Your PDA or Smartphone can be all sorts of things besides a phone. There is a vast range of PDA software downloads available that can turn it into a weather forecaster, a financial calculator, a GPS navigator or a video arcade. PDA navigation software is the most popular category – so much so that it warrants an article of its own. This article will therefore concentrate on other categories of PDA software downloads.
PDA Utility Software Downloads
Elcont Weather is a shareware download that puts a 10-day weather forecast for over 50,000 worldwide locations on your PDA or Smartphone. The forecasts give current conditions as well as "feels like" temperatures, UV and humidity info, severe weather alerts and a choice of 9 different measurement units. There is a three day free trial period, and the full version costs $9.95.
MXCalc SE Scientific turns your PDA or Smartphone into a scientific calculator. The $19.95 download from SoftonHand.com features an equation solver, date and time calculations with US and European date formats supported, base conversions (e.g. decimal to binary) and matrices. There is also a comprehensive unit converter with over 150 categories and almost 3000 units.
PDA Business Software Downloads
Smart Database Viewer from the Cellica Corporation is a utility that allows you to view Access and Oracle databases and Excel spreadsheets on your mobile device. You can write SQL queries, delete databases and create relational tables. The software costs $14.95.
kWallet from KM Tech Inc is a personal manager that allows you to securely store monthly bill payments, PINs, passwords and much more. It functions as an address book and financial manager – the basic bread and butter stuff for which PDAs were invented. The utility only costs $5.99.
PDA Multimedia Software Downloads
DVD Catalyst allows you to convert DVD, DVR and PSP video files to a format that makes them playable on your PDA. It works with multi-angle DVDs, subtitles and closed captioning. You can select chapters and automatically remove letterboxing in order to play widescreen movies in full screen mode.
Soundz Cool is a sound manager that creates sound themes for your Smartphone. It works from your PC desktop and allows you to manage your Smartphone's sounds from there, so that you do not take up any memory on your phone. The software includes 5 pre-set themes and 24 bonus ringtones, but you can create your own themes and share them with your friends. You can even change event sounds that cannot normally be edited on your Smartphone, such as Menu Command, System Startup and Password sounds. Soundz Cool costs $9.99 from AIM Productions.
