Uses and Software for a Modern PocketPC PDA? 75
Deviant asks: "I just bought a new Dell Axim X30 with 802.11b and Bluetooth. It was a bit of an impulse buy and now I find myself trying to find out what I can do with it and what software is 'must have' for the platform. I work in IT for a bank where I have wireless available in the office and I am also a part-time education student. I got it primarily for basic PDA things like a calendar, a To-do list, e-mail/IM, taking notes, and am looking forward to getting a few good games for it. I guess my question is to Slashdot readers with MS Windows Mobile based PDAs: What software do you use daily that makes your PDA worth while for you? What uses are there for this that I may not have thought of?"

Something that would work over the net would be a real bonus too.

On the other hand, the E-Book reader 'E-Reader' [ereader.com] is also very nice, and supports palm, Pocket PC, Mac, and Windows. It's also quite a bit more customizable.
The only "open" ebook stuff I know of is the Open EBook Forum, which is really more of a vendor co-ordination.

You definately want to grab pocketnester [freewareppc.com]. Then you can play any NES game that you want
Also, check out MAME CE3 [mameworld.net]. Unfortunately it was written w/an older version of MAME, so a lot of the ROMs I have tried didn't work
