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.

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.

How To Hide Text In Microsoft Word 2007, Reveal It & Protect It

Sometimes what we hide is more important than what we reveal. Especially, documents with sensitive information, some things are supposed to be ‘for some eyes only’. Such scenarios are quite common, even for the more un-secretive among us. You want to show someone a letter composed in MS Word, but want to keep some of the content private; or it’s an official letter with some part of it having critical data. As important as these two are, the most common use could involve a normal printing job. Many a time we have to print different versions of a document, one copy for one set of eyes and others for other sets. Rather than creating multiple copies and therefore multiple printing jobs, what if we could just do it from the same document?  That too, without the hassle of repeated cut and paste. We can, with a simple feature in MS Word – it’s just called Hidden and let me show you how to use it to hide text in Microsoft Word 2007. It’s a simple single click process. Open the docum...

Boom, the startup that wants to build supersonic planes, just signed a massive deal with Virgin

Have you heard about Boom? Boom is a relatively new startup that’s aiming to build something pretty crazy. They’re not building an app… or a social network… or even some new gadget for the Kickstarter crowd. Boom wants to build planes. Really, really, really fast planes. Specifically, they’re trying to design and build a supersonic passenger plane that goes 2.2x the speed of sound. If all goes to plan, they’ll be able to shuttle people from New York to London in 3.5 hours, and SF to Tokyo in 4.5. Sound crazy? I wouldn’t disagree. It’s worth noting that the company is in the very early days for something as intensive, massive, and hugely expensive as designing and producing a passenger aircraft. They’re still working on their first prototype, and hope to fly it by late next year. But it’s also worth noting that the team behind the plane has some serious talent in its blood: the company’s 11 employees have collectively contributed to over 30 aircrafts — having worked on thin...

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...
