Links to Pocket PC Sites

[Guest DylJones]

Ok then, nobody said no to this idea so I may as well start it off!

This is how it's going to work: I have now started this topic which will list sites which are related to Pocket PC Phones and are useful and good.

As you, the good people of Modaco, have a huge combined knowledge I will need you to help me out.

PLEASE post any sites that you know (or indeed run!) which you would recommend to others to use and I will update this list accordingly.

My main reason for doing this is that I'm reasonably new to this and don't know of many sites where I can get info, apps, games, ringtones, etc so you will be helping me and anyone else new who joins.

Some of these sites will cover multiple topics. I won't duplicate links, I'll just put them where they fit best.

Here we go then:

As above PLEASE post a reply with any sites you know otherwise this topic is already dead.

Disclaimer:

This page is intended for links to sites relevant to Pocket PC Phones. I will check all sites before adding to this list but I cannot vouch for the contents of any sites linked from here.

If admin could sticky this, that might be helpful :wink:

Also, if anyone has any advice on catergories or anything that could make this easier to read, I'm all ears. :)

Thanks all!

Woohoo!

1st update done! Thanks Mr_Man!

All links ok except the Lakeridge one. The forum didn't open but I left it in as the main site didn't open either. Guess it's down at the moment...

Keep em coming people!

Keep trying Lakeridge, as it does go down from time to time.

Hi Chaps,

Great idea for a thread. Recently got my M2000 and now that I've worked out how to work everything on it, I'm on to downloading software and games.

Just downloaded a Commodore 64 emulator from clickgamer.com. Means I can play some of the old games I played as a kid. Fantastic! Downloaded the games themselves direct to my M2000 from c64.com - Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy and Bruce Lee. If you're interested in Sega or Nintendo games, then try morphgear.com.

pocketgear.com seems to have loads of stuff.

There's also freewareppc.com though I don't know if it's any good, and of course the Modaco Software Games and Applications forums with other suggestions.

Finally, on the main Modaco site, there are a number of forums specifically for third party software. Not sure which of these are also applicable though to pocket PCs.

[Guest DylJones]

Updated with new info.

Thanks RussellH!
