Pocket OnSchedule v6 Beta Released
http://www.odysseyinc.com/Subpages/Downloads/FRAMESET_On-Schedulev6_Beta_index.htm
For a few of you, contact and PIM management in the Pocket PC just doesn't cut it, even with fantastic programs like Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion. You need an entirely new database structure to handle your needs. Pocket OnSchedule from Odyssey Inc. has filled that role. They just released a beta of Version 6.
� New Business Contact Management folders to match Outlook BCM
� Improved Synchronization with Error Resolution Manager
� Support for Frozen Columns in all Details Views
� Enhanced Email Views (pictured above)
� Improved Images and Icons and much more.
The download for Pocket PC 2000/2002 is 11.7MB and for 2003 is 9.5MB. Pricing is normally $119 but they have it for $89 right now.

8O 8O wow. aside from a super specialized packet sniffer used for enterprise level and shops and industrial espionage, this is the single most expensive piece of PPC software I have seen. Is it really that good?

Any idea how long the beta is good for? I would like more robust PIM than Outlook/Pocket Outlook, but short of learning how to program and developing my own I have limited means.

You aren't looking hard enough
PhatNet Professional Edition by PhatWare Corp $299
PowerCAD CE Professional by GiveMePower Corp. $495
The key I think is specialization. This appears to sync with MS Business Contact Manager. As such it could be invaluable to those who use that to manage their businesss contacts, and are on the road. It's a business expense then as well.

I installed it briefly. The desktop version doesn't seem to do a whole lot. The device version seems like a good deal, but it didn't seem to want to automatically sync with Outlook. You have to manually run a program under your PC's Start menu. I wasn't sure if I should put PIM information under On Sched or under Outlook. I finally removed it. I'm not saying it's not good, just that it's not what I'm looking for right now. If I felt like I had time to play with it I would reinstall it and try it again. I'll probably keep the beta around, as it didn't say anything about license or time limits. Maybe I'll try again later.

Think I saw 60 days on the trial somewhere. I have been able to get it to sync with the desktop app with no problems but have not tried outlook yet. I used to use this on my H/PC back years ago and it was an excellent program for anyone involved in a sales type job. Not sure what it offers compared to AF and PI and it is expensive.
