Default What programs are you currently running?

I just wanted to know what you guys are running on your 700w's right now. Just to give us some ideas on what to try.

That's a good question. I've been looking, but it's confusing to be able to tell what's been updated or compatible with WM 5.0. I'm also seeing a lot of software that seems to add functionality to WM 2003 SE and earlier that is actually built-in with WM 5.0 and isn't necessary to purchase.

Yeah I would love to know what programs or even hacks are making the 700w more usable. I love the 700 but I know it could be better. I just dont know exactly how. Love to hear from everyone else on this.

So far I'm just using the preloaded apps -- PDA functions for organizing my life and staying in touch. I'm also using it for streaming XM and as an mp3 player. I have a 4GB SD card that I load up with music, including subscription music from Napster, and take with me.

It's nice having so much in one device. I had a Blackberry 7100 prior to the Treo 700 and it's like the difference between a bicycle and a car. Sure, both will get you where you are going, but the car will get you there faster, with a stereo, and adjustable leather seats.

Default 4GB SD Card

Hi PeterCumbo, Where did you get the 4GB card and how much did you pay for it. I had originally been told that such things don't exist but after reading your post I found one from ACP for $249. Is that the brand you have? Is it working well? Where did you get it from? Thanks

I got it from ecost.com. It was about $230 with a $25 rebate. Working well for me, no problems.

Here is the link: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecsplash/...pno~601848.asp

Only other apps I'm running is Opera 8.5 beta for PPC for browsing. No more side scrolling with the app. A lil buggy, but looks promising. The other app is PDAnet for EVDO access on my laptop.

Man oh Man, I'd love to have a 4GB SD card, and knowing that I can access my music stores with this, makes it even more ideal.

Default Pocket Informant

I use Pocket Informant simply because it has a MUCH better calendar application.

As a longtime PPC user, I have some favorites that I ported over.

Total Commander (replacement for file explorer), Adobe PDF viewer (because Picsel does not work), Sprite Pocket Backup for obvious reasons, and Patriotic Darts just because it is fun!

Post Going slow...

...and I'm not automatically installing anthing that I had used on my WM2002/3 ppc's.

I too am a long time PocketInformant user but I'm giving Outlook Mobile a try.

I have downladed and installed the latest versions of SPB Diary and Pocket Plus because they provide tools to put lots of data on the Today screen. They work well but I still haven't been able to configure them to eliminate the Today screen scroll bars. I've asked SPB support for... support.

I listen to audio books and subscribe to Audible. I download books into their desktop ap and cable sync them to their mobile player. I use Juice to subscribe to podcasts and cable sync them to the WMPlayer. I use GoToMyPC on two desktops and discovered the mobile viewer ap for the 700w will be available "real soon now" (2-3 weeks).

Most of all I'm not assuming anything about how to use the 700w from my experience with PPC's.
