How Will You Use Your Pocket PC This Weekend?
Posted by Jon Westfall in "THOUGHT" @ 04:30 PM
Pocket PCs generally are bought and used for work-related tasks. After all, many of us have made the point to bosses, supervisors, and spouses that we Need a PPC for our job so that we can be more productive/successful/overworked etc... But with the weekend upon us, I thought it might be fun to see how we use these mobile computers in our off time (Assuming you get weekends off ;) ).
Personally, this weekend I think my PPC will get a fair share of use. I'm heading home after a week visiting the future in-laws, and with my fiancé driving, I'll have ample time to play Arkaball, DopeWars, and even Solitaire. Saturday I'm teaching a class, and I'll probably use it to get my email fix since I won't have too much time during breaks. If I have time on Sunday, I may fire up Audible and finish an audiobook I've been listening to, or maybe I'll begin preparing for spring by installing GpxView or GpxSonar for the geocaching I'm hoping to get a chance to do this year! I also have a few apps that I've been meaning to try out from posts here at PPCT, so I'll likely load them up and play with them. Who knows, perhaps my first Handango purchase in a few months will be approaching soon :)
So what will you be using your PPC for this weekend? Feel free to include links so we can all play with some new apps, and any tips you have on using your Pocket PC as a leisure (rather than business) tool.
