See how Pocket Informant got an Editor's Choice from PDA Essentials Magazine!

Pocket Informant™ is The Next Generation in Personal Daily Management, but we don't just say that; we prove it. Pocket Informant™ 8 doesn't just simply let you work with your daily events through lists and grids, but with the new Events and Journal views you can also look at your life's past and future in an easy cohesive environment. You can even have Contact Links directly in the subject of any task or appointment! Most surprisingly, this power doesn't come at the cost of a slow, complicated, cluttered interface.

Pocket Informant™ 8 brings a new level of ease of use to your mobile device. Search your Contacts with the innovative 12-Key Search Pad, scale your feature interface needs using our Roles including a "Pocket Outlook with Benefits Role). A near fully one handed interface lets you use Pocket Informant™ without ever touching the stylus - or if you prefer finger control Pocket Informant™ brings finger touch scrolling, a touch ABC bar in Contacts, and new finger friendly time pickers.

These are just a taste of the new features that Pocket Informant 8 provides that separates it from any other PIM on the market. This just builds on top of the already easy and powerful features that have made Pocket Informant the winner of the best business application and PIM for this and previous years at Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine.
