1.)Are there any programs I should install on my TP that can only be installed via PC? (Windows Mobile Device Center)

Pretty much anything you could want is available via *.CAB file. AS and WMDC are pretty unnecessary if the only purpose is transferring files.[/quote]

You may be able to extract the *.cab file out of the *.exe with Pocket RAR. If you meant running Ix86 programs, that's possible with an installation of Windows 95 on a Bochs installation, but it will be very slow. If you have DOS applications you need to run, you can use the mobile version of DOSBox.

Correct.

I would also suggest purchasing a bluetooth keyboard since you intend on your PPC being your primary computing unit. Also, purchase the OEM headphone/usb adapter if you do not have one. You will be able to charge the phone, plug in the video cable, and hook up a set of amplified computer speakers to your phone with the adapter. I would also recommend purchasing an Innocell 2000mAh extended battery for extended use. With this setup, once you got home all you would need to do is plug in 1 wire and partner with your keyboard and you would have a fully usable "desktop" computer.
