Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones are designed to be self-sufficient devices with all the basics built in and ready to go, but no single Pocket PC can be everything to everybody. Fortunately, independent developers have worked hard to create hardware and software products that help you customize your Windows Mobile device and turn it into a truly “personal” digital assistant.
This article looks at some of these solutions. We’ve organized it not by individual products but by topics: a few easy ways you might want to improve your Windows Mobile device. Then we list some “no cost” and (relatively) “low cost” hardware and software you can use to accomplish this. We couldn’t resist adding a few tips to some of the sections.
Most of the software mentioned in this article was nominated for this year’s Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine Best Software Awards.
