Default WebIS Rolls Out Pocket Informant 8.5

http://www.webis.net/products_info....pocketinformant

"First, we have the announcement that Pocket Informant 8.5 was released today with many improvements in Smartphone and Pocket PC editions. We have some major improvements in the Calendar, Tasks View, Missions, and Contacts and it is now available as a free upgrade to all Pocket Informant 8.x owners. Version 8.5 of Pocket Informant is a mature PIM on Windows Mobile and most of our major improvements have been focusing on ease of use, improving the basic usability in finger touch modes, stylus, and one-handed usage scenarios. We don't want  just cram more features in. Some areas like Journal and Events Views received a lot of attention."

The folks at WebIS have released Pocket Informant 8.5 as a free upgrade to all Pocket Informant 8.x owners. If you're in that boat, head over to WebIS for the installer. If you're not, and you're interested in trying or buying, head over to our affiliate software store (Classic/Professional [Pocket PC]; Standard [Smartphone]). It's on sale for $16.95, down from the regular price of $29.95. But if you want to take advantage of the offer, you'll have to be quick as it ends on November 30.

Default Tried all - PI Seems to be the fastest

PI is a great buy. On my Moto Q, most of the calendar programs are slow. PI is fastest. Plus is has a Month ribbon screen that is cool.

PI8 looks fine on the Fuze - but have just started working with it and am having trouble finding my way around the program: seems to have a higher Learning Curve than was associated with the upgrade to PI2007.

Or is some of that simply the move from a plain PPC to a WM6 Pro Smartphone?
(Miss the PI MENU Icons across the bottom of the display!)

OH: the application text in PI (on the Fuze) is small, but surprisingly legible - but the SHIFT from that to the Ridiculously Large MENU SYSTEM FONT that the Fuze imposes is glaring!

minor update to 8.2, but very usable.
only issue is font in 'touch mode' doesn't match size of drop-downs. Looks a bit wierd but u just have to get used to it.
