Pocket Informant 3.0 prerelease
http://www.pocketinformant.com/PI3.asp
Many people have been waiting for Pocket Informant 3 to arrive. On PocketNow, there was already a preview and now you can test the prerelease version for yourself. Remember: this is not the final code, and there are several known issues. Read the page carefully, and then decide if you want to test this on your device.

I think pocket informant is a great program, but like others, I wish that it had a yearly view among other things.

I've been using PI 3.0 since Sunday afternoon. Very nice. It is just different enough from 2.6 that you really need to step back when using it and not expect it to be just a continuation of PI 2.6. Some things don't work yet either. Overall, I think 3.0 will be far better than 2.6 once completed.

I have been using PI for almost a year now and I have been anxiously awaiting 3.0 (It took some time.......)
But, I must say......3.0 looks fantastic and with all the possibilities it is definitely the best PIM for me!
Just hope they will polish it up soon and I am really looking forward to the final with the Today Plugins.

PI's 3.0 Pre-release is looks good, but that toolbar on the right hand side takes up too much space, especially in the weekview.

I disagree. I'll gladly give up those few pixels for the clean simplicty of the rest of the UI. Having 5-6 tabs down at the bottom was too jumbled. He would need at least 7 to accomplish what those 4 along the side do.

I agree. I have been using PI3 for a while. It takes a bit of time to get used to the new UI, but now that I am, I won't look back.

performance?
The first time I tried PI it didn't perform well. That was long before 2.6. How does the 3pre perform? Is it as fast as the built-in PIM apps for simple things like name/number lookups?

There was a big speed increase in one of the versions (2.5b maybe?). At any rate, PI3 is as fast as I think a PPC PIM can run. I have a lot of appointments and tasks and I never find myself waiting for them to appear.

I can understand your point of view, I have the same point of view, I would rather see more of the actual week view data. Perhaps I'd be happy if the right hand toolbar could auto-hide like the toolbar on the Windows desktop.
