I haven’t tried this myself. But, it looks interesting with a beta-level of support for Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PCs and Smartphones.

Total Commander

Version 2.0 is freeware. There is also a shareware version 6.55a. Total Commander provides a rich set of file handling features, a text editor, and ftp client (among other features).

Here’s another freeware offering from Ilium Software…

Ilium Software Screen Capture

This free utility works on both Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone devices. It lets you take a snapshot of your screen either in real time or using a timer (for those apps that take control of the buttons). This is very useful for creating screenshots for documentation or bug reporting.

Microsoft is offering OmegaOne’s Invaders games (based on the classic Space Invaders from the 1970s) for free (with registration). You can find it at:

Entertainment Applications: Invaders

It is available for both the Pocket and Smartphone Windows Mobile platforms.

One of the oldest and most difficult to master board games is Go (AKA Weiqi). Vieka ported the Open Source GNU Go to the Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone.

Pocket GNU Go

I’m not sure how much of a challenge it is for Go expert. But, for the rest of us it is a nice to have mobile port of a classic game.
