Agendus vs Pocket Informant

Well, I’ve been using Pocket Informant for several years now and have been quite happy with it’s performance.  It is a great solid application for Windows Mobile which adds enhanced performance and features that are not included with the default WM PIM.  So today, I decided to give Agendus a try and see how it compares to Pocket Informant.

Agendus for Windows Mobile has been designed from the ground up with one goal in mind: to bring order and piece of mind in the busy life of today’s windows mobile phone users. It accomplishes such goal by seamlessly unifying schedule, contact management and task organization in a homogeneous, straightforward and pleasant to use interface. Its out-of-the-box ready to use functionality is complemented by a variety of fine tuning options and preferences aimed at satisfying the novice as well as the power user audiences.

Static continues for Apple’s iPhone debut

LOS ANGELES – Apple’s experiencing serious Microsoft-type growing pains with its launch of the new iPhone that went on sale two weeks ago.

It’s not just that Apple can’t satisfy demand for the phones. A new, longer procedure to activate the iPhone is making the in-store buying process much longer and keeping customers waiting in line and fuming for hours.

“It’s a nightmare,” said Grace Ciurluini, in line at the Los Angeles Apple Store at The Grove shopping center Sunday. By 11:30 a.m., just 30 minutes after opening, the store had sold its allotment of iPhones for the day. A line of about 50 people was all it could handle. Apple reps closed the line to newcomers, telling them to return Monday between 8 and 10 a.m. for vouchers to get phones.

Verizon profit rises, but wireline disappoints

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Verizon Communications Inc (VZ.N) posted a higher quarterly profit on strong wireless sales, but its shares fell on worries about its declining landlines and weaker-than-expected growth in its FiOS Internet and video service.

FiOS, delivered over a high-speed, all-fiber network, is a key part of Verizon’s strategy to bolster its landline business and compete with cable companies’ all-in-one phone, video and Internet offerings.

Second-quarter profit rose to $1.88 billion, or 66 cents a share, from $1.68 billion, or 58 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding items such as merger integration costs, earnings per share were 67 cents, beating the average analyst forecast for 64 cents a share, according to Reuters Estimates.
