iPAQ Software: Find it Online! Find it for Free!

As with any handheld computer, you can find tons of freeware and commercial software for your iPAQ. But did you know that you can find free iPAQ software, redeemable for points you received when purchasing your iPAQ at the iPAQ website?

To receive your complimentary programs, just go to the website and set up an account, then install their download agent. Your handheld computer came with a certain number of points, which varies depending on which series you purchased. You can redeem all or part of these points for downloads available on the official website. If you use all your points and still haven't gotten all the programs you want, there's a purchase option as well. Even if the voucher that came with your computer has expired, go out and try to get your freebies-the company has extended the offer before and may honor your points anyway.

And just because you've installed software from iPAQ doesn't mean you can't go out on the web and install other software. One of the coolest things about handheld computers is there's so much complimentary software available. Whether you're into games, office software, images and movies, books, or specialized items like GPS navigation, advanced calculators, and professional software for the medical or legal professions, you can find it for no charge online. And whether you prefer to use things that are standalone on your handheld computer, or you like to link to other handhelds or use the wireless web, you can find software that suits you.

So what are you waiting for? Go out and find the PDA software you need online.
