Ken,
I've been looking into Pocket Informant for both the iPad and iPod, but customer feedback seems to be very negative for the last several months. Considering how expensive it is (2 x GBP8.99) the...

I don't have specific software to suggest but I do know that investment banks need to do that sort of thing for compliance purposes, so over the last decade all kinds of fancy systems have been develo...
Apologies for asking something slightly off-topic but has anyone with iPhone/iPod Touch come across an app that would match the sophistication of DateBk6 calendar on Palm? Actually it wouldn't even ha...
It's an impossible question because the answer depends on the type and stage of the project that I happen to be working on. But on the PC I've been sticking with Natara Bonsai for quite a few years no...

I have acquired UltraRecall a couple of years ago but so far it turned out to be a CRIMP mistake of mine, in the sense that I have not been able to find it a place within my workflow. Originally I bou...
