PIMping up your Pocket PC -- Agenda Fusion vs. Pocket Informant
Posted by Don Tolson in "THOUGHT" @ 09:00 AM
One view in AF that I couldn’t replicate in PI was the Hourly Week view. I find this more useful than the Agenda View when I’m trying to locate free time for a meeting I’m scheduling.
Figure 8: AF’s Hourly Week View. I think some of the appointment text would be useful here.
PI has an additional Timeline View, in which Categories assigned to appointments are used to create a filtered weekly view of appointments in the selected categories. Thus, if you are working on various events or projects, you can create and assign specific categories for each, then get a picture of your time allocation to each project.

As for setting up actual appointments, the screens used are very similar.
