Pocket Informant is Coming to the iPhone & iPod Touch

WebIS is in the works on two new applications. One being PI (Pocket Informant) which provides a better calendar, contacts, and tasks, the other being Note2self, a voice recording application for iPhone users.

Here’s Patrick’s explanation of what Pocket Informant really is:

Pocket Informant - the leading PIM (personal information management) application for Windows Mobile for years - will be coming to the iPhone this year. WebIS, makers of Pocket Informant (PI), have just announced today in their forums that they’ll be bringing out iPhone versions of PI and Note2self, a voice recording program that allows you to quickly record a voice note and have it sent as an email to your email address of choice with just two button presses.

If you’ve used a Windows Mobile device over the last few years, you are probably familiar with PI already - as it has been racking up awards for Best PIM application for quite a while (it won Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine’s award in that category again in 2007). It’s a very powerful and hugely feature-rich program, that has always far exceeded the capabilities of the built-in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks programs on Windows Mobile devices.

I used PI for many years on many small-screened WinMo devices (and one lovely Dell Axim). It will be interesting to see how PI, in particular, translates across to the iPhone platform and the lovely big screen.

WebIS has not yet said whether one or both of these programs may be ready for the iPhone App Store launch in June …

This is definitely going to be a hit application. No information on pricing available as of yet. For all we know, it may be sans-price!
