Get CodeWallet Pro for free today only - Mobile Minute

CodeWallet ProHandango is giving away free copies of Developer One's CodeWallet Pro 6 for Windows Mobile today. CodeWallet Pro is a password and personal information manager for PDAs and Smartphones. Need to carry around a dozen different credit card numbers, computer logins, and other passwords in a secure package? CodeWallet provides encrypted, password-protected storage.

CodeWallet would normally set you back $20 to $30, but Handango seems to be giving away a free program every Friday. The download process is pretty convoluted, and you have to give up some personal information to get the free download. But that's the way these things usually go.

If CodeWallet's not your thing, it's not the only mobile wallet application on the market. You might want to check out eWallet ($30) and CryptoCard (free).

CodeWallet Pro 6 will run on Windows Mobile 2003SE and newer devices, even though the download link indicates that you need Windows Mobile 5.

Mobile Minute goes back to school - using Windows Mobile on Campus

The Dog Ate ItIt's back to school time, and you know what that means. You've got a good excuse to try out some new software for your PDA.

Windows Mobile devices include some great tools for students, including a basic calculator, calendar, and mobile versions of Word and Excel. But if you want to get the most out of your PDA on campus, you'll probably want to check out some more advanced tools for text entry, note taking, and organization.

Let's start by taking a look at some applications designed with students in mind.

The Dog Ate It

Windows Mobile PDAs and phones include a basic calendar for jotting down appointments. But it's not much use if you need to view a week's worth of information at a glance. For day to day use, we're big fans of Pocket Informant. But for students, The Dog Ate It offers a great calendar with a few extra features.

First of all, you can enter a list of classes and times and they'll automatically be added to your calendar. For each class you can specify your instructor's name, contact info, and required textbooks.

The Dog Ate It also lets you keep track of your grades and homework assignments. There's a free trial available, but a full version will cost you $15. There's also a desktop version of the software which can be synchronized with your PDA.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
