Agendus for Blackberry?

[fiddler1956]

I'd be curious to know if any thought has been given to implementing Agendus on Blackberry OS? I was an active Agendus user through at least 4 Palm-based devices, and from what I can see, there's nothing close to it available for Blackberry devices. Any thoughts?

[Gkins3]

I agree 100% and have been checking the Agendus site regularly just to see if by chance it would happen!

In the past month I have switched to Blackberry from the Palm OS for several reasons, but the ONLY thing that makes me miss my Treo is Agendus datebook and calendar!

What a gold mine should it be produced by Iambic before a lesser-company tries it half-heartedly.

Thanks for the thought at the least! :up:

Although as only a Forum Team member - this is doubtful and here some reasons that I'd speculate:

BB is very proprietary and is email eccentric and not contact centric.
Icon encoding - how would you do it without a touch screen? BB is also Outlook centric and although you could add items to the Outlook version it would still require that your Outlook server be able to upload those via the BB server.....and that's not always feasible.

Since there isn't a touch screen the engineering for adding icons via the thumbwheel.......well, IMHO, it would get very tiresome very fast and the cost to develop the programming would not be justified by the number of users that would actually buy the program after a trial period.

Also, many corporate environments (the core business of BB) would not allow the user to add software that wasn't approved and most BB clients - add only the proprietary software that they prefer to keep control.

Keep asking but I think you'd have to have a lot more people posting the request in this thread in order to generate enough interest.

[navarre]

Your wagging the dog and not the tail there :D

There is a solution but its the other way around.

Why get a blackberry and get restricted by the non-touchscreen\thumbwheel interface - when there is blackberry connect for the Treo? that lets you run practically all standard Palm apps - and you get your mail pushed as well?

Palm have been releasing BBconnect in various markets around the world starting with Singapore about 5-6 weeks ago & Australia shortly after.

I have been using BBconnect on a Treo for the last 4-5 weeks - and have been travelling from Australia through Asia - India - and now Taiwan. It has proved very reliable except for one incident in India where the TReo decided it didnt like a particular Telco and would get itself into a cycle of re-booting every time it roamed onto their service.

The BB Connect product has a bunch of limitations. The two most severe are:

1. Cingular only
2. Does not support Blackberry Internet, so you are still limited by the rapacious data rates charged by most carriers. Our company has an unlimited data plan, so it's hard to pass that up.

I'd pick up Agendus for BB in a heartbeat. There are interface limitations, but I'd settle for a limited Agendus over the basic apps offered by RIM.

[mdlissner]

Bumping this one. I recently (about 2 weeks) moved from a VZW Treo 700p to a Blackberry 8800. The stability of the device is awesome. I have not had a single soft reset issue.

The only thing I could find to do what Agendus does is PocketDay from Cross River Systems. Has a bunch of good features, but it is not Agendus.

Why couldn't Agendus use the native databases like it does on Palm in the Blackberry OS.

The limitations of the thumbwheel are lessened with the trackball on the pearl and 8800.

[chillspace]

I completely agree that Iambic should at least look into the development of Agendus for the Blackberry. RIM has been making major inroads on the consumer smartphone front so it can't be ignored. The Palm OS, even in light of the recent announcment regarding a major upgrade has lost ground to Windows Mobile. On top of that, Blackberry is the smartphone of choice in the corporate environment. Iambic, get ahead of the curve before RIM truly does reach a critical mass (the carriers are pushing the things like it's the drug of choice...).

[chillspace]

An additional note is the announcement by RIM to release a Blackberry virtualization suite that will run on Windows Mobile 6. This essentially turns WM6 smartphones into Blackberries allowing one to run Blackberry apps and have full BB functionality. They have also announced releasing and opening their Java API to developers for application development on their platform.

RIM is opening up their system Iambic...Look into it so we can have Agendus on this platform.

Eric

[mdlissner]

I believe there is a huge opportunity for Iambic to take the PIM management market on the Blackberry OS. RIM recently announced opening up its OS to developers.

As stated above the corporate world is standardizing on the BB, and with the intro of the pearl and 8800 the device is becoming more "Treo" like.

[regor99]

I have registered to the forum just to reply on this thread.

The Blackberry market is crying out for a half decent PIM program. Visit some of the blackberry forums and press search on "Agendus" just to see how much Blackberry users want your product.

It has been reported by others far more in the know than myself that Blackberrys now have 50% of the US smartphone market.

Are you just saying it's too difficult? The market is there with customers willing to pay for it.

Many new users have come to Blackberry through the Pearl and have left their Treos and MDAs behind. Get in at the ground floor and get out of the saturated Windows mobile 5&6 market already dominated by AF and PI.

What is really needed to convince you to look into this?

[chillspace]

I am one of those people that has just switched over to a Blackberry Smartphone and honestly, it hands down, out of the box beats the Palm OS offerings. Everything synced up perfectly from Outlook and realtime email to boot. I love Agendus and will continue using it on my LifeDrive but realistically, I don't know how much longer I'll be using it because of the convenience of having it all on one device which has a very stable OS as well.

Please look into developing Agendus for Blackberry devices. At a special price fors longtime Agendus users would be nice, too.

While we're on the subject, a good time/billing/project tracking app for the Blackberry would be nice as well.

Eric

[youngone]

There's definitely much to be desired from the core PIM apps that are provided with the blackberry. Having used both concurrently for the past year, palm for personal use with Agendus, and the blackberry for business with default apps, I have found myself looking to do much more with the blackberry.

Although I acknowledge that there will be some interface issues to solve on the programming end, particularly navigation around the interface, I would be sold on the feature set alone. As blackberries move away from the scroll wheel towards the trackball, navigation should be even easier.

[mdlissner]

I don't see the scroll wheel or trackball as an issue as Iambic has already released product for Windows Mobile Smartphone which has no touch screen and scroll wheels on the Q and Blackjack.

[chillspace]

Anyone at Iambic like to chime in on this thread. Would be nice to know if there is even a remote chance that Iambic will develop apps for the Blackberry.

[mdlissner]

Looks like DataViz is going to support Blackberry with Documents to Go.

Come on Iambic - now is the time to leap in to the Blackberry PIM enhancement market and be the first one in and take the market by storm.

[rsgmoose]

As a former IFT member (cause of departure was the Blackberry Pearl forced upon my by my company) - I can tell you that Adriano is very much aware of the growing nature of BB users and the potential market.

He may eventually jump into this thread and comment on the possibility of it happening.....and since I keep getting "pinged" because I'm subscribed to this thread.....my suggestion is to get more "users" to voice their "yes" vote.

Simply having discussions amongst the previous posters won't gain enough momentum - so if you have other BB users at your work place or otherwise - have them come and post their request as well......that's the way to get Iambic's attention rather than restating over and over by the same users.

[luckey]

I fully support the idea of Agendus for Blackberry and will be the first to get it. I am currently using AGendus with my Treo 680 and adore it - use it for everything - however the Treo 680 battery life very poor, and Blackberry voice calling seems much clearer - hence our company is going onto the Blackberry. Instead of carrying 2 phones, it would be wonderful to have agendus for the blackberry so I can fully switch phones.

[nicolekalves]

I am a new Blackberry 8800 user and am quite excited about this handy device, except for one thing - the calendar app is terrible!!! I had Agendus on my Palm III, Palm IV, Palm V and Sony Clie UX50. Not only am I used to this exceptional application - I can't live without it. The Blackberry allows me to access my corporate email, and I hado to move on; but life would be a lot sweeter any efficiently planned with Agendus. I have even considered sending my device back, simply because Agendus has not been developed for the Blackberry. Please Iambic ... WE NEED AGENDUS for the BLACKBERRY!!!

[k1ward]

I've had Action Names and 2 different versions of Agendus on my Palms. Now I have a 8703e after having a 7250. About the only thing I miss is my Agendus for my handheld as I still run the Windows-Outlook version on my desktop.
Please, port the program to the RIM platform.

Ken

[regor99]

I see there are over 2000 views of this thread. I dont think the Symbian or Palm users are the ones reading it. Exactly how much interest does iambic need?:cry:

[fkjr22112]

I would give my left nut for Agendus to be ported over to Blackberry!!

This would make thousands very happy!

Any plans? I myself would pay considerable for it.

[michael]

I would give my left nut for Agendus to be ported over to Blackberry!! Well....in that case, we need to really reconsider expediting this process. ;) We can't say when this might be possible, however.

I still want Agendus ported over, BUT, I'm NOT that interested. No body parts offered here, especially that one!

[mdlissner]

A bit extreme, but gets the point across.

The Blackberry platform is longing for a high function PIM enhancement/replacement application like Agendus.

I am sure there are plenty of users that would be willing to take on the pain of a beta for a while to help out.

I am more than willing to pay a fee for this, as I did for Agendus for Palm in the past. Agendus held me back from switching away from Palm to other smartphone operating system devices that may have had a better feature set.

It was a tough decision to move to the BB8800 and I considered both the Treo 680 and 750 since I could use Agendus.

[chillspace]

I have to agree that it was a tough decision to switch as well.

I was seriously considering a Treo just to be able to use the Agendus software I've invested in over the past few years, but the combination of an excellent offer from my wireless provider and the need to switch to a smartphone was to great to pass up.

I hope Iambic jumps on this before I get to used to the standard PIM on my BB. :)

[noshow]

... I've been using palms since the good ol' V and Vx. Sony Clie's were great and the hardware competition resulted in nice innovation.

Since those 1/2 dozen palm or so I've used windows devices, symbian devices and was recently just about to move to a Treo for the first time. I got talked out of it and reluctantly picked up a Blackberry 8800.

So a PDA long-time user across multiple platforms is very impressed with the Blackberry. It reminds me of the simplicity of Palm back in the day and what I belive made them so popular initially. I think it is why they are picking up steam cuz any 'Joe Blow' can pick a blackberry up and use it asap.

Anyways all that to say it is here to stay. Agreed with EVEYONE that the one thing a power user like me is missing is Agendus. It almost drove me back to Palm. An Agendus for Blackberry making use of the internal contacts, calendar, etc like it does with the palm is a no brainer.

Please???

Strong voice here for Agendus to pick up and run with this platform that is here to stay and further more, compete for top spot in the 'all-in-one' pda/phone/etc/etc market.

PS... that little trackball is awesome. Way better than expected and a scroll wheel

[rsgmoose]

Why is it always the "left" one......is this a political issue or simply that most people are right handed and would simply prefer to keep everything "right"?

Either way - about the time that Agendus for BB might get decided upon - I'll be migrating to a WM platform and will be changing my signature to reflect it in about 2 weeks.

[chillspace]

Maybe Adriano can chime in...

[mdlissner]

I would love to have Adriano's feedback on the potential for Agendus for Blackberry.

Yes the Trackball is awesome!

[adriano]

Hi,

sorry for the delay in following-up here. As much as we'd love to also have a version of Agendus running on the blackberry, at the moment it's just too big of a project for us to even start thinking about it.

Agendus on Windows Desktop, Windows Mobile, and Palm OS are plenty of platforms / editions / subplatforms / device specific oddities / and whatnot to deal with. Not even considering all the marketing / pr / copywriting / advertising effort they demand.

Throwing in blackberry with its 50+ different models each of which with its own oddities it's just too much for us to deal with right now.

That said, my crystal ball foresees a blackberry version of Agendus sometime in the future. The "sometime" part is still undefined at the moment though.

However, what does blackberry have over the palm smartphones? As I understand it both Palm OS and Palm WM both support push technology. If that is the case, then the smartphones do what the blackberry does and much much more....am I correct?

[adriano]

Yes, you are correct. It doesn't have anything that the others already don't. Nowadays any recent model of Palm OS / Windows Mobile / Symbian / Blackberry toy pretty much allows for the same things. It often comes down to a personal preference (or even more often to what the Company passes along).

With the Windows Mobile one being the most activesync push friendly, since has it out of the box without any additional server-side or client-side software requirement. But this is my personal point of view though.

- Adriano

[chillspace]

Yes, there may be different models of Blackberries in the wild but many developers are only developing for OS 4.2 and up (8700, 8800 series Blackberries). This would be a good starting point for Iambic to start developing instead of trying to cover every BB out there. It's the later versions of the smartphone that are making inroads with the non-business user.

You also have to remember that the Blackberry was built from the beginning to be a smartphone. Not only does it perform its duties as a PIM but is an excellent phone as well. Most reviews about WM based smartphones out there have concluded that it they try to be a mobile computing platform first before being a smartphone...with 'phone' being the operative word.

And one more thing I've found with my experience using a Blackberry. Their OS is very stable compared to Palm and Windows Mobile.

[mdlissner]

I have to agree with Chillspace on the stability of the Blackberry OS, and that if Iambic were to jump in it would be to support OS version 4 and up, not the older models.

I see pearls and 8800's everywhere. I would guess VZW has seen brisk sales of the 8830, and the curve will also be winner.

I long for Agendus on my 8800, but I am getting by with PocketDay, and will continue to use it and send suggestions to the developer to make it more like Agendus as they develop new versions.

How does the 8800 compare to the 700p? Consumer reports called the 700p, the best smartphone in the market, but that was at the begining of 2007. (I tend to place a high value in what Consumer Reports says because they do not receive any free products from companies, but act as a normal customer.).

I'm also interested to know how easy it was to transfer all the PIM information from palm to blackberry.....was it easy? Is it possible?

[chillspace]

Blackberry uses Intellisync for their conduit to all of the major PIMs. If you use Outlook then everything will transfer over no problem. It will also sync up with Yahoo's calendar.

[chillspace]

Keeping the thread alive ;)

There is a lot of talk over in the BlackBerry forums about having a truly functional PIM on the platform.

http://www.blackberryforums.com/aftermarket-software/67698-flexwallet-blackberry-released.html

With a whole thread referencing Agendus specifically:

http://www.blackberryforums.com/aftermarket-software/76853-pim-software-like-agendus-palm.html

As it stands, there is only one "PIM" on the market for the BB platform (PocketDay) but it doesn't even come close to having the functionality of Agendus.

Business users, especially those in sales are looking for a PIM application where some capable CRM functionality is in place. Desktop PIM applications like ACT! and Time and Chaos come to mind.

What will it take for Iambic to seriously look at developing the flagship application for RIM OS version 4.2 and up? I would forget about the older devices that may be out there (just my opinion).

Eric

[k1ward]

I'm also voting for Iambic to look seriously at porting to the newer versions of the BB.

Ken

[chillspace]

FYI, the market BB PIM applications is currently controlled by one. The application is Pocketday and it falls short of everyone's expectations. Many in the BlackBerry forums are comparing Agendus to it. Pretty sad when there is only one choice of PIM out there. :(

[lpoier]

I am itching to get Agendus (even lite!) on BB. I recently moved to a BB8800 and miss Agendus. I still use my Palm Tx (with a T3 backup just in case) but I am gravitating to a sole device world. I would have loved to have a Treo 755p but here in AUstralia we don't have them and my carrier is set on only WM Treos.

Add my vote to a tracking program as well. Please.....:D

[quicksilver]

I was a loyal Treo/Agendus user until my company decided to buy a BES and shift to the blackberry world. I am extremely pleased with the wireless synchronization for both my calendar and contacts, but am extremely disappointed with the appearance and custom capabilities of same. I would definitely invest in an Iambic product made for Blackberry OS. I'm not sure if that holds any weight, but I figured it woudn't hurt to put another name on the list.

Thanks

[rsgmoose]

Just in case you weren't subscriped to another thread where this is posted (http://www.iambic.com/products/default.asp?blackberry).

[crogs571]

how about plain old stability as a device and platform. I'm a loyal palm guy for the most part. Have owned a palm device since the Palm Professional right up to my Treo 700p. Palm as a company just plain sucks right now. They don't know how to support a product, and they don't know how to create a stable and relatively bug free product that does what they claim it does. I'm also tired of Microsoft in general. I don't want to own any more MS products than I have to. And as a phone, a majority of the WM devices are not as easy to use as the Treo is. The Treo in general is an extremely easy to use device and OS. The Linux version that they are now (finally) focusing on solely should be a return to something innovative and hopefully stable while delivering what they actually promise. But till then, the BB is fairly proven in what it does. I could care less about a touch screen if the navigation is implemented well. I figured out how to cut and paste in minutes. I could care less about push email and all that implementation. I want a strong phone, and I want a strong PDA. I want a stable device. I want a simple and intuitive GUI. The rest is fluff. I'm starting to really like the 8830, but I sorely am going to miss the PIM functionality I had on my Palm. Not like iphone idiots are missing it as the BB is definitely more robust than the iphone's PIM capabilities, but I'm spoiled by linking my contacts and all the basic PIM functions Agendus has provided me. The BB is very functional, it's just basic.

So with that run on paragraph, I can only say, get in high gear and get agendus for BB. I don't need integrated email. Keep it as a separate app for later on. Just get the PIM part going ASAP.

Also....the key letter in PIM is the P. Stands for Personal. We all have different ideas of what we want for a device. I hate slider designs. I think they're stupid. Why should I have to turn my phone around in order to type? Why do I need a big a** screen on my phone? It's my phone first, pda second, internet device third. I've been ticked ever since the Samsung i500 was abandoned. I was especially ticked at Iambic as they even abandoned it before Sprint did, and I've had that chip on my shoulder with them ever since every time they want me to pay for an upgrade before I'm even happy with the previous version. But that's another story. Bottom line is you might think X is an ideal device, but others might hate it and want Y while others want Z. We want a choice. We want competition and innovation. And we want 3rd party companies to support whatever platform we choose :-) (especially if there is a large enough user base to warrant spending the dough to develop the product. Agendus would sell very very well for Blackberry. The PIM portion is the one aspect of it where I don't understand the "crackberry" term.

However, what does blackberry have over the palm smartphones? As I understand it both Palm OS and Palm WM both support push technology. If that is the case, then the smartphones do what the blackberry does and much much more....am I correct?

[birpat]

Don't normally sign up for forums or post things but here goes.....

I loved Agendus for my old Sony Clie (clearly a very old version of Agendus) but have moved over to a blackberry since I only wanted to carry one device and the Treo was way to bulky for me. Was a little hesitant at first but now I absolutely love the blackberry...except for one thing....the calendar! It syncs up to outlook great but organization, inputing information, icons, etc are just not there. Please strongly consider Agendus for the blackberry! Clearly people are clamoring for it....I think it will be well worth Iambic's time and efforts. Thanks

[NowVoyager]

Ok. I've defected from my beloved Treo. And I'm not suffering withdrawals as yet. However, without my Agendus Pro, this could prove to be a bumpy ride. Won't you please tell us when the BB version is coming? AgP is *the* PIM of choice for me. It would be nice if I could transfer my license from my Treo so that I don't lose my investment. I would be willing to pay an upgrade price ;) . But, it would be really nice to have my existing license taken into consideration. Keeping in mind that no matter *what* platform I'm on, I'm (most likely) a lifetime customer of the Agendus Product going forward.

[Pmmears]

Very aware of the challenges of developing for Blackberry platform (I am a programmer), but given your success with Palm and recently Windows Mobile, would highly recommend delving into the Blackberry 4.1 and higher market.
I use Palm, Window Mobile and Blackberry 8800 and have Agendus on the first two. WebIS is busily working on Pocketinformant for Blackberry 4.x and is currently conducting a beta. It looks to be a solid product and I intend to buy it, but would rather stick with Agendus.

[mdlissner]

I also believe PI will take a very big marketshare by being to market before Agendus. I use Agendus for Windows and used it on my Palm OS devices up until a year ago when I moved to a BB8800.Cross River Systems is also very active in improving Pocket Day.

Thanks for the update Adriano. Great to see that you're targeting for July 15. Personally, if the BB implementation has everything the current Agendus has on my 700p I will be a very happy camper! Besides integration, I've grown very accustomed to the look and functionality of Agendus. I hope this will be similar, if not the same, in a BB device.

[adriano]

hi pdadds,

Personally, if the BB implementation has everything the current Agendus has on my 700p I will be a very happy camper!

ok I don't want to be the bearer of bad news here -- but chances that Agendus for Blackberry version 1.0 will carry all the features of Agendus for Palm OS version 12.0 are a bit unlikely. I'll let you guess the reason(s) why ;)

- Adriano

[mdlissner]

Adriano,

I think that we all understand that there will be items that will not be able to be added to Version 1 of Agendus for BB. Do you have a target list of features that you are going to try and have available? A list of current Agendus features that are not planned for Version 1?

Any guess on when a beta would take place? Looking forward to getting back to Agendus with my Blackberry.

[bimmer]

I know that programming for Blackberry is a heck of a lot more difficult than Palm OS or Windows Mobile. That is why I am not expecting feature parity with the Palm OS version, which is getting too bloated by the way. For the 1.0 Blackberry I am mainly looking for a program that:
- will integrate appointments with tasks.
- Efficient and speedy entry of appointments and tasks (most important)
-Tasks really suck with blackberry - You guys can really improve this. I cant figure out how to display tasks and due dates.

Is it possible to color code appts and tasks by category with BBs?

[adriano]

bimmer,

in reply to your questions, yes it will integrate appointments with tasks, and as much as possible we'll focus on easy of use and "speed" of entry creation / modification. There is going to be a dedicated task view with filters, etc.

Color coding categories will be supported.

Regards,

- Adriano

[Jeanette Parson]

Hi,
Have bought every version of Agendus since version 9, I think. Love it. Now I'm switching to blackberry. So happy to see Agendus will eventually be available for BB. Will the 1st version have icon support? I love the icons! Especially the expressive ones.

[rrharvey]

Just curious. I have always felt storing call details, phone logs, sms, emails, etc on a blackberry is very limited. BB tech support often suggest deleting the messages (calls, email, sms) to free up memory or solve other problems. Will Agendus address this issue by storing call logs (maybe on a SDcard) or another location on the phones physical memory and allow us to back up the logs?

[PTMINS]

Time to join the BB's club, my aging P os is due for retirement, hands up for Agendus and the behind the seen developers :)

[revcjessel]

I have downloaded agendus for blackberry several times and each time i get the following message: Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException can you help?

Got Agendus for BlackBerry Beta will let you know how it works http://www.iambic.com/agendus/blackberry/

[Fastwalking]

Maybe I’m just expecting too much but all Agendus for BB is right now is a simple "today" screen. I am an old Palm addict and I was in love with my Agendus. But you have a loooong way to go with this thing for it to even get a glimpse of Agendus for Palm. I have Agendus on my Curve and it is so rudimentary there is little reason to go to it at this point. I'm hoping this will change but I don’t know. Even the weather doesn’t work. Sorry to be such a downer but I had such high hopes. I even contemplated going back to Palm so I could get my Agendus back. Is there more coming or is this it? :(

Your comments here are both surprising and confusing. Obviously there are more views available, other than the Today View (and others coming). Also the Weather does work. Please post your specific problems, along with device info in the beta forum and we'll see if we can nail down what's up.

Also, as has been mentioned already many times in the beta forum, version 1.0 is far, far from where AGBB will eventually get to. Don't forget, AGP is at version 12.

It didn't look the way it does now (despite you feel it's bloated) at version 1.0.

Agendus uses the native database, so it should be ok.

yes, just to confirm what mdlissner mentions, Agendus support repeating events. We access the native data directly so anything you modify in the native apps is immediately reflected in Agendus, and vice-versa. We are in the process of making sure anything that the native apps expose in terms of fields, functionalities, etc. is available through Agendus as well. While of course adding the unique Agendus flavors of integration and extensibility :)

Should you spot anything that you can't access or accomplish through Agendus while it's allowed by the native apps, don't hesitate to bring it up in the beta forum.

I am currently paying $4 per month to Thinkpost.net to sync my Conts, Cals, Tasks, and Notes.

I'm not pushing this service but only bring it up because I am sure there are many of us out there that are willing to pay a small fee for a Sync service which is more professional and more secured service (than Gmail and Yahoo) free of ads and BS social networking addons and clutter.

This means that if Iambic provided such a service, you can get the $4 dollars from me and hundreds of others each and every month.

I would pay this because unlike Thinkpost, Gmail, Yahoo and any other sync server out there, yours will likely support and sync ID Photos, categories, colors, (and soon to be implemented) Icons, etc. Just like Agendus Desktop does.

If you provided an Agendus specific syn server, many of us would be in heaven.

I am curious. is there a way to take a poll to see if anyone else is interested in this?
