I want your links!

What do you want when you have a connected Pocket PC? A list of sites that are optimized for viewing on a Pocket PC. There are many portals out there, but not too many contain localized info for people outside the USA. As US based material is fine in some case, for instance the traffic information in Seattle is not as important to me as that in my own country... Other solutions that were around did not contain all items I wanted, or where not in my preferred format (one page with as little overhead as possible). So what I did is to compile a list of sites that I like, both from the USA and The Netherlands. This HTML document is located in the My Documents folder of my Pocket PC, and so I created my own offline portal. You can click the title of this post to get there. Just remember that this is still a work in progress, and not a definite link.
But while I was working on my links, I realized that the Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition is released world wide, and that other users from other countries might "suffer" from the same lack of a localized portal. Or may be you've found great resources that do not appear on my or other portals yet. Sharing that info might help others, and that's what this site is all about right?
So this was my idea: you post the links to optimized sites or mobile portals that you use with a little description. People could use that to create their own portal, or may be we could even host localized pages here. If we'd do that, what format would you like it to be? Like this, or a main page with subpages for the different categories?
