Free compact software for pda

The Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP2 Redistributable contains the common language runtime and class libraries built for the .NET Compact Framework. In addition to supporting version 2.0, it also supports applications developed for version 1.0 and service pack releases before version 2.0.
Important: This redistributable enables running .NET Compact Framework applications on the Pocket PC, Pocket PC Phone Edition, Smartphone, and other Windows CE powered devices. To develop .NET Compact Framework applications, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SDK are required.
This package uses ActiveSync 4.0 and up to update the device, see the Windows Mobile Center for more information. Be sure to dock your device first before running NETCFSetupv2.msi. If your device is not docked, ActiveSync will store the CAB file until the time when you dock your device. Those not using ActiveSync can run the CAB files which match the device found in the install folder directly on the device.
Enhancements:
- New Features:
- Service Pack 2 of the .Net Compact Framework V2.0 includes some new features in the Remote Performance Monitor aimed at finding memory leaks in the managed heap. These features allow you to take snapshots of the GC heap at any point in time and view the relationships between the live object instances in the heap. You can also compare multiple snapshots over time in order to spot allocation trends in your application as it executes.

Pomod is a audio player that supports MP3, OGG, WAV, MOD, IT, XM & S3M (music files that the older amongst us know well).
All the standard features are here (playlist, button config, reading mode) but the program is severely lacking polish: some options arent saved (suffle, repeat), various dialog boxes arent very asthetic and the configuration options are quite limited.
System requirements:
- A PPC with Windows Mobile 2002/2003 or Windows CE (not tested yet).
- .NET Compact framework libraries installed (by default on WM2003)
