Any pointers? Or does a freeware program like the above exist? (I'm sure it does somewhere)

I'm not sure what you're getting at, or want to accomplish. If the PocketPC and the GPS both have Bluetooth, they already do this, via a BT virtual serial port. As to the position data, there is already a widely accepted format: NMEA 0183 v2.0 and higher.
