PDA software

Alright so I finally got my PDA, a Dell Axim X3i.

What software should I look into? Anyone have any recommendations of cool programs or games(or what to avoid)? Whats the best place to buy/download stuff?

Main use of this thing is for note taking in class + keeping track of assignments, but I'll probably start using it for more stuff over time.

Anyone ever tried out the GPS receivers on a PDA w/ mapping software?

I was looking to find the software you can load to tell you all the strip clubs in your area with reviews by peers. You should be able to get a wireless card and netstumbler for the PDA and do some war walking on campus.

This is the best place to go for all your Pocket PC needs:

This is the best movie player for your Pocket PC:

Get an SD bluetooth card from here:

And this will be your best GPS application:

Finally you will need one of these:

Total should bring you in right around $1000.

hahaha

I swore I would never buy another Dell product again after dealing with their customer service a while back. But their products are the best on the market for the money now I think. Money talks...

Their customer service got a lot better too.

This PDA was the highest rated for the $$ I wanted to spend with the features I wanted (by cnet.com)

I also LOVE my Dell Jukebox mp3 player. I have 45 full albums stored on it and I am only using 18% of the memory. It kicks the crap out of an ipod.



Thanks Kensteele

I've got a few cards laying around already...a 256, 128, and a 64. Should be fine for now. Damn thats a lot of storage on a tiny card though.


Thanks for the info.
