Pocket Informant for BlackBerry -
07-19-2007, 07:32 PM
Hi, I'm the developer of Pocket Informant on Windows Mobile devices. We're doing a survey to get some ideas of interest in bringing our software to the RIM platform. We already have FlexWallet and an internal build of VoiceMinder and now are looking at Pocket Informant.
Every week we get people asking us about Pocket Informant for the BlackBerry. So we asked some of our users which sites are popular for BlackBerry users and this is one of them that they recommended.
All I'm looking for is some feedback either here or via our survey page. Blackberry Questions - WebIS, Inc. Customer Forums
Thanks!

I used PocketInformant quite a while ago, when it first comae out for the PocketPC but have been using a Blackberry for about three years now. I'd like to see PI brought to the Blackberry. I'm using a 8800c right now.

I've been a PI user for a long time, recently picked up a Blackberry. From what I've been reading in this board and others, you guys would own this market. Many have asked for something like it and those that haven't don't know what they're missing. A resounding "do it" from me.

I used PI in my old PPC days and wanted to leave feedback at the link. But looks like you have to sign in, so I'm moving on. So long.

I used PI on my Dell 51x and liked it alot! It would sure be a lot better than the current system! I used agendus on my palms and loved that system but when I asked, they have no plans to develop for Blackberry. So, WebIS, please, please, please give us a better system than is currently available on the blackberry. Pocket Today is a today screen only and nothing else even comes close to making a smooth transition between the PIM information!
So many gadgets, so little time!

PI for the Black Berry, hmmm how do I say this...... Pretty please with sugar on top!!!!! Voiceminder too!!
The BB has nothing that even remotely competes. Just please make sure you bring the slick graphics from the WM OS to the BB OS.
I used PI for several years until I had to be moved to the BB for email service in my company a couple months ago. Love it and miss it.

If you develop a version of pocket informant for the blackberry that's close to the windows mobile version, you'll get a huge number of former windows mobile former users to convert. The PIM user interface is the weakest part of the blackberry (other than the lack of a good today screen). Count me in if you do a beta. I had pocketinformant on my 8125 prior to switching to a blackberry.

Sorry, that's how voting works. Its a forum. We don't want someone voting 50 times for one thing. So it takes registration to do votes which ensures the votes are mostly valid.
But either way, that's how pretty much any forum software works.

Our goals on the BB version of PI would be to work on 3 areas specifically. We would probably leave Contacts alone. We have a plan and we have a timeframe. Its just a matter of getting an idea if its doable financially.

For those of us who have never used a Windows Mobile Device, it may be helpful to explain what the program does.

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!

It would be helpful if there were a list of specs in the original post.
Yep, I'd be very interested PI. The BES integration is beyond my needs, but the task/cal/msg mgmt would be great.

Well then, I'll give feedback here: I liked PI very much when I used it, and liked your support. I encourage you to do a version for the blackberry, and looks like there could be many, many others feel same way. I would probably buy if the price is as reasonable as it was back when I used it.

Hi Alex
As a long time PI user the port to Blackberry would be great! Have you investigated the Blackberry development environment yet? I think you are going to find it is nowhere near as robust as WM and will be a major gate to your development efforts.
But if anyone can pull it off it would be you  . Happy coding!!

Long time PalmOS use who moved to a Blackberry about 4 months ago. Used Agendus as my PIM on Palm and miss the enhanced functions from Agendus.
I do use PocketDay, but its just a viewer, not really a PIM enhancement.
Would really like to give PI a whirl.
Thanks,
Mark

I used it on my (may it rest in peace) Axiam, I would be willing to beta test. Huh, if we are ex-owners do we get a discount?

It won't take long for you to dominate the BB arena... Keep us up-to-date on when you release Voiceminder and PI for the BlackBerry.
Just like everybody else, I'll beta it for you.

PI and PD aren't really the same. Though PD has some PIM functions, I think you'll find that they'll compliment each other nicely. PI goes much further into calendar features than PD.

I use and paid for Pocket Day Pro and Sports subscription. Based on 4.25, I uninstalled it. I found that version overrated. However, I know I am probably in the minority

PI for BB would be great! I use to use it (PI) with my HP WM phone a while ago and loved it. I used PocketBreeze as my today screen though...which I think you should also consider is possibly giving us a summary type screen (which would compete with PocketDay), but we dont really have anything else to choose from "over here"

I have used PI for many years on the windows mobile. I moved to BB 6 month ago and really miss it. I also would like to beta test if you need it.

Definitely better than anything else for the BB, but we need something that really is geared towards PIM on the BB.

That would be great but I assume when google comes out with their own product, it will be locked like the iphone.

Would absolutely love to see PI ported over. Although I am currently using Spb products on my WM5 device, I have trialed PI in the past and was impressed.

As a long time user of PI for Windows Mobile, I would love to see a Blackberry version. And as several other posters stated, there is nothing out there for the BB that could touch a PI product.
Please let me know if you need beta testers!

PI was the best app I had for PPC. I really miss it. I'd be extremely interested in seeing it for blackberry. I'm very curious to see how you would work the interface. The interface for PPC was fantastic, I hope you could do just as well without the touchscreen.

PI For Blackberry -
07-22-2007, 05:51 AM
Used PI for a few years before switching to Blackberry a few months ago. Great app and miss the functions on Blackberry. If you are polling Blackberry users Alex, also try looking at Pinstack.com. Both sites are very good and informative for Blackberry users.

PI and PocketDay are two entirely different things--in terms of quality of design, UI polish, everything a power user expects. If PI enters the BB arena, PocketDay goes out of business by the end of business that day. That's how vastly superior PI is than anything else out there.
I was a long time PI user before switching to a BB. Bring it on, Alex!
EDIT: Well, maybe that's a bit presumptuous to say PocketDay would be out of business. I'm sure it will have its loyal users stick around. But the difference between PI and anything else available for the BlackBerry can not be overstated.
