Are you looking to take full advantage of your Pocket PC? Here are a few things that are sure to enhance your Pocket PC experience!

AGENDA FUSION—GET ORGANIZED!

The Personal Information Management (PIM) software that comes with your Pocket PC can do an excellent job of keeping you organized. Pocket Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks are powerful tools that make it easy to manage your life. In fact, these key elements of Pocket Outlook are considered the basics of every Pocket PC.

Agenda Fusion takes the PIM functionality to the next level. It merges the Calendar, Contacts, and Task functions into one powerful application. Then it spices things up with new ways to organize your data. Most importantly, it uses the same PIM databases as Pocket Outlook, so data that you save in Pocket Outlook will show up in Agenda Fusion, and vice-versa. Nitin Gupta reviewed the original version of Agenda Fusion in the May 2002 issue of Pocket PC magazine (www.PocketPCmag.com/May02/GuptasGreats.asp). The latest version is even better.

Agenda Fusion merges the Calendar, Contacts, and Task functions into one powerful application.

The Calendar function has seen several key improvements. New weekly and monthly views allow you to see scheduled times at a glance. To further improve appointment visibility, you can attach appropriate icons to the title of an appointment. If that doesn't help you find an appointment, you can use the improved filtering system to find events related to a specific category.

Contacts are easier to manage with some impressive new tools. With the new dialer feature, you can have your Pocket PC dial a telephone number for you. Simply hold your device up to an analog phone, and it will play the dialing tones out loud for the phone to hear! If you can't find a certain contact, re-sort your list by name or company. You can even preview contact information as you browse.

Task management is completely overhauled. Agenda Fusion lets you group related tasks together, color code important tasks, and use new views to browse them more efficiently. Just as you can in Contacts, you can preview task information while you browse through a list.

Agenda Fusion's new features are all impressive, but none stands out more than the "Linking" feature. Linking consists of creating a relationship between two items. For example, you can link several contacts to an appointment, so you will remember who is attending a meeting. Open the meeting and see clickable links to the contact information of the attendees!

Agenda Fusion is priced at $24.95 and is available for all Pocket PCs. Download the full version or a free demo from the DeveloperOne Web site (www.developerone.com/pocketpc/fusion/).

POCKET ALBUM—DIGITAL PHOTOS TO GO

Digital cameras can become addictive. This addiction can lead to hundreds of photos you want to show friends and family. This creates a unique opportunity for your Pocket PC.

Pocket Album is a perfect solution for the digital camera addict. This picture viewer program lets you store, organize, and display digital photographs on your Pocket PC! No more stuffing photos in your wallet or purse. Take high-resolution photographs with you wherever you go.

Pocket Album turns your Pocket PC into an electronic photo album.

Pocket Album allows you to organize your images in two ways: Album mode lets you manually select and order the images you want to display. SmartAlbum mode automatically finds images you have stored in user-specified folders and displays them. If SmartAlbum finds new images, it adds them to the display list automatically. Though the images may not be organized in perfect order, this is an excellent way to get an album started.
