While I can’t see many bands rocking up to their show with a Windows Mobile Pocket PC instead of a drummer, Syntrax will let you do just that.

There are also Symbian and desktop versions available, all for free from finished.nl.

Would you like to see who is calling your mobile on your PC? Are you in an environment where your phone has to be silent? Do you miss calls?
