Cost prohibitive

[Nrdvana]

$40 just seems a little steep. In my experience, most all Palm programs are quite a bit less expensive. Any promotions or specials coming our way? How about a break for those of use registered Agendus for Palm users?

Thx:up:

Hi,

not sure from where this $40 came from ;) ... in any case please note that AGW is not a Palm application.

On my copy of AGW, if you go to "About iambic Agendus" under "Help", it not only gives you the basic info. It also shows a button labeled "Purchase...". When I click on it, it states a price of $39.95. Is that not the current price? Am I missing something?

As far as AGW not being a Palm app, you're right... I stand corrected. It is, however, basically an enhancement to the (free for download) Palm Desktop software. Maybe as developement continues and features increase, the benefit will outweigh the cost.

I would like to go on record as saying that $40 is extremely reasonable. The program is essentiallly a PIM and any other PIM would cost a lot more and would not be able to inferface with the Palm Agendus. A $50 price is acceptible if I thought the increase would go to development and refinement.

and would not be able to interface with PD and Outlook as well ;)

it is, without a doubt a good PIM. Over the years I've looked at quite a few, and even used the Palm desktop on it's own for a while when I didn't have a Palm !

It would be even better (wider audience) if it had it's own data store, so could operate totally independantly of Outlook / PD

In the case of having PD installed, it is a great enhancement over the functionality that it offers (hmmm... maybe PalmSource or Sony will buy it off you <g>) but you still end up using a second mail application.... needing a whole seperate address book (Mozilla, Eudora, TheBat, Pegasus etc all fail to share external address books)

If you have Outlook already installed then the question really becomes why bother ? I've been using the AGW beta along side Outlook for a while now, and have dropped back to Outlook almost exclusively because for me email remains important

It AGW included Iambic Mail for Windows as well, and it's own data-store.... then there would be more than a justification of the $

I hate to say it (and I still hope that beta testers will get at least 50% discount) but this software is worth any price comaprable to competition. It is ust clever, simple and good. and it allows at last to make reasonable use of the palm in conjunction with the pc. what more were we always looking for?
