WebIs just announced an edition of Pocket Informant for the BlackBerry.
Here are some details from their Press Release today.
We are proud to announce the release of one of our most anticipated titles: Pocket Informant for the BlackBerry. Pocket Informant is the next generation in Personal Daily Management for the BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile. Some of the reviews we have for Pocket Informant for BlackBerry say:
- In the built-in PIM, tasks are nearly impossible to use in any normal fashion, and yet with PIBB, someone who is a proponent of the GTD system can use the Tasks implementation very effectively.”
- “The Agenda view gives me everything I need to see on one screen to get a snapshot of my day – and not just my day *today* but any day I choose, past, present or future. With the built-in PIM in the Blackberry, I found myself missing appointments or forgetting events that were coming up on future dates, as well as having a difficult time managing tasks in any coherent fashion. With PIBB, I am able to manage my day more effectively, including the many events and tasks I have on my schedule.”
- “Nothing else available for BlackBerry integrates schedules, tasks and contacts in a visually appealing way.”
- “I’ve been using PIM applications on Macintosh, Windows Mobile, Palm and BlackBerry for years, and Pocket Informant integrates everything I need to manage my day in an easy-to-use package that is with me wherever I go. If you have a BlackBerry, you need Pocket Informant.”General:

Note2Self 2.0 has been the best audio recorder on the Apple App Store now for the last two months and we are very proud of it. Its been selling well and does a really really good job. We have had several iPhone web site operators tell us its their favorite productivity application on the iPhone and we are definitely excited to hear that! And now we are going to up the ante and introduce Note2Self 2.00 for the iPhone.First let me explain what Note2Self is. Its an audio recorder for the iPhone that doesn’t just simply record audio but makes it dead-easy to send those recordings to yourself. That has been our goal from the beginning and its why iLounge reviewed all the audio recorder applications and voted Note2Self the easiest to use. So what else could we do with version 2.00? A lot. And we still have a lot more to do. 2.00 adds the following features:
- Built-In WiFi Note2Self Server allows you to record and download nearly any size* voice note to your desktop (Mac, PC, Linux)
- Settings moved into the application itself and redesigned
- Automatic Pause During Recording when Level goes below user setting
- Badge Count is now user configurable
- Support for Landscape mode and rotation (rotation disabled during recording)
- Awesome new Multi-Note Delete/Send user interface
- Now offers 3 Default Emails with Contact Pictures for sending email
- Added ability to specify custom email during initial recording
- New Volume Bar
- Pause and Seek through your audio while playing
- Elapsed time while playing
- Improved Spanish Localization
Many other improvements throughout the applicationAs you can see we really focused a lot on usability and making recording easier and more powerful. The automatic pause lets you record dication or what not and not have spots of dead air; the new audio scrubber lets you scrub through the audio nice and quickly to get to a spot you need to read. The multi-note delete/send interface is reminiscent of Mail 2.0 on the iPhone and I think we’re the only ones to do that. And the Wifi Server is really nice allowing you to download audio files of any size to your desktop.Note2Self 2.00 is now available at the Apple App Store and are waiting for it to be approved for purchase. Note2Self costs $2.99 USD. Check out the website showing Note2Self in action in QuickTime. Watch the Animated GIF on the right for a small brief glimpse.
