New User who loves the device

[tipiforme]

I have been a long time pocketpc user, those of you that have ever walked into a Franklin Covey on Broad St. New York or Towson Maryland have prob had me talk about and try to sell you one:-) (by the way i need a job...lol) but i have to admit, I love my new Sony NX70v its so friken cool, although i do like a few things more about the pocket pc, i see so much potential with the sony, and like all new users have some quesitons

What do i use to skin the bottom tool bar and the silk area?

Anyway to put a picture behind a standerd palm application view?

Has anyone come up with any cf drivers yet?

How do you set up a GPRS connection with Infrared?

What are just cool apps to put on the sony?

Whats the best Flash content to put on the device?

Thanks to all the reply.

AcidImage is the best picture viewer.

XCade is cool, it lets you play some Arcade ROMs in hi-res.

For some cool Flash stuff, check out this link:

If you are looking into skining your Clie, check out Photoskin. It can be found at PalmGear.com. This app will let you change the Graffiti and Status Bar area. Also do a search here for more info on how to do this.

For adding images to the background of your apps, there is a new program called Code Diver that can be found here (http://www.jade.dti.ne.jp/~imazeki/palm/cDiv/index-e.html) that will let you do all sorts of cool things. You can add backgrounds to apps, do full color Graffiti skins, and even change the font of certain apps and set up macros to run upon the start of an app. It's pretty cool, but there is no way to purchase it yet. Hopefully in the next few days, but there is a 30-trial do you can still check it out.

I wonder how long it will take when a new model comes out, before Sony gets called a no good company because of it:D?
