McDeb's Rating:
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
I purchased version 3.2 (?) several months ago, and to immediately turn around and plunk another $25 for version 4.x is a bit much. I'm not sure what v4.x offers above version 3.2.
???
Thx!
Alan. Why do you think you would have to pay $25? You are probably eligible for a free upgrade. See info here: http://www.pocketinformant.com/Purchase.php

Thx for the link... I will check out my purchase date and see if I am eligible for the free upgrade. Otherwise, at 50% I may still consider it.
