Good Stuff for Pocket PCs

Hey, y'all! This good stuff I summarized or downloaded from other Pocket PC websites. As far as I know, this stuff is all freely sharable (movie trailers are considered commercials, and thus their propogation is free advertising). If not, please let me know if you are the proper owner, and I'll take your piece down immediately. I'm just trying to share my bandwidth for spreading a little joy, until such time as my server insists that the traffic is too high :) !
Pocket PC Links This Section lists links to my favorite Pocket PC websites.

Pocket Movies

PocketMovies are MPEGs optimized for Pocket PC viewing. The ones on my site are for my Dell Axim, or other PCs with 320x240 resolution.

You can get PocketTV (which plays these MPEGS) free from: http://www.mpegtv.com/wince/pockettv/

Pocket TV Software Link to the latest version of software that allows you to view the movies in MPG format (from Official PocketTV Site)
Pocket TV Software Copy of PocketTV software that allows you to view the movies in MPG format (direct from my site; version 0.9.9)

To Download Movies Below, Right-Click and Choose "Save Target As"

Ice Age Trailer Ice Age trailer featuring the opening scene with Scrat and his precious acorn--what a complete crack-up!! I've watched this a dozen times: about 9.5 MB MPEG format
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings Trailer. About 11.6 MB MPEG format
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers movie trailer: about 6.2 MB MPEG format. This one is lower resolution than the Fellowship one.
Matrix Reloaded Matrix Reloaded movie trailer: about 3.3 MB MPEG Format

 

 

These are ready-to-view on Microsoft Media viewer: (no need for Pocket TV)

Bring Forth the Ring A Highly crude (really) spoof of the Council of Elrond scene from Fellowship of the Rings. Very well done. With Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jack Black. WMV format 2.5 MB
Triumph the Insult Dog Conan O'Brien's "Triumph the Insult Dog" takes on Star Wars Fans: A semi-crude 10 minute dressing-down of dozens of Star Wars fans awaiting the premier of Attack of the Clones. Completely hysterical. WMV format 11.7 MB

 

 

 

 

Pocket PC Themes

Here are a few PocketPC themes I like. You have to copy these onto your PocketPC directly into the My Documents directory. You can't put them in a subfolder, for some reason.

By the way, these pics are actual photos of my Axim with these different themes loaded on. The resolution of the theme pics looks better in real life.

  1. Right-Click and save to download.
  2. Then put into "My Documents" folder of PocketPC.
  3. Then if you double-click one of them (they're all "tsk" files), Pocket PC Windows will allow you to pick which one will be your theme for the time being.

Eye of Sauron (Lord of the Rings)

Lord of the Rings
Lord of the Rings poster
The One Ring (Lord of the Rings). This one makes it hard to read the start menu, but it sure looks cool.
Ringwraiths (Lord of the Rings)
Crest of Gryffindor (Harry Potter)
Harry Potter
Owl Post (Harry Potter)
(no pic) Elephant
(no pic) Wallace and Gromit
