hiya. anyone know any good & freeware (cab please):

1 image/photo editor - to edit diamond photos

2 gps maps/software (I use amzgps and google but drains download limits)

3 any decent 3d games(action,rally...) for when bored at work...

probably be better in "Applications" section ;)

i think you will be hard pushed for the Game, but there is a Windows Mobile verison of Paint (dont think it is actually made by Micro$hite)

What part of the world are u in? different places will have better/worse GPS software.

-edit- Paint Program is called PDAcraft Paint www.pdacraft.com (comes with Dutty's ROMs)

For PPC image editors, you probably can't get much better than these three:


Pocket Picture (Just-as-good freeware):

Pocket Artist 3 (Pay-application):

XnView (Free cross-platform):

Having tried almost every image editor on the Diamond, I can conclude that the above options are the very best available, especially considering the requirement for full VGA compatibility, photo editing, multi-format etc.

For GPS on the Diamond you could try TomTom7 which seems to be by far the most popular, although IGO8 and GarminXT would work too. CAB files for the applications and guides to make them work on Diamond are readly available here (legally) however you will have to purchase the maps (or search elsewhere if you know where - though it's not condoned by me or this forum).

For the Games and many, many other application, tools, utilities, themes and hacks you can really do no better than to browse the extensive amount of posts in both the Diamond "Themes, Applications and Software" General and "Development and Hacking" sections on this very Forum. Perhaps just spend an evening or two making your way through the threads back until May or so. You will find everything you need and be totally up-to-speed.

Also http://www.freewareppc.com/ is one of the best overall freeware resources on the web including version tracking.

Good luck with your new device - though I actually like the Diamond device, HTC Software and especially this community, because of the OS I'll be moving over to Android or Apple as soon as I can.

Thanks for the tips - will check them out right away!

I wonder: is it possible to install another version of CoPilot from somewhere and then use the maps already installed in the internal storage in T-Mobile Compact IV (CoPilot demo version)? Or are they protected somehow.
