Some of our older readers might remember my 2007 review of the UsedHandhelds.com "The Great Handheld PC Software & Resource CD 2007".

At the time of the review, the resource CD cost $99.90 USD (£77.50 GBP), which represented good value for the software that was included. Back in 2007, this was a bargain for what you were getting as the individual retail price of the programs on the CD cost over $300 USD (£230 GBP). It became even more of an unmissable offer because it would soon become the only way to purchase the much lauded SoftMaker TextMaker 2002 and PlanMaker 2004 word processor and spread sheet applications for the Handheld PC.

In addition to SoftMaker Office, the Resource CD also contains fully licensed versions of the following software applications:

• BizCalc 4.07
• dBExplorer 1.6
• DeInstaller HPC
• DVD Catalyst GT
• HPC Notes 4.3d Pro
• HPC Spell 2.6
• Kai's Access Manager
• Lextionary
• MBA-Calc
• PocketBible 2.0.0.31
• PocketDOS 1.11
• Pocket On-Schedule 6.0
• ScreenCapture Utility

Along with much, much more.


Here in 2019, not only is the Resource CD still available from UsedHandhelds.com, but it represents the only way to legally obtain much of the software on the list. Better still, that $99.90 price tag has been reduced to $39.95 (£31.50 GBP).

If you are new to the community and are looking to get hold of some great software, are looking for a good value deal or felt that the original price was too high the first time around. Click through to UsedHandhelds.com from my review to learn more and to purchase your copy.
