The 'PI' eater? -- A look at Agendus for Windows Mobile v1.01
Posted by Don Tolson in "SOFTWARE" @ 08:00 AM
Tasks
I found this area of Agendus confusing since, as I mentioned, it wasn't possible to show the same 'active' task list including both the undated and dated tasks that I get from Pocket Outlook. There are lots of options for showing tasks due in the future or past, but no way to combine them.
Adding a new task entry uses the same top menu tabs/selections interface as found in the Contacts, to go to the various parts of the Task.

Agendus provides an interesting way of assigning importance/urgency attributes to a task. I wasn't familiar with the four-corner box, but it's an interesting concept.

Figure 20: Although there was some concern mentioned in the forums about a lack of repeatability/recurrence features for tasks and meetings, they worked fine for me.
Calls
Calls are basically reminders to phone someone (preferably in your Contacts list). They look very similar to inputting a new Task and in fact, are stored and processed the same way as a dated Task. They are even transferable to the desktop version of Outlook – coming across as Tasks.
