WebIS has relased Pocket Informant 8.1, an incremental upgrade to one of the most popular super-PIMs on the market for any device.
Major Improvements in 8.1 from 8.0:

• 12 Key Search for Pocket PC - this is like T9 for search
• Contacts rewritten so that it now is very fast
• Improved Events view with groupings and more options
• Improved Journal view with groupings and better view
• Improved Touch mode
• Major improvements to Smartphone all over the place
• SmartPhone now supports Linking
• Better one-handed usage

• Read the full list of improvements

Pocket Informant 8 adds several new Franklin Covey Plan Plus for Outlook 5.0 (PPO) features such as the Daily Tasks, Master Tasks, Projects, Task Status, Percentage Completion, Daily Notes, and Weekly Planning. These features work perfectly within Pocket Informant™ without PPO. However for these features to sync up to the desktop you need to have PPO version 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5/6. PPO 5.0 ships with the sync conduit which syncs this data to the desktop. All of these features will work on both Windows Mobile 2003/SE and 5.0/6. Only the sync engine requires Windows Mobile 5/6.

It is a free upgrade for 8.0 users. Just launch the WebIS Update icon in your Programs menu to download and install. If you have an earlier version or a competitive product, see the website for upgrade eligibility and pricing.
