PDA software recommendations?

So I recently got my hands on an N30 from Acer. Windows Mobile 2003 only, but I picked it up new and cheap, so I'm not complaining.

Now, I'm looking to get the most out of this machine. I'm talking productivity and entertainment. I'm thinking movie watching/picture viewing/recipie books/music makers/street maps.... EVERYTHING!

So, could people recommend some really great software that they use on their PDA's? Ones that work with 2003 would be ideal, but otherwise, I'll just hunt around for alternatives.

Slick UI's are always a plus for me, btw.

Oh. And everyone likes freeware right? Still, I'll look at the paying options, if they are a cut above everything else.

I can kick you off with a very good movie player. Don't bother with the pre-installed WMP - use TCPMP instead:

Ahh thanks for that. It wasn't working a while back, but the website appears to be back...

Any other suggestions from anyone?

Ahh.. that'll be interesting. Pity the Acer N30 doesn't have a replaceable battery, I'll be draining the one in there a bunch if I start up with some good old fashioned point and click stuff.

If you're musically interested you could always try Milky Tracker. Its one of those old fashioned multi-channel "piano-roll" style sequencers.
