Looks like psyche beat me to the punch on this news with this thread, however, this is still Front Page worthy. :)

The Folks over at WebIS have released the latest version of their popular PIM with a host of fixes and updates that you can view here. If you already own Pocket Informant 2005, the upgrade should be free. And there is a trial version available if you don't own it and want to check it out - just click here and you will be whisked through cyberspace to their download site.

Thanks again to psyche for starting the thread!

Has anybody else updated from PI2005 yet?

I was surprised when I installed it and I had nothing to confirm on my PDA. Was the update not successful? I had not allocated any time to search for any changes but just installed the new one (yeah, always want to have the latest...). So far I have not realized that there are any major changes... However, considering the bug list it is worth installing it. I had some problems with my contacts and WebIS support provided me with an updated version of PI2005.

I too updated and was not asked to confirm anything. I guess it was successful, and it seems to work fine for me (but then again, my old PI2005 worked great too).

We'll see...

Click the PI icon next to the 'New' button then click on About.

You should see version 6,1,0,338.

Thanks, I was hoping someone would post the new version number. I wasn't sure if it did anything as all I get was the "Are you sure you want to reinstall" messages.

Yeah ... I updated it a day or two ago. Dunno why I checked for an update - just turned out that I discovered it the day it was released.

I haven't done any scientific tests however the application was seeming to me to be slightly unstable. Nothing serious - an occasional lockup that I could work around and it seemed a little slow. Since the upgrade I haven't seen it lock up like it did and it feels decidedly "snappier" than it did, particularly in the calendar application.

That's my $.02 so far.

Stevep89,

Thanks for posting the new number; that's what I have.

Thanks again.

Thanks - Aside from the views, not much seems to be diferent.

I noticed the upgrade R2 version is definitely snappier than the previous one :approve:

Thanks!
Now, I know that I do not have the latest version. Mine is just

6,0,0,0625

I installed international English. Might that be the reason? I will try American English now...

schlinki

Haha. It is funny.
I have just installed the PI again (now with American English as language), however, the version is still different 6,1,0,0336. But at least, it looks different from my previous version now.

I think I read that 336 is the same release, but there was a probelm with the (English?) installer that caused WebIS to change the build number.

I have 5.2.1.0093 How can I update mine? Should I install the early version of PIM2005, then upgrade it to the new version.

AFAIK, You will need a new registration code compared to version 5; in other words you will have to pay for an upgrade (some individuals who purchased PI 5 close to release date of PI 2005 received a free upgrade to PI 2005).
