Pocket PC Freewares turns Three!

Who here likes free Pocket PC apps? I know I do If you like freeware, then it's nice to know a site like Pocket PC Freewares is around. And today they are announcing that they are celebrating their three year anniversary! To celebrate they are giving away...ummm...free software! Whoo-hooo!!!
"We are happy to announce the 3rd birthday of PocketPCFreeware. In fact, it's been 3 years since PocketPCFreeware started in its current format. A lot has happened ! Developers are amazing and have allowed us to have more than 1000 validated applications. We began as a french-only site, but, with a little help from our friends, more than 70% of the reviews are translated to english at the moment and 40% to german.
We still need your help to make this site what you want it to be. The database is ready to support more languages (spanish is ready but it has not been activated yet because there are so few translations).
Looking back, you can read a summary of our history on the About page. In the past, we had many hosting problems because our daily usage statistics show nearly 10000 visits and this requires a huge bandwidth. We do not want to include aggressive banners : it is very difficult to promote freeware and receive support from commercial companies at the same time.
Looking forward, we would like to complete the translations of our mini-reviews. We think this is the main quality of our site : not just a copy-paste of readme files, but small comments after actually using the software.
On a final note we changed to a new look and added an RSS feed. Even if we tend to adopt the old adage "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" we thoughts the home page needed to be cleaned up. "
