What is your favorite program for your PDA?
What is your favorite program for your PDA?

I am curious to know what kind of software people use and find useful on their PDA. If everyone posts some of their favorite programs I think it would be a great resource for the FT community.

I have just downloaded the United Airlines timetables, figure its good to have in the chance of a missed connection, that way I can research how I want to get home.

I use the AA timetable on my Palm Treo religiously. It's great for misconnections and researching potential flights.

Plays any media file I throw at it on an HP IPAQ h5455.

On my BlackBerry, I tend to use MS Live Search (as much as I dislike Windows Mobile, this is actually really handy--still in beta); Opera Mini (also a beta version); Yahoo! IM (2.0--not AT&T-approved but there's a workaround), and Google Maps. Any of the map applications are more useful on a BB with GPS. PocketDay is also nice but I find myself using it less often lately.

These are just the third-party apps--I also use BlackBerry Messenger (included) all the time.
