If we could have only one third-party application for the Pocket PC, it would have to be Pocket Informant from Web Information Solutions, Inc.. Pocket Informant replaces your built in contacts, calendar and tasks applications with more powerful, yet simple, full-featured integrated versions.

Pocket Informant is no new-kid-on-block. With frequent improvements and meaningful updates in response to user feedback, Pocket Informant has definitely hit its sweet spot with the recently released version 4. Here's a look at a few of my favorite features:

• Task grouping by category, importance, priority, progress, completion, and date
• Month View - completely redesigned with:
  • non-inline detail window now at the bottom dynamically changing in size depending on how much of the Month View is zoomed (i.e. if you only have 3 or 4 rows displaying, the detail window will grow larger)
  • Full Joypad navigation
  • Category Colors OR Status Color bars
• Zooming
• Fast search view
• @Mail integration
• Faster than ever
