Icon Sets For Pocket Informant
http://www.pocketinformant.com/p_iconsets.php
"Pocket Informant comes with a huge set of features and a broad functionality going beyond the possibilities of most desktop PIMs. Despite being so feature rich, its user interface stays intuitive and clear helping you to easily manage your appointments, tasks and contacts. The ability to attach icons to certain items by assigning those items to categories or attaching an icon unique to an item enhances the management of your personal data. Visually, icons can offer you a perfect way to get a quick overview of your appointments, tasks or contact data faster than any text can do. Category icons help you to organize your personal data. As an example, you could assign a specific icon that you link with holidays to a holiday�s event. You will know that it is a holiday at a glance. A briefcase icon might indicate a business appointment; a shopping cart icon reminds you to go shopping. Pocket Informant ships with a small number of free icons as examples on how to use category icons. We have teamed up with some of the best icon designers in the PDA world and are proud to introduce our icon sets for Pocket Informant."
There are two sets, the 3D Icons (pictured above) and the Square Icon Set. They cost $8 each.

I paid about $20 for pocket informant. This does beg the question - How much is pretty worth? :?

I just Hard reset, and had to re-install PI. This time I did not installed the regular icon Pack. I am not missing anything...
So my guess would be: Not much

$8 Bucks for icons? Uh, are we getting a little too commercial? No thanks, not worth it to me.

Greed? According to Alex the designers get 80-90% of the proceeds from each sale.
Apparently it's greed if you decide to sell something instead of giving it away for free :roll:
If Alex was being greedy then he'd be taking 50%.
Or maybe you should ask how the price point was decided upon?

It seems worth $8 to me. If it only spares me an hour of messing around trying to create or assemble an icon set that looks fairly consistent.
I would certainly rather see icons, which are bound to not appeal to all of the users, sold as a seperate item rather than bundled into the standard product. And I don't see the problem in paying the designer for creating them rather than having to draw them yourself, or find suitable ones in the public domain.
I guess that it all depends on how much your time is worth to you.
