Here is the list of applications I am currently running on my T-Mobile Wing with Windows Mobile 6 Professional. I had to opportunity migrate my installed environment from one Wing to another (no issues just an opportunity to test). I used the latest version of Sunnysoft's Backup Manager (4002.05221) to backup the first Wing and restore it to the second Wing. It worked very well (it took less than 10 minutes total), the only thing I have noticed so far were some duplicate entries in my start menu. I fixed that by using file explorer and deleting the duplicates in \windows\start menu\programs. I am currently using the restored Wing and will report back if any other issues develop.
update 5/31/07: Well I spoke to soon on the restore, I am having trouble with my GPRS connection. It is not stable. When I reset the device with "Clear Storage" everything works fine. I tried the restore several times with different options but the symptom is the same. I don't have time to deal with it now, but will follow up with Sunnysoft.
Microsoft's .NET Compact Framework 2.0 comes pre installed on the unit which saves some program memory (although I wonder if it is SP2). I did have to replace the version of Windows Live Search that came with the unit with the latest available from Microsoft (see post).
The Sling Player for Windows Mobile 6 should be available late June early July, I am using the beta, however because of the beta confidentiality agreement I cannot report on it.
I am playing around using my Transystem iBlue 737 GPS (see my review here) with topographic maps on my bicycle . I am testing the Back Country Navigator application version 2.3.3 which uses Terra Server maps. The maps are downloaded on line via a web service. Using topographic maps is very different than street maps, it will be interesting to see how useful this is for me.
As I install more applications I will update this list.
