Having just purchased a Pocket PC (Dell Axim) I'm now looking for some suitable genealogy software that I can use with FH. Can anyone suggest some options please?

You could take a look at
Pocket Genealogist
at
http://www.northernhillssoftware.com/pgenie.htm

It works quite well for me.  You can not yet enter data directly against people, but for carrying your family in your pocket it works very well.

I've been using Pocket Genealogist for over a year now, and find it a brilliant tool.

There is also a data entry version available for 'beta testing' at the same website. I don't know if there is an exact release date for it as an official release yet, but it is very usable as it is.

I have been using 'My Roots' from Tapperware (http://www.tapperware.com) for a few years, on Palm OS platforms. It is now up to version 3.00.
It is a useful pocket record of ones data, and data can be changed or entered in the field. Records are then marked as changed and manual update is necessary 'at home'. There is an auxiliary program which converts any GEDCOM file quickly.
It used quite a lot of memory; in my case 239K. I did not use it for a while on a 2Mb Palm, but have upgraded to a 15Mb machine, and it is back in use now.
