Continued looking on the handango site for the pocketpc brought up Lupin's Diary, a schedule and contact manager. It emphasizes that it looks good in addition to having a bunch of functionality. Mary and I are playing championship euchre right now, so I haven't had time to really get into the program. I wanted to put a link here for myself, though. And, with their mildly humorous english, I like them already.

Contrary to brilliant looks of Pocket PC, the looks and function of Pocket Outlook what is default software from MS is such a shabby. You can manage your schedule and contact easily and conveniently with Lupin's Diary because it expanses the shabby function of Pocket Outlook and has user-friendly interface. In addition, Lupin's Diary makes your PDA more splendid and stylish with maximum using of multi-media fact of Pocket PC.

[Update: I installed the trial version of this tonight (Friday). I'm going to use it for a week and see how I like it. If I am not totally in love with it, then I'll try Pocket Informant, as well.]

[Update: 1/19 - I've been using this for a couple days now, and it really just seems to be a pretty face over the standard task/appointment/contact functionality that comes with CE. Yes, it looks better, but the information still doesn't seem to be incredibly related. I'm going to keep using it for a couple more days (the trial runs out on Friday), then, unless it does something to knock my socks off, I'm going to uninstall it and try pocket informant.]

[Update: 1/22 - Well, as I use it more and more, it definitely is just a pretty face over the standard calendar/tasks/contacts. So, uninstallation has happened. I guess this is not going to be the PIM for me.]
