Pocket Informant Calendar for Pocket PC

Filed under: Windows Mobile, Productivity While Pocket PC and Windows Mobile PDAs come with basic calendar, contact, and notes programs, if you're looking for more advanced features, you often have to look elsewhere. Two of the most popular PIM (Personal Information Management) programs for Windows Mobile are Agenda Fusion ($29.95) and Pocket Informant ($24.95) Each offers a complete replacement for the calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes functions of your PDA. As someone who has well over a thousand contacts in my database, I especially like the ability to quickly search through all my notes, appointments, and contacts at the same time in case I wrote a phone number in an appointment instead of as a contact entry. Doing this with Windows Mobile's default search function could take minutes, while Pocket Informant does it in seconds. But what if you keep all of your phone numbers in your cell phone, but want an advanced calendar for your PDA? Pocket Informant recently released a calendar-only version of its software for $12.95. Pocket Informant Calendar gives you a variety of ways to view your appointments, including a 7-day week view that shows you more than blocks of time on a screen. If you've got a PDA with VGA resolution, you can even choose to show text for your appointments in the 30-day view. One of my favorite features is the ability to show tasks in the calendar. Rather than showing tasks in the order that they are due, you can peg a task to a specific day. Unlike an appointment, if you haven't checked the task off it will follow you to the next day and the next. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
