AllMyApps, with the support of Intel, have launched a helpful one-click online app installer for small-screen windows devices which looks like it might make a nice stop gap during the wait for the real applications store.
There’s no feedback, monetisation, rating or suggestion mechanism here but it’s a good first step for new UMPC and MID users. You install a small application which enables one-click download for any of the available applications. The service currently only supports Windows XP although it could work with Vista and 7. I haven’t tested it on those systems.
I’ve spoken to the developers about feedback and, of course, they’d love to hear from us so may I suggest that you UMPC users out there propose applications (and improvements) that AllMyApps could add? Lets help the new users. I’ll gather up the results and ship them off to AllMyApps.
Remember that there’s a Wakoopa UMPC group that a group of UMPC users use to monitor UMPC application usage. I suggest that UMPC users consider joining up. The tiny tracker runs quietly in the background and really helps us to discover new applications.
Allmyapps are at LeWeb this week too
My initial suggestions are:
- Wakoopa
- Twhirl/Seesmic
- Foxit Reader
- Opera 10.1
- WinSCP
- Windows Live Gallery, Writer

Interesting application, however the software listed is just basic software that most users would install anyways. I think a list of proper umpc software tweaks and optimizations for windows would be much better.
Such as ssd flash drive optimisers, wifi connection managers, windows enhanced write file tweaks and gui launch managers ect.

Ok here’s a few must have applications for Umpcs running windows:
1) Flash Fire (EXTREMELY AWESOME SSD optimising program to speed up slower ssd drives)
2) Magic Disc (for file/iso mounting!)
3) UMPC Scroll bar (for scrolling offscreen menu’s on devices that are 800×480 or not supported resolution)
4) Touch it virtual on screen keyboard freeware (always good to have a backup!)
5) Fences (Windows xp icon menu organiser and launcher)
6) Tweak UI for xp (microsoft powertoy)
For advanced users:
Tweaking the enhanced write file! (most important optimiser for xp!) Google it! Only attempt this if your prepared and know how to re-install xp on your device in case something goes wrong!
There’s also a million and one registry tweaks ect to boost the performance of windows. Google xp tweaks.
