[From Hans] Canada's Globe and Mail takes a look at some of the best Windows Mobile applications for those of you with Win Mob Treo devices. "A machine is only as smart as the software it runs, and with the growing trend toward smart phones — mobiles with an operating system capable of running software applications, like on a laptop or desktop — there's a boundless buffet of applications from which to choose.
But mobile operating systems come in many different flavours: Apple's iPhone, Microsoft's Windows Mobile, Google's open-source Android, the consortium led by Nokia pushing Symbian, Java-based phones and still some others.
Because of this, any list of popular software is going to be coloured by the operating system for which it is designed. Handango.com, for example, lists 17,859 titles for Windows Mobile alone. And, according to Microsoft, the most popular add-on applications are more about fun than business. So here are the Top Ten downloadable applications for the Windows Mobile smart phone. Unfortunately, not all titles work in Canada because of lack of carrier support. Perhaps that will change as other players get into the wireless business. They're included here as an example of what's driving the market." Globe and Mail for the full read.
