PI 2005 versus 2007

I am still using Pocket Informant 2005. How much of improvment is version 2007?

Read the New for 2007 section.

I don't frankly recall any _major_ differences, but this depends on one's idea of a "major" feature. There were many usability improvements, one is the time based category filter (e.g. show "work" 7 to 5 then hide it). I don't use this feature so I don't know how well it works. There's also a Today plugin but compared to PocketBreeze it's nothing to speak of (other than it comes free with PI and has some more PI-specific functions).

Quite honestly, to me, feature wise, PI7 seems more like PI5+. However, it was apparently revamped on code level for WM5 & WM6 and whatever else. And he can't offer free upgrades for 2 years straight and stay in business.

I suggest trying it out for yourself. BTW Alex is already working on PI8.

PS Just to add - going with PI from WM2003 to WM5 was a major disappointment, time to load the program went from 3-4 sec to 11-12 sec (regardless of whether I used PI2005 or PI2007). I think it got a bit faster over time, not sure if it has to do with subsequent FTF releases for PI or me installing A17 ROM.

I don't use all the functions from PI, so I'll just report what I noticed.
The latest PI2007 load faster on WM5 than 2005 or the early 2007PI.
The search function also faster.
PI2007 has implemented the "one-hand" functions.
The today function sucks. I don't recommend it. Get Pocket Breeze instead.

Over all I didn't think PI2007 is a major upgrade from a user point of view.
But, PI is a good company, and I like to support them and see further improvement on the program.
