I wrote a few Mobile 5.0 programs for my own use. You might find them useful as well.

All of the programs were tested on my XV6700.

They can be downloaded at www.dtfreeware.com

I apologize in advance for the speed of my website. It is limited to 384K upload speeds.

You will need .Net Compact Framework 2.0 installed on your device. Download here.

Enjoy!

Update:

Downloading .cab files from the www.dtfreeware.com/mobile.html website directly to your device:

To overcome a problem in my Web Server that causes the downloaded .cab files to be interpreted as text files, I have changed the .cab file extensions to .zip.

After downloading the files, the extension can be changed to .cab and the files can then be opened in File Explorer and installed.

I have notified my web service supplier of the problem and they acknowledged that indeed it is a problem on their end.

They will fix the problem on the next release of software.

Sorry for the inconvenience this is causing.

Data Vault looks like a cool program. What is the default password to get in? Every time I try to start it, it asks for my password, which I haven't set yet.

The first time you use the program, the password is whatever you enter.

If you are not able to get in, go to the Data Vault directory and delete "DTDataVault.Dat" and restart the program.

Passwords are case sensitive.

Thanks for the weather app. I was getting weather from rss but this is much moe concise and beats having to launch PIE.

These programs look nice! Any chance of getting the cab files up on the website for us mac users???

Anyone who provides FREE PROGRAMS in support of forums like this is golden in my book. You da man!!!!

Sure. You can currently get the .cab files by going to the Mobile/PDA version of the website at http://www.dtfreeware.com/Mobile.html

The weather app rocks! thanks.

thank you dave

thanks for doing something i could not

I would love to add your programs but you say you need .net Compact Framework 2.0 and when I try to install it does not have enough memory to load it. And I don't see a cab file for it and I don't want to activesync it. I want to directly install it. Any thoughts?

I don't know of any .cab only installation. Quoting the Microsoft website regarding the ActiveSync installation:

"This download includes a CAB installation workaround for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices with low memory."

If you're looking for a CAB installer for the Compact Framework 2.0, you can download it [here] from my website.

Thanks Blade.

I tried the cab file for the weather program and it comes up with jibberish on the screen and it freezes the ppc. I then have to soft reboot. I tried the above and it Downloads but won't finish as it says it is not a valid program.....

any ideas?

You are the second person to make this comment. Sure enough I get the same results. This must be a PIE problem. I found a thread here regarding this subject.

If you have an email client you can get the files from my Anonymous FTP server.

How do I get the files. I am ignorant on this stuff. I do have wirelesssync, does that help?

OOPS! I meant to say if you have an FTP client you can get the files from my Anonymous FTP server.

Send me a PM with your email address and let me know which programs you want. I will email them to you.

Dave, just a thought but perhaps PIE has issues with the content-type header that some servers are or are not sending out? I am able to download and install a CAB file just fine in some cases and in other cases not. Perhaps your server isn't configured to PIE's liking? From what I can tell, PIE seems to think it is an ASCII file, not a binary file that needs to be downloaded and executed. I copied the file to my server and when I browsed the directory in which it resides, IE gives the "question mark" icon next to it instead of the one for a binary file. Thus, the content type is apparently not being set. As far as how you'd change that? Don't ask me, I don't configure servers for a living
