[/li][li]A couple neat games like Sudoku and Bejeweled. [/li][li]Pocket UFO – X-Com UFO Defence for the PDA!!![/li][li]Wififofum – a pocket WiFi site scanner.[/li][li]Pocket Skype – VOIP in the pocket[/li][/ul]
Hey, there are some of us. It just takes a while to read the SDMB on this tiny screen. I have a Verizon xv6700 (the US version of the HTC Apache, also sold here as the Sprint PPC-6700) which is a Pocket PC phone. So I’m on the same platform but with slightly different needs.
Microsoft Voice Command is excellent – it allows for voice dialing, which is a must.
I am trying out PocketBreeze, which reskins the Today screen and adds a number of nice new functions (like close buttons that really close, and alt-tab functionality for Pocket IE).
There is a version of Nethack available for Windows Mobile 5 as well. I am staying away from games for the most part, though – I have a PSP for gaming on the go.
I went with the Resco Sudoku, though I also demo’d the Astraware one. Both are good. I really like the different skins with the Resco version. It’s interesting doing Sudoku with colored marbles instead of numbers. Like this.
