Windows Mobile Pocket PC?
I wrote a software application for my Windows Pocket PC Phone (HP hw6955 if anyone cares) for tracking and managing my fuel economy and vehicle maintenance.
I was thinking about making it available as freeware if anyone was interested in using it as well. Currently it's targeted at Windows Mobile 5/6 devices, but I think it should work on Mobile 2003 devices too.
It is able to work in US, Metric, or Imperial interchangeably and does some basic fuel economy stats including City / Hiway and temperature data. It is also able to record vehicle maintenance costs and calculate an operating cost per mile or km. It also has a reminder system for scheduled maintenance like oil changes and stuff.
Anyway, if anyone is interested just post a reply. If I get enough interest it will motivate me to write up some documentation and do a bit more final testing then post it sometime in the next few weeks.

I would be interested as well...
I have a windows mobile 5 phone (Cingular 8125) that I keep a mileage spreadsheet on. I am curious about this little app, though.
Thanks!

Not anytime soon. I toyed with the idea of doing a Java version which should make it run on more kinds of devices, but with summer knocking I know I won't be spending much time doing this stuff. Maybe next winter. Now that I see a few people are interested, this weekend I'll try to get the installer tested and post it. The wife and daughter are going on a Girl Guides trip, so that will leave me with some time...

I am interested (for when i get my Treo 700wx). I can also help with documentation and hosting if you don't want to put it in Sourceforge.

OK, finally after much tweaking and a fair bit of procrastination, here it is for those interested. Although this program is built for Win Mobile 5 or higher I found an issue with running it on older Pocket PC 2003 devices (at least using the emulator to test), so I spent a bit of time creating a work around so it should work on them too. I also created a web site for registrations because I thought it would be nice to know how many use this free software. You can read about it, download and try this out at my new web site:
