Personal Organizer In Depth

Mobile data on your Palm handheld and on paper made easy!






World class Palm synchronization
Personal Organizer offers the most advanced Palm synchronization options available so you can confidently take your information on the road.
Think Before You Sync
With other organizers, synchronizing to your Palm handheld is like shooting at a moving target in the dark. Personal Organizer provides an industry first Palm Sync Setup Wizard which puts you in control before your first sync. You avoid surprises and potential data loss.
You Call The Shots
Other organizers force you to synchronize all of your information or none of it. But you may not want everything on your computer tranferred to your Palm. Personal Organizer's Palm Sync Setup Wizard lets you choose which categories of information you want to sync with your Palm. Another industry first.
Expand Your Horizons
With the Palm Sync Setup Wizard, you can synchronize information from more than one person to a single Palm handheld. This means that you can store your spouse's to-do list and your son's soccer schedule on your handheld. No other organizer offers this degree of power and flexibility.


Powerful reporting engine
Personal Organizer comes with a built-in word processor that can be used to produce numerous types of reports.
Produce Brilliant Reports
