PaperAgenda For Pocket PC
http://www.wolftech.it/site/html/main.php?page=paperagenda
"PaperAgenda is nothing else that the digital revisited version of your old-fashioned and functional paper agenda. You have a blank page for each day, and a calendar that let you know which days have actually been filled with any information and which are still blank. There is a pen tool, with selectable width and color, and obviously a useful rubber with selectable width too. You can select the background of the page, selecting between 'gray paper', 'rice paper', 'planner style' and other beautiful styles, that will make your notes aesthetically appealing and realistic."
PaperAgenda works on Pocket PC 2002, 2003/SE and Windows Mobile 5. They have a free trial or you can buy it for $18.99 from the Pocket PC Thoughts store.

hmm.
I'm a sucker for a pretty interface, and this definitely has one of those. Very clever and attractive. However, $18.99 seems rather a lot for the functionality that's actually delivered. The nag screen pops up with distressing frequency, and the grammar in the English version could use a little brush up too. These aren't show stoppers - you can still get the general idea what the proggie will do. At $19 I don't think it's for me, but it's probably just the ticket for some folks.

I thought the reason I threw out paper organizers were all of the features this one has: Handwriting, cutesie paper, etc... :devilboy: Looks like a great app for anyone unlike me who can actually read their handwriting.

Expensive
I think this might be useful for jotting quick notes, and agree it has a nice-looking interface, but they priced it right out of even a free demo for my purposes. I look at price before I even demo most SW for download--then I weigh the benefit of it's intended use without getting bit by the "gotta have it" factor. Too many other options with better functionality if you want additional features at similar price.

As soon as I saw the "Ducks" in the screenshots (from their web site) I got turned off.
For $19.95 US I would choose HandNotes
http://www.choung.net/HandNotes/
Has a desktop companion and too many features to list

apMemo 1.0 is free or version 2.3 is $14. And you can set alarms to notes.

Lex,
Looks interesting. Thanks for the post!

To PaperAgenda author(s),
Please dont be offended. It seems like a great program but does not provide a value for the cost.

Why do developers insist on crippling their software so badly? I was considering this even though the price is too high, but the constant nagging is ridiculous and annoying. Shouldnt the experience of trying software be pleasant? You know, so you might BUY the program because you LIKED using it.
I'LL PASS.

I'll stick with Phatpad for jotting and listpro for lists both of which supports alarms - or heck use PI's notes function (phatnotes Lite)
Yea price difference but I love em both. Well OK, I *won* Listpro from SPT so I got the PPC version for $5, but still.
And with coups and a couple discounted sales a year Phatpad just rocks on its own at a reasonable cost with great support.
