Suggest software for a new Pocket PC!

I need software for my new PocketPC. What do you use? I'm an experienced Pocket PC/Windows Mobile user. I have a new Sprint Mogul (to replace my PPC-6700), and I want to get some good software on there. 1. I'd like some kind of software that will check my Gmail for me automatically on a schedule. Does this exist?
2. Games. I want some. I like Bejewelled, but it's not free. Can you recommend good, free ones?
3. Utilities. I love 'em. Like a good PocketPC backup solution? Free? Tell me.
4. Has anyone seen a recent NES/SNES Emu for PPC? I have PocketNES, but it never worked quite right.
5. Window manager/app closer. I used to like one, but it's not good with the WM os's.

Finally, if there's any software I missed above, tell me. What do you love to use on your PocketPC?

Can the PPC-6700 handle AJAX?

PDAfilter: Does anyone know how the Sprint PPC-6700 (or any other variety of the HTC Apache or Wizard) does with AJAX-style web2.0 apps? I use Writely, meebo, gmail, yahoo360, flickr, and the like for nearly all my computing needs. I rarely use traditional applications and so all my data is on ye olde Intarweb. I'm ready to spring for the above device, if it can handle AJAX with aplob (or if there's some way to wrangle it to do so).

I can handle most tasks, up to and including recomping my damn kernel for the 10th time to get my sound drivers to work (circa 1999) so if it's a techies only solution, that's ok too...but extra points for style and ease of use ;)
