What do you want it to do?? At the present moment I'm trying to get it to play movies. But not having much luck on that side.

Have a look on the windows or pocket pc web sites to find additional software for it.

With the right software you can replace most of your daily non CPU intensive functions including
PIM: Try Pocket Informant it puts MS Outlook to shame
Video: Try PocketTV
Audio recording: Try Audio Recorder
TV remote control: Try Nevo
Directions: Try Pocket Streets or Tube for subway maps
Alarm : try Travel Alarm
Picture Album: Resco Picture Viewer
Web surfing: Thunderhawk
Wireless phone: Link to any Bluetooth enabled phone for wireless dialing and Addressbook transfer and SMS
