Top 3 Sites To Download Windows Mobile 6 Freeware


wmHeadAre you a Windows Mobile lover? I am – I absolutely love the platform and I have mastered it (I even wrote a MakeUseOf guide for Windows Mobile). I am running Windows Mobile 6.5 now and I am looking for a good copy of 7 for my handheld now. But that is another story for another time!
Today we will be looking at my favorite places for downloading Windows Mobile 6 freeware.  My favorite will be listed last and not covered as extensively as the first two – this is due to the fact that it also hosts a lot of hacked applications that should cost money.
We do not advocate this at MakeUseOf and urge you to pay for software that helps you. It will aid in the development of more applications that will help you! Do you follow me?
First up is FreewarePocketPC. Head on over there to see a full blown catalog of Windows Mobile freeware divided up by category. They have a RSS feed and a search box on the home page for easier stalking and searching.

You will see the applications further down on the home page in a detailed view. Showing when it arrived, how many times it was downloaded and what categories it shows up in. For some products you will see a rating scale from 0 to 5.

When you click on a category you will see a tighter list with less details, click on what you want to download and you will see more details including a screen shot.

You can socialize the application, rate the application, favorite the application and of course download the application from its detail screen.

Towards the bottom of the page you will also see an embed code to embed the download in your blog or website.

Next up is Cnet. To view only the free mobile downloads click on this link or you can always use the normal URL http://download.cnet.com/mobile and filter the search yourself using our method below.

The homepage shows featured downloads with huge total download numbers – these are highly popular downloads as you can see.

This site also has categories. We clicked on System Utilities and can further filter by age and other search options. You can click on the Free filter to only see free downloads! You can also filter out applications that would not be compatible with your device.

When you get to the products download page you will see a detailed description, how many times it was downloaded in total, downloads this week and much more. You will see your screenshot here as well. Download the application by clicking Download Now.

And last but CERTAINLY not least is Xda-developers. Xda-Developers is my one stop shop for freeware, roms and everything Windows Mobile. But as I said before it can also have cracked or pirated software so check this one out on your own with the knowledge that there may be some shady goings on over there. But you can find any piece of mobile software probably ever created over at Xda!
Do you have another favorite site for grabbing Windows Mobile 6 freeware? We would love to hear about them in the comments.

Build Your Own Awesome Personal 3D Avatar with Avatara

Do you use social networks and want to build your own awesome 3D avatar? Maybe you want to send someone a cute cuddly image of yourself (kind of)? Or maybe you have your own ideas of what you would do with an Avatar… Well look no further than Avatara which I discovered from the MakeUseOf directory . You can create 3d avatars out of pre-set up templates or create your own from scratch. To start, visit Avatara’s homepage . You will see this screen: Click Get Started to umm, get started! That will take you to this screen: You see that you can build your own Avatar using an uploaded head shot like the Obama one above (just an example, guys). Or roll with one of their awesome avatars. I chose to start with a blank avatar by clicking Start with a blank avatar at the bottom of the screen. That takes you to here: I clicked on the filter at the top and told it to filter out everything but male characters and then I saw this: I rolled with Buck and continued. You need to click Select...

MoviePass drops pricing to under $7 per month, if you opt for the annual plan

MoviePass, the subscription service that lets consumers pay a monthly fee to see unlimited movies in theaters across the U.S., is slashing its prices yet again. The company announced today it’s now offering its service for $6.95 per month, down from the current price of $9.95 per month, when customers commit to a one-year subscription plan. That works out to a flat fee of $89.95 annually. The deal is a limited-time promotion, as opposed to a permanent pricing change, but MoviePass didn’t say how long the offer is valid. However, it is open to both new and existing subscribers – the latter who would receive a 25 percent savings on their current subscription if switching over to the annual plan. This is not the first time that MoviePass has dropped its pricing. When the company introduced its $9.95 per month, one-movie-per-day plan this August, down from $15 for 2 movies per month (or more in select markets like L.A. and NYC, and going as high as $50), it saw so many new sign-up...
