      Pocket Informant 9

        Pocket Informant 9I have just installed the new version of Pocket Informant and why it is early in the day I am realy impressed by the GTD functionality.

        Still early days but with less than 1 hour of use, I still need to see about a form of desk top synchronisation but may have found my trusted system.

        GTD Agenda

          GTDAgenda Home PageHaving been a fan for GTD for some time and talking about it in this blog, I was contacted by Dan Baluta of GTDAgenda to review the product. My initial opinion was positive as it contained a simple web interface and I was pleased by how well it transfered on to the mobile site on my Touch HD.

            Why does this work for me? I am on the move and need to have the GTD system accessible from several devices in different locations. Windows Mobile can function as part of your trusted system with just a little few changes, I will outline briefly how I have set the system up and will look to detail more in later blogs.
