Pocket Nav
The more
free memory you have in your Pocket PC, the faster it runs. Many people
don't realize that when they tap the close button, the application simply
minimizes and is still active in the background. To remedy this situation,
you can install a task manager such as Pocket NAV. This ensures precious
system memory is made available for running other tasks.

If you are uncomfortable with editing the registry for that added boost,
try fine-tuning your system with RegKing instead. This nifty utility is a
great hacking tool for novices. Choose to improve your unit's
graphics-rendering speed, change the system font size or even font type.
All these can be accomplished in a few simple taps. |

Why should overclocking be limited to the desktop? Turbo Tray lets you do
just that on Pocket PCs running on the Intel Xscale processors. Choose to
operate your processor speed at 100MHz for maximum power savings or 498MHz
for that added advantage. |
