What would work?

[PDANEWBIE]

Okay I am starting to go all out on my PDA useage. I Have many friends who tell other people about the fact that I know my way around computers (thats c-o-m-p-u-t-e-r-s not PDA's so please be nice). It has gotten to the point that on the weekends I am running about 3 calls to peoples houses. While this is not by any means a full time business I am trying to keep everythnig straight so I don't get bit by the IRS. What I need is some kind of "customer database system" where I can do everything from invoicing to keeping track of names numbers addresses and assets (I want to be able to make note of their home configuration so if they call and have problems later I can reffer back to my notes.

Of course I'll have my PDA while onsite and then I'll want to go home and "sync" with the more robust and "eye friendly" PC.

Can you think a good program that does everything from invoice to asset management to "contact list" information. I don't need anything overly fancy just simple and easy to use.

(It would be nice if this same program also put ALL of the contact information into Outlooks contact list (but that might be asking a little too much)).

Something like BillRate (http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&jid=X38143A32526XE561F35DC11C3F962XA&platformId=2&productType=2&productId=96451&sectionId=0&catalog=30) would do the trick for most of what you need. We just published a review on it today - check out the front page. ;-)

I use TimeTTracker MX to track and bill my hours as a consultant. It comes with both a desktop version and PPC version. I did a review of both TimeTTracker and TimeBiller in the issue of PocketPC Magazine on newstands now.
