Pocket Informant 5.0 Released

Pocket Informant, one of the most popular Pocket PC applications has been updated to version 5.0. I've been using it for a few days and really like it. It isn't a ground breaking earth shattering update but more of a refinement of the 4.x code that increases speed and stability. That isn't to say there is nothing new. There is! Quite a bit in fact. I also know that this lays the groundwork for some other really great things during the 5.x lifetime.
New Time Picker and Link generator
There are literally dozens of new features in Pocket Informant 5.0. Here are some of the biggies.
• Completely rewritten Preview windows for Tasks and Contacts
• Most icons in Pocket Informant views now can be enabled/disabled individually per view
• Journal Tab in Appointment/Task/Contact editors
• Auto-journaling added for many types of actions
• Links Backup/Restore
• Month View now supports Mini-Text - a great new view for users with eagle eyes - or with screens that have a higher resolution than 320X240.
If you purchased Pocket Informant 4.x after October 15, 2003, Pocket Informant 5 is free, otherwise it is $12.48 for an upgrade from a previous version or $24.95 from the Pocket PC Thoughts Handango store for the full version. Note too that 4.6.2 is out as well for those of you with 4.6.1 that don't wish to upgrade at this point. There are no new items in 4.6.2, but they have taken some fixes from 5.0 and backported them to the 4.x code. Refreshing to get updates like that without being forced to upgrade! :way to go:
