Working stiffs like me are always looking for easier or more efficient ways to get things done. That's why I frequently download new apps for my PDA. While it's possible I could get by without my handheld calendar program, contact manager, and other apps, it'd be pretty hard.

One of my favorite ways to find quality software is to check out the most popular rankings on the ZDNet Downloads site. I figure, if these apps are working for so many users, they're probably worth my time, too.

So today I'm presenting the most frequently downloaded business apps in the Pocket PC category. They're tried-and-true tools for boosting your productivity.

AlbatrosSlides comes in at No. 3 on the most-popular list. It lets you review Microsoft PowerPoint presentations on your Pocket PC. I've found it's great for keeping up with presentations that are taking place back at the office while I'm traveling. (Shareware/Pocket PC)

Cadenza mNotes lets you sync up your Lotus Notes e-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and journal with your Pocket PC. Sitting pretty at No. 2, this download is great for Lotus Notes users who want to bring their information with them on the road. (Shareware/Pocket PC)

MortgageCalc allows you to calculate loan repayments, terms, and interest for major asset purchases. It's perfect for house hunters who want to figure out whether they can afford a house while they're standing in its living room, or for realtors and mortgage brokers who'll use it on the job. With interest rates so low, it makes sense that this is the most popular mobile business app on our site. (Shareware/Pocket PC)

You don't have to sit in front of a computer all day to be productive. These apps let you get work done even while you're away from the office.
