Nominees and Finalist: Best Software Awards 2007

The site seems a bit too much like its trying to sell me something, rather than trying to present the various softwares in an unbiased manner. They even have some package wherein you can buy ostensibly $4000 worth of their nominees for ~$150. All the linked reviews are from a select few sites I've never heard of; and "clinton fitch" and "axim site" seem to like everything.

I'm a first time Pocket PC user getting my touch in a few days, and I wanted to get a head start on finding out what the "must have" apps are. Is the linked site my best option for info?
