Direct from Alex Kac: First, we have the announcement that Pocket Informant 8.5 was released today with many improvements in Smartphone and Pocket PC editions. We have some major improvements in the Calendar, Tasks View, Missions, and Contacts and it is now available as a free upgrade to all Pocket Informant 8.x owners. Version 8.5 of Pocket Informant is a mature PIM on Windows Mobile and most of our major improvements have been focusing on ease of use, improving the basic usability in finger touch modes, stylus, and one-handed usage scenarios. We don't want  just cram more features in. Some areas like Journal and Events Views received a lot of attention. Furthermore as a limited time special promotion we are selling Pocket Informant for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile at $16.95 - our regular upgrade price!

Resco -- one of our favourite software suppliers for the mobile platforms (we'll have a whole mini-review segment coming of Resco programs) now is actively supporting the G-sensor technololgy. We know that these accelerometers are becoming more and more prevelant in upmarket mobile units, such as the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro, as well as the Samsung Omnia. The Apple iPhone and iPod Touch also have these G-sensors implemented.

Resco's announcement goes a lot further that just using this technology for fun and games... How cool would it be in business applications?

WebIs just announced an edition of Pocket Informant for the BlackBerry.

Here are some details from their Press Release today.

 One of the most prolific makers of smartphones and PDAs, HTC, has been bringing out a slew of devices onto the Australian market. 

Today we will be reviewing the Touch Cruise which is a GSM phone (not suited, however, for the NextG network).
One of the main features of this device includes the TouchFLO technology that will allow you to scroll, pan and zoom in on your photos as well as access different programs.  Another key feature is the built-in navigation software from ALK technologies: Co-Pilot Live.
Let's have a look at the other features that make this phone an outstanding choice if you are happy to use the Windows Mobile platform.
