Handy (and free) iPAQ software (techy)

For the benefit of other iPAQ users, here's my current list of installed (and almost exclusively free) software:

Network tools



• Airscanner - wireless network tester (www.airscanner.com/downloads/sniffer/sniffer.html)


• My IPConfig - a handy IP address checker (sourceforge.net/projects/myipconfig)


• NetUse - a way to connect network drives (www.bizzdev.com/DesktopDefault.aspx...)


• Pico Webserver - a tiny web server (www.newmad.se/software.asp)


• PocketWarrior - a WiFi hotspot logger (pocketwarrior.sourceforge.net/pwdl.html)


• Windows CE Remote Display - remote control the iPAQ from a PC (www.microsoft.com/.../powertoys.mspx)


• ZTerm - a telnet and serial terminal (www.coolstf.com/ztermce/index.html)


• ftpView - a combined file explorer and ftp client (download from pocketpcsoft.net)

Games and distractions



• KidColor - a 'paint' style coloring game (www.freewareppc.com/graphics/kidcolor.shtml)


• PortaPinball - a pinball game (pocket.iwarp.com/)


• DockWare - a photo slideshow/screensaver (www.iliumsoft.com/site/fg/dockware.htm)


• ImageViewer - an image file viewer with thumbnails (www.pdamill.com/prod_vi.shtml)


• Tube - an interactive London Underground map (www.visualit.co.uk/tubelon.htm)

Multimedia



• FreqTune - a guitar tuner (www.frequencytuner.solcon.nl)


• RealOne Player - RealPlayer for PocketPC (www.real.com/player/mobile)


• BoomChick - simple drum sequencer (download from PPC Freewares)


• WinamPAQ - Winamp for... er... iPAQ (www.projecteam.org/.../WinamPAQ)

System tools



• PocketCMD - DOS-like prompt & related network tools (www.symbolictools.de/.../applications)


• PHM Registry Editor - RegEdit for PocketPC (www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit)


• Microsoft Portrait - audio/visual communication tool (research.microsoft.com/~jiangli/portrait)


• Windows Media Player Update - necessary for radio streaming (www.microsoft.com/.../playerupdate.aspx)

I use most of these fairly regularly - because the iPAQ 3760 only has 64MB of memory, it can end up all being used up on software, so there's no space to put data. The above software takes up about 13MB - at a push, I can uninstall the things I don't use quite so often, but there's generally enough space.
