from the website, “Pocket PC Themes let you personalize appearance of pages Today and Start. They have for file extension «.TSK». These files are in fact CAB files for installation on Pocket PC, renamed in TSK. They respect the standards of files CAB defined by Microsoft. A file CAB (and thus TSK) includes in fact one or more files.”
Thanks breley!
Watch YouTube and Google videos on your pocket pc with TCPMP.
From pdaphonehome.com,
“For all you Tube-aholics, this is it! You now have direct, unfettered access to Youtube, Google Video & Veoh, in all their glory. Install the CABs listed below, go directly to these websites, and click on a video to play. That’s it”
Thanks pdaphonehome.com and mark!
Currency Converter is a program that makes it easy to convert an amount from one currency to another. Its strength is that it can search for exchange rates on the Internet if the Pocket PC is on line (either by “pass through” when in its cradle or when directly connected).
Thanks Mark Kennedy!
10. Adobe Acrobat PDF 2.5 Diamond Version
From the genius at XDA Developers. According to Aximsiter Gylman, ”
I have tried this out, and it really works very well! It does reflow even on files that are not tagged. It is inferior to Acrobat 2.0 in only one way - there is no way set it up so tapping on the screen advances to the next page, so you have to use the scroll bar. Also, it does not work with 2003SE.
Still, this has permitted me to read files that previously were unreadable on my beloved HX4700. Thanks for the excellent tip, Horgel!”
Thanks to everyone who contributed. There are a multitude more freeware apps. Let us know which ones you can’t do without.
