Pocket Informant (PI) is the quintessential PIM application for the Pocket PC. Pocket Informant replaces your built in Contacts/ Calendar/ Tasks applications with more powerful full featured versions in one integrated application. Those of you that are familiar with the Palm OS DateBk4 or ActionNames programs will find PI very similar in functionality and flexibility.

I have been using Pocket Informant for a couple of months now and I can’t imagine my PPC without it! The stock MS PIM components are lacking in so many areas that they are almost to the point of unusable for those who have need for a complete PIM system. Aside from the broad flexibility of this program, I really like the fact that the author of PI, Alex Kac is constantly trying to improve the program (he’s already working on version 3!). He really values the opinions of users and in fact has posted an open forum on the PocketInformant web site for version 3.0 enhancement suggestions.
