What cool things can I do on my pocket pc?

Pocket PC 2002 - Hearts, Taipai, Financial Calculator, New Amer.Standard Bible?

• Years ago - I had a CE based hand held. I bought Microsoft Companion to Windows CE which had a great Hearts game and Taipai. The Hearts games I have purchased are awful and so are the versions of Taipai. Is there a newer version of the Microsoft Companion to Windows CE that has the basic games or - any Microsoft edition of standard games for the Pocket PC (Ipac 1910 - 2002)? I would also like the best Financial Calculator (present value) and the New American Standard Bible. Can you answer the question about the Microsoft product and point me to sites for the other things?
