[THE LIST OF RECOMMENDED SOFTWARE - POCKET PC EDITION]

Why I compiled this list when there are a lot of online software catalogs? The reason why I made this list is simple - I'm an independent developer and I know how difficult it is to promote a really worthy product nowdays. Many software catalogs, download.com being the most popular of them, belong to huge commercial organizations like CNET or ZDNET. They are not just good souls willing to help you select best software. Their task is more utilitarian - to make money for themselves! All their "highly recommended", "top-rated" and other captions of the kind mostly has nothing to do with the software quality: the developer of a product just pays them a fee to be promoted during a week, month, year and so on. So if you see a few highlited software headers at the top of the list, it doesn't mean that these items are really better than other ones, it only means that the software representatives took a decision to pay some money to the catalog owners to be promoted. How does this affect us, users, you wonder? It's simple - we are foisted mediocre yet expensive software while really outstanding and sometimes free programs are shown on the 50th or 100th position of the catalog, so you may never find them to download and try. Is is unfair? I think, it is. There are a lot of good freeware programs that can really compete with shareware in terms of quality, and of course, their developers will never pay to be promoted in Internet. There are also good shareware projects developed by independent programmers who just cannot compete with huge corporations in this game. This list is quite fair: the software developers didn't pay me anything to be listed here, this is only my choice based on my own experience. I used this soft and I liked it, so I can tell you it's worth trying. I will expand this list when I find other useful and outstanding programs, but don't ask me to add this or that program - I just won't do it - it's not an ordinary software promotion catalog, this list is intended to help beginners find good software for everyday use. So, let's begin. Note: if a certain version is mentioned, it means that further versions became less handy and too hulk and complicated, so it's not worth to install the latest versions (unfortunately, it's often the case when the programmer has no new ideas to improve the product but has to add something new to release a new version and increase sales).
