Pocket Outlook is a great PIM for those who simply need to know what's going on "Today". But what if you need to see past that? How about next week? The rest of or next Month? Or if you're dealing with a number of tasks or simply want to see what tasks are due on what day? How about making journal entries? You won't get anywhere with Pocket Outlook.
As the winner of the Pocket PC Magazine Best PIM award for the last few years (including 2006) Pocket Informant vastly improves upon the functionality of Pocket Outlook to match and exceed what's available even with the desktop Outlook while keeping complete and uncompromising compatibility with Outlook. 5 Calendar Views, Notes, Tasks, Contacts, Journal, and so much more with beautiful and functional interface. And amazingly even with all this power Pocket Informant is even easier to use than Pocket Outlook is!
