If you were wondering why WebIS was giving away free copies of Pocket Informant 2007 for Windows Mobile the other day, we have an answer. Because the company was preparing to launch Pocket Informant 8.
While there's still no official web page for the newest version of the popular personal information management (PIM) software), you can download the software directly from the WebIS servers or from PDA software retailer Handango.
There are a ton of updates in version 8, including a new Touch mode that provides a more finger-friendly interface. It's also much easier to customize some of Pocket Informant's dozens of settings thanks to the introduction of a new Roles and Features setting. You can quickly choose whether you want to treat the software as a glorified version of Pocket Outlook by limiting the feature set, or if you want to focus primarily on appointments or tasks. Or you can go for the whole shebang by selecting the standard user or power user modes.
One of the best things about Pocket Informant is that unlike most software released for Windows Mobile in the past year or two, it supports Windows Mobile 2003 and newer devices. Sure, there's no love for Pocket PC 2002 and earlier, but you have to draw the line somewhere.
Pocket Informant 8 will set you back $30 for a full version. There's a free trial available, and while users who downloaded the free version of Pocket Informant 2007 will not be able to get a free upgrade to the new version, there will be some form of discount upgrade option available soon.
