Agendus 10

Iambic have released version 10 of their Agendus personal information program for palm devices. For many years Agendus was the program I lived in on my palm devices. As mentioned before when I got the Treo I found that Agendus was so slow that it wasn’t worth using, so I resorted to the standard palm applications. They have served me well but I do miss some key features in Agendus.

A representative from Iambic contacted me when I posted about my problems on my treo – saying that he had agendus running on his treo 650 without any problems. I have been meaning to give agendus another go, now that I have the treo update installed. But, time has got away from me and I haven’t.

With the announcement of the new version of Agendus – what better time than to have another go.

Some of the new features and enhancements as listed on the Iambic website:
