I remember the days when we had those small electronic mobile games we used to carry around and enjoyed them every free minute we had. Today, things are much different, and we have IPAQ games and freeware to mess around with. These are nothing like the primitive games we used to have.

IPAQ games and freeware are designed to make your ipaq even more useful and fun. The growing popularity of handheld pc's among travelers, students and everyday consumers means that more and more software companies and individuals are writing all kinds of shareware for these devices. Ipaq games and freeware are widely available on the internet. A quick internet search will probably reveal hundreds of shareware products available for download.

One of the best parts of using ipaq games and freeware is the fun you can have while traveling. Instead of just sitting around twiddling your thumbs waiting for your plane to arrive, you could be playing some great interactive games and having lots of fun. Another good place for your PDA gaming to kick in is during bus and train rides. These boring sessions can turn into hours of fun. Games were one of the first types of application designed for the iPAQ, and there are a great many games available that are tailored to the screens and navigation buttons of the iPAQ.

Here are some examples of great iPAQ games and freeware you can get for free around the Internet and download to your computer:

1.If you're a '70 freak like me, you can get iPAQ versions for space invaders, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Pinball etc. These ones bring back memories!
2.Another great idea is to get freeware that will teach you something new, and use it while you are on the bus, train or plane. For example, why not learn a second or third language? There is so much freeware that will teach you just about any language you choose to learn.
3.Interactive games of all sorts exist to be downloaded to your iPAQ. Many of them are iPAQ versions of the PC game, so you may already know the game.

Of course before you download any software of shareware, whether to your desktop pc, laptop pc or ipaq, it is important that your operating system software be up to date and that a virus scanning program is being run. The unfortunate downside of the iPAQ's popularity is that virus writers are targeting handheld devices as well. That innocent looking game could be harboring a virus or Trojan horse, but a good virus scanning package will quickly detect and neutralize it. This problem is of course of less concern when it comes to PDA's, but it's important to keep up to date in that area, too. Keeping the operating system up to date will ensure that any safety vulnerabilities have been patched before they could be exploited.
