iPhone Docked

Before I get too far with this, I need to offer some kind of disclaimer and explain my relationship with Iambic. I am an Agendus fangirl. It’s really as simple as that. I am Agendus biased. I wrote several reviews about Agendus for Palm back in the day. Agendus was my number one go to app on my Centro and Treos before that. I used to spend hours hanging out on the Iambic forums giving users advice – whether they wanted it or not. I finally spent so much time there, that Adriano Chiaretta said “hey, why not join the Iambic Forums Team.” I was tickled pink. Then I discovered that active Iambic Forum Team members get a small monthly honoraria and I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. After all, that was do what I was already doing, only now I could represent and pick up a few bucks? Woohoo!!

This does not mean I love all Iambic’s products. I dislike Agendus Mail. Seriously. But I know what works and what doesn’t, and I understand where the company is trying to go. The goal, as I see it, is simple: get the functions of Agendus for the Palm on all possible platforms. The goal is simple…it’s the implementation that’s not. You see, Palm’s version is 13 – it’s mature. Heck, it’s so mature that Palm Inc. has put the entire platform out of its misery! What many users fail to understand is that you can’t just take a mature app for platform A and put it through a transformer and have it come out the other end intact and ready to be run on platform B. You have to code everything from scratch.

That brings us around to Agendus for the iPhone, which is in its infancy. Think Action Names – which is what Agendus was before it went through puberty (if you will), and became Agendus. It was a contacts manager. Right now, Agendus for iPhone is pretty much a contacts manager. I could go through everything AGiP doesn’t have that AGP does. But as I’ve pointed out, no other version of Agendus on any platform has what AGP does – but they get closer and closer every day.
