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.

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.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Review and Giveaway

Few smartphones are as aggressively marketed as Samsung’s Galaxy S5. The S5 can no longer be considered brand-new — but it  is  Samsung’s flagship, at least for the next few months. With a gorgeous screen, a capable camera, a waterproof build, and a user-replaceable battery, the Galaxy S5 has a lot to offer… at least on paper. Let’s find out how good it really is. What Makes This Review Different There are about a million Galaxy S5 reviews out there. Why should you read this one? Two keys points make our review different: We bought our own device . Unlike many tech blogs, we don’t use a review unit Samsung gave us. We went out to the store and bought one, just like you would. This means everything you read here is truly impartial – we owe Samsung nothing. We used it for more than a month . Some sites rush to be the first to publish a review on a new device. That’s not how we do things. I used the Galaxy S5 as my main (and only) Android phone for nearly two months,...

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9000 Review and Giveaway

It has gained popularity not only due to its size, but its additional features such as a stylus and a larger battery make it a more useful phone. Samsung released the third generation of the Galaxy Note in October, updating the phablet with a larger screen and improved hardware. Read through our review, then join the giveaway to win the  Samsung Galaxy Note 3 !

Ex-Skypers Launch Virtual Whiteboard Deekit

Although seriously long in the tooth and being disrupted by a plethora of startups, for many years Skype has existed as an almost ubiquitous app in any remote team’s toolkit. So it seems apt that a new startup founded by a team of ex-Skype employees is set to tackle another aspect of online collaboration. Deekit, which exits private beta today, is a virtual and collaborative whiteboard to help remote teams work smarter. The Tallinn, Estonia-based startup is headed up by founder and CEO, Kaili Kleemeier, who was previously a Head of Operations at Skype. She and three colleagues quit the Internet calling giant in 2012 and spent a year researching ideas in the remote team space. They ended up focusing on creating a new virtual whiteboard, born out of Kleemeier’s experience collaborating with technical teams remotely, specifically helping Skype deal with incident management. “Working with remote teams has been a challenge in many ways – cultural differences, language differences, a...
