some pocket counterpart. Unfortunately, the market is so littered with

worse, how you can possibly afford them all?! Enter: Pocket
PC Magazine’s Best of Everything 2005 Software Package.
Every year, judges who know pocket-sized gadgets best nominate and
crown winners in various software categories. Think of it as the
“Pocket PC Olympics”. This CD offers full registered copies of some of
those winners at an unbelievably low price. The package itself is worth
over $2400, but it’s priced at a mere $280.
But.. is it worth it? Read on to find out!

full versions of award-winning software. I will also review the Best
