Q: Where can I find an overview of the features present in Agendus for Windows Mobile? Is there a screenshot collection somewhere already?
A: The feature list is available here (http://www.iambic.com/agenduspro/wmppc/whatsnew.asp). For more information and screenshots visit the main Agendus for Windows Mobile Pocket PC Professional Edition (http://www.iambic.com/agenduspro/wmppc/) page, as well as the details (http://www.iambic.com/agenduspro/wmppc/details.asp) area. The feature list will be kept up to date as new features will be added along the upcoming beta builds.
Q: How can I participate in the public beta?
A: Look in this forum a sticky threads titled "Agendus for Windows Mobile Beta Build XXX" which contains the latest available build. Download it, install it, play with it, and report your findings in this forum.
Q: Are there going to be multiple editions like with Agendus Palm?
A: Yes, there are going to be a Standard and Professional Edition
Q: What editions are going to be available in this beta program?
A: You'll have the opportunity to try Agendus for Windows Mobile Pocket PC Professional Edition. We don't plan a beta for the standard edition. Later on the Smartphone Professional Edition will be made available here as well.
Q: What platforms does Agendus for Windows Mobile Pocket PC Edition support?
A: Agendus for Windows Mobile Pocket PC Edition requires Windows Mobile 5 or above. At the moment we are not planning to support earlier OS versions.
Q: Is the beta of Agendus for Windows Mobile for everyone?
A: No, like any other beta software, this beta is for an audience willing to take risks. Despite internally tested, the software might present instabilities, require soft resets, adversely affect data, and introduce other unforeseen side-effects.
Q: Do you have any suggestion or best practice on how to report bugs and feature requests effectively?
A: In general, when reporting bugs, create a separate thread for each bug, title the thread something like "AGWM PPC build xxx - brief description of the bug", and in the body of the thread describe the problem. Make sure to report feature requests in the appropriate forum (http://support.iambic.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=128). Complete beta guidelines are available here (http://support.iambic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8368).
Q: I'm using the beta and I run into a problem. Where can I report it? Can I submit a ticket to tech support?
A: The right place where to report issues or feature requests about Agendus for Windows Mobile is this forum. Please refrain from submitting support tickets about Agendus for Windows Mobile. Report your findings here instead. Having all bug reports in one place helps us out in quickly isolating and addressing them.
Q: Is Agendus for Windows Mobile going to have all the features present on Palm and Windows Desktop counterparts?
A: Version 1.0 has already a good amount of functionality (including category colors, pictures, icons, custom edit dialogs), and brings over the paradigm of usability, simplicity, smoothness and UI pleasantness which characterizes Agendus across all platforms. Moving forward we'll keep migrating functionality as meaningful and enhancing it with novel features as we constantly do with our other Agenduses. During this beta program additional features might roll in as time allows.
Q: I'm really missing this feature, or I'd really like this additional one. Where should I report feature requests.
A: we have a forum for feature requests (http://support.iambic.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=128) related to Agendus for Windows Mobile. Feel free to visit it now and post your enhancement idea. We read and consider all requests.
Q: Is Agendus for Windows Mobile going to be available also for WM Smartphone?
A: Yes, but a bit later. The first beta program will be for WM Pocket PC kind of devices (i.e. all handhelds and smartphones with touch screen), while the version for WM Smartphone (i.e. the smartphones without touch screen) will come up afterwards.
Q: What is going to be the price of Agendus for Windows Mobile?
A: The Professional Edition will be priced at $24.95, while the Standard Edition at $19.95
Q: I'd really like to purchase Agendus for Windows Mobile Pocket PC now. Is it already possible?
