Default Pocket Informant 5.02 Released, With WM2003SE Support

http://www.pocketinformant.com/what...ant&version=502

"Web Information Solutions, Inc., is introducing its Pocket Informant 5.02 software package to support Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition software for Pocket PCs and Smartphones at the Microsoft Mobile Developer Conference today in San Francisco...Version 5.02 features landscape and high-resolution format capabilities, which take advantage of new features available in Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition software."

There are also bug fixes, so this is an update for everyone. If you haven't seen it, though, check out Jason's earlier post on high-res PI screenshots.

I think it is notable that 4.6.3 was also released today for those users satisified with 4.x and not willing to buy the next version just to get fixes.

Kudos WebIS! :werenotworthy:

ew! The new Calendar toolbar across the top instead of down the right. Anyone see a setting to move that? This is why MS moved all settings/menus to the bottom. I have to obscure the screen with my hand to make changes to views.

Sorry Ed

No there is no current setting to move it up or down. We made the change to properly support Landscape mode for the future...but it is planned to offer support in changing this to the bottom.

So many things we wanted to do for 5.1 had to be postponed to get the landscape/vga support properly in and tested - therefore the 5.02 moniker

Also please note, we will actually be releasing 5.03 probably in a week. Its main purpose is to support Hebrew natively as well fix a note bug that we've been trying to fix since february in 5.0 and finally a few hours after 5.02 was released got the info we needed to fix it...love that

I like the tool bar across the top.... it allows your month view to be full all the time.

I have found a few screen refresh problems though.... like when I changed the tabs to show text AND icons.... it made it to where you had to scroll over with the two arrow buttons to view hidden tabs.... but the green "to the top" button did not go away.... and it was sort of in the way for scrolling to the right.

I guess I will report it on the WebIS website....

I took a screen shot of it.


But hey... I also think it seems a bit speedier too... gotta love that!! :lol:

That's not really a bug. That more of a side effect of having really long tabs. That's been an issue since...4.x and there isn't any good answer to it unless we mess with the tab control at a low level really.

The real answer is - don't do both text all the time and icon.

Some on our beta list didn't like it at first either...but they got used to it and really started liking it within a couple days. I'd say give it a try for a couple days And perhaps by then we may have the Hebrew update which I can definitely *try* to offer the ability to move the bar at the bottom in that timeframe.
