WebIS Releases Pocket Informant For Blackberry

WebIS has announced the release of their powerful Pocket Informant PIM application for the BlackBerry. A top Windows Mobile application since its release in 2000, the Blackberry version of Pocket Informant is a powerhouse Personal Daily Management for BlackBerry users that brings new functionality to the device.

Rather than merely port PI to the BlackBerry, however, WebIS built the application from the ground up.

Month View sisplays events summary in the calendar, detailed view of the selected day, optional ability to navigate events of the currently selected day

Full support for recurring tasks or events.

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen
