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.

Franklin Covey PlanPlus for Outlook 5.0 Support
Pocket Informant™ 8 adds several new Franklin Covey Plan Plus for Outlook 5.0 (PPO) features such as the Daily Tasks, Master Tasks, Projects, Task Status, Percentage Completion, Daily Notes, and Weekly Planning. These features work perfectly within Pocket Informant™ without PPO. However for these features to sync up to the desktop you need to have PPO version 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5/6. PPO 5.0 ships with the sync conduit which syncs this data to the desktop. All of these features will work on both Windows Mobile 2003/SE and 5.0/6. Only the sync engine requires Windows Mobile 5/6.
Pocket Informant™ 2007 and up provides a completely revamped journal support with RTF and new fields which requires the new Journal Sync 2.1 to sync with the Desktop Outlook.
