Syware PocketExtra
Products: PocketExtra Contacts
Developer: Syware (http://www.syware.com)
Syware is well know among PocketPC users for their already popular programming software (VisualCE 6).
They just release today (11/12/01) a new family of products called the PocketExtra. These little applications will improve the functions of your built-in PIMs with some nice little options. PocketExtra Contacts was just release today and I had the chance to preview the application. It does work on PocketPC or PocketPC2002 just fine!
The application is built on a database platform. You'll have many option to customize the display of each contact!
  |
PocketExtra installs in just seconds and takes minimal amount of RAM on your device. The PocketExtra options is then added to the option menu in Contacts. You can choose which color to use to display the contacts and add fields just as you would in a database software. Shown here is the contact menu option and the option menu in PocketExtra. You can choose to add, delete, move up and down each of the fields. Not to mention the color option that will allow you to make it look the way you want! |
  |
The possibilities are simply endless. Here I created a quick bunch of fields to show you how it works. You can select different predefined type of fields and options. |
  |
Also very nice is the popup windows coming up when chosing the proper fields: clicking on a date item will automatically bring up the calendar while hitting a "money" field will bring up a quick number input panel. |
  |
Finally, the colors available will allow you to personalize the display. Nice touch!!! |
Syware
did a very cool job with these little PIM enhancements. Priced below
$10, they should be on the top list for application to get on your PocketPC.
PocketExtra was almost perfect though I must say that not being able
to import the current contact info was a little annoying. Indeed, if
you want to include the contact's phone number, you have to enter it
again... Another minor negative point was the fact that all contacts
will use the same database that you created! This means the fields created
will be used by all contacts!
But PocketExtra is more of a tracking software that lets you organize
your contacts better and I must say, it does an excellent job at it!
