my PDA apps

my current PDA is Toshiba G900. My Eyes love it for 800x8480 screen.
I use the following applications:

• TCPMP player (the only full functional free player)
• ALreader2 (the only free all formats reader)
• mchat (a bit buggy, but functional)
  
• skype (but be careful as it eats your power)
  
• pRSSreader (reads russian RSS)
  
• RLToday (it's smaller than HTC Home and I can do a lot with its XML config)
• PHM Registry Editor (it just works)
• Total Commander
