The Problems

Some how, the Pocket PC does not put the calendar, task and contact list all in one go. They are all in separate buttons and you can't get the task and appointment appear on one screen.

Your agony is going to increase when you later found that it is not easy to enter information on your Pocket PC. Typing on a tiny keyboard is going to increase your shortsightedness. The letter recognizer don't seem to work well.

When you start putting things into your Pocket PC, you begin to understand that memory space is a pricey real estate here. We are so used to our desk top PC where you do not need to bother with storage space as you have Giga bites. For Pocket PC, you have only Mega bites to settle with!

So does that mean the dream of dumping your paper diary is just a dream and you have to dump your Pocket PC instead? No, not really if you are willing to invest on some great software designed to bring life to your Pocket PC.
