"There you are, waiting with nowhere to go and nothing constructive to do. After you finish your Snickers, what do you do... what DO you do? If you have your Windows Mobile device on hand with a good battery and a large storage card, and you've planned ahead, you could watch a full-length movie. If you have a very large storage card and DVD-to-Pocket PC 3.0, you could choose between a number of full-length movies to watch. We couldn't resist checking out the possibilities."
Arguably, one of the greatest advanced features of the Pocket PC is the ability to watch full-length movies (with the help of the right PC tools and a big enough storage card). In my prior years when I was travelling quite extensively, there were a suite of PC applications (DVD Decryptor, DVD2Avi, AVISynth, HeadAC3, VDub, etc.) that I relied upon to rip from DVD into my Pocket PC. Nowadays there are a slew of "one-button" solutions that attempt to take all the menial steps out of the process. Makayama's DVD to Pocket PC software is one of these solutions. If you're at all interested in this capability, give it a read. Is there any of you who have tried DVD to Pocket PC? Give us a shout and let us know your opinion! As for me? I'm still quite old school!
