The guys at Iambic have updated Agendus for BlackBerry, to increase further your productivity. Let’s check what has changed in this .01 update.

From Iambic:

Product Summary

Agendus is a turnkey personal productivity solution for BlackBerry phones, thanks to its unique integration capability, bringing together and extending the built-in Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos.
The application includes a Today View, a number of enhanced Task and Calendar related Views, Compact and Expanded Contact Views and a Memo List view to make the user a competitive time manager.

Contact Linking, One Tap Dial / Email, quick item deletion, task categories, colors, grouping and filtering are all features geared towards making managing people and commitments painless. Agendus also provides over-the-air services such as integrated weather forecasts, and much more.

Release Highlights

Despite the .01 version update, this release introduces quite a few new features, including a brand new view, the “Split View”, extremely popular among long-time Agendus users, providing the daily list of meetings in the top portion, and task in the lower portion. Other notable additions include the compact mode in the Day View, extended task filtering options, memos in the power search local, noticeable performance improvement in the contact views, especially when showing contact photos, and over 30 assorted all around refinements.
For the complete list of new features and improvements included in this release please visit the “What’s New” section of the Agendus for BlackBerry website.

I am a regular and satisfied user of Agendus for Palm OS, and I am happy to see Iambic efforts in delivering their flagship products to all other platforms, because, at a certain point, I will have to drop my Centro and take some other “more current” device.

If you are European and are on the market for Nokia devices and accessories, this could be a good chance for you.

Nokia is offering a 15% off discount until October 21st on “all” its devices and accessories. On the Nokia page, you find the list of countries where the discount applies and the code to use at check out:

• Germany, code: NOS09TW
• Sweden, code: OKT15T
• Spain, code: DTINK
• France, code: SOC15
• Netherlands, code: SOC15/1009
• UK, code SOCUK15
• Italy, code: TWTR01
• Poland, code: SAVE15TW

As you can see, not all the European countries are involved and the discount doesn’t apply to the Nokia N900 in Germany… this is way I wrote “all devices” above.

I’m in the market for a new phone, and possibly a new carrier (after nearly 5 years with AT&T); and the Moto CLIQ may be the device for me and the family.  PC Magazine recently reviewed the device and gave it 4 out of 5 stars, AND their coveted Editor’s Choice Award.

This is part 1 of a 6 part series on setting up Windows 7.  You can see parts here at Just Another Mobile Monday and at iTechGear.org.

At the release of every new Microsoft operating system since Windows 98, everyone has wondered if the new operating system was for them.  Will my computer run it?  Will my computer’s performance be better?  Will I like the experience?  Will I have to buy new hardware components, or will a new PC be a better way to go?  These are all EXCELLENT questions.
