I’ve been a great fan of Agendus on the palm for a few years now. I loved the enhancements to the built in datebook and contacts that it gave me. Being able to have icons for meetings meant that I could quickly glance at my diary and get an overall view.

But since updating to the version 10 product I’ve had to trade more eye candy and some potentially useful new tools for speed. And this is now getting in the way, and creating a definite psychic resistance.

The litmus test for me has been that a few times now I have deliberately looked at my diary with the built in palm app, as I can no longer stand the 2-5 second delay that Agendus is causing. It’s an irritation and it’s causing me to be less effective.

Apparently I’m not the only one with this complaint…

One of the reasons I stick with palm is the instant on, instant go philosophy. I want the ‘turn on, click icon, check info, turn off, get back on with what I was doing’ system, and now Agendus isn’t cutting it.

So I’m on the lookout for a simple icon addition to the palm datebook, or else may even go back to vanilla.
