Ever since I bought myself a pocket PC, I was out in the market looking for some efficient pocket pc programs. Now seriously, did you think that the apologies of a software program that came with the original packing were going to help me get along in life? Damn sure not. Which is why, I went on a quest for the most suitable pocket pc programs in the first place.
I had bought myself the pocket pc as I found that I was relying on my laptop for some very basic functions. Not only was it cumbersome, I also had to lug around my laptop even if all I needed were some email addresses or simple to do lists. A pocket pc, I thought, would help me make my life easier and I got myself the top of the line model. But I was really unhappy with the quality of the pocket pc programs I was given as bundled software. And was therefore on the lookout for something better and more powerful.
But there were several problems. Now, I really believe in using approved software. And I wasn’t going to load in any pocket pc software that wasn’t approved by the manufacturer. But look as I might, I could not find any pocket pc software that was approved by the manufacturer. All the software I could find came with a huge warning against loading it without approval of the original manufacturer and that the software manufacturers were not to be held responsible in the case of any malfunction. Now I wasn’t going to risk that with a new and expensive gadget!
And when I succumbed to temptation and loaded in some software that I found on a third party website, my pocket pc crashed. It had crashed not because of malicious programs or lack of care in usage. It had crashed simply because the memory required to run the powerful program of my choosing was just too great for its limited capabilities.
I realized then that even the most advanced pocket pc comes with its own set of custom built pocket pc programs for a reason. It is incapable or giving one the functionality of a full fledged computer. That was the mistake I made in trying to stuff various third party pocket pc programs into my gadget. Now I am wiser. And my pocket pc programs are chosen with greater care to ensure that both the pocket pc and my peace of mind stay secure.
