New multiplatform organizational tool coming

Datebk6 has long been the secret organizational weapon of the Palm PDA cognoscenti. The brainchild of C.E.S. Dewer, it is the ultimate personal information manager (PIM), with sophisticated functionality that other applications, including Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, cannot come close to matching. Recently CESD has announced a new development platform, now in alpha test, to redevelop Datebk on a multiplatform base that will allow him to port it to a list of popular desktop and mobile systems, starting with Microsoft Windows and eventually including Macintosh, iPhone/iPod Touch, and Android. And this new version, named PIMlical adds the one thing the Palm version lacks – the ability to send and receive meeting invitations to lists of meeting participants. Although traditionally marketed mostly to the consumer marketplace on the Palm, PIMlical has obvious applications in business, where personal and small team organization is vital. And it has the added benefit that it will create one virtual mobile PIM platform across several physical platforms. For companies that have users on several mobile platforms, this could help unify support for mobile PIM applications.
