Windows Mobile extras from Microsoft

As a recent convert from a Palm OS-based Treo to a Windows Mobile 6-based smart phone, I am slowly exploring this strange operating system.  WM6 seems to do more, but not as simply or intuitively as the more basic Palm OS. 

Microsoft has recently updated its Windows Mobile web site, now calling it Total Access.  Once you create a free account, there are many no-cost add-ons available there from themes to wallpaper and software.  I found several color/graphic themes that are pleasing to the eye and enhance the readability of the on-screen text on the "Today" screen, which is the WM6 home page.  I also downloaded an installed Viigo, which is a neat RSS reader for Windows Mobile that automatically updates content for a wide variety of channels you are able to select.  It is a great (and free) way to keep up to date with news, politics, technology, or almost anything else.
