The other day, we told you about some exciting releases coming down the road from Pocket Informant.  Well, all I can say is the proof is in the pudding.  And those lucky dogs over at Pocketnow got themselves a heaping bowl of pudding.  Brandon Miniman was given an exclusive first look at Pocket Information 8 for Smartphone.  What did he think of it?  Brandon says:

I’ve been using it on my BlackJack for two days, and so far I’m impressed. Pocket Informant for Smartphone in its current iteration isn’t very robust – it’s like PI “lite”. The new version has a feel closer to that of the Pocket PC version, which is far more powerful and customizable. In my test version, a good chunk of the functionality isn’t yet finished, so I cannot comment on the new features (such as roles and customizations).
