will you thinking of developing agendus for iphone?

For me, I used to sticking in palm treo 650 for nearly 3 years just because of having agendus pro in palm

Now, I can't wait anymore for palm to develop a newer OS with more style phone. That's why I shift to iphone and I really hope I don't need to switch to other PIM if agendus can be developed in iphone too.

Thanks

I'm sure something will materialize once Apple releases its SDK for the iPhone.

... once Apple releases its SDK for the iPhone.

Or perhaps IF Apple releases it's SDK. :rolleyes:

Or when some enterprising young geek figures out to hack its SDK?

Quote from my 24 year old son "I really like my iPhone now that I have it hacked. I finally have some cool games on it!"

Hi siduck,

I just want to add to the comments here. Adriano has said that iambic will certainly watch this area. He has said that it is more a matter of time and resources to make it happen so that will have a big part on how that plays out. I know that iambic would love to give everyone Agendus on their platforms and they are willing to keep an open mind. They would not only like to provide Agendus but for other iambic titles as well. :)

Looks like the iPhone SDK is on the way Hey iambic, what about joining the Apple Developer Connection and get the SDK, at least to take a look at it?

Yes, I really like to find an Agnedus for iPhone... I switched few days ago (France) and as on the Mac, the Agenda and the Adresses Book are not as powerfull as the Agendus was on my Tréo 650

I hope ...

FYI this is the beginning of a correspondence with Tech Support. The funny thing is that the iPhone sorta syncs with Outlook/Agendus:

Heres how...
Completely updated my T3 contacts/appts etc. and sync it with Agendus for Palm Desktop.
I then installed Agendus for Windows.
Then I did a switch sync and ran the sync with Outlook
Agendus then displayed great on Outlook.

I then tried a sync with my iPhone.
All my contacts and schedule moved to the iPhone no problem. And further any new appointment on the desktop went to the iPhone with no problem.

It is just when I reversed the direction, an appointment would go to Outlook, but only register as an allday appointment. I would make the corrections, and it showed correctly.

So it is almost two way. Unfortunately I enter most of my appointments on the iPhone so this doesn't work too well for me.

Thanks for the report on the synchronization between Outlook with Agendus and your iphone.

As far as synchronization issue you are having, are you sure it doesn't have to do the conduits you are using? The reason I ask is, Agendus basically reads information from Outlook rather than from your device.

Also, if I understand right, appointments entered in Agendus for Windows Outlook Edition and Outlook are appearing correctly on your phone, but appointments on your phone aren't appearing right in Outlook. This makes me wonder if you have an iphone conduit setting you missed or something. Do the times appear off only in Agendus views within Outlook, or in all Outlook views?

I have uninstalled Agendus due to the issues. However, I experience no problems with the iPhone/iTunes conduits. I can successfully set up appointments in both venues.
However, I note in a discussion with Lamar/Tech Support the following:
The interesting fact is that Agendus uses the Palm OS databases - contacts, calendar, memos, and tasks - as an intermediary between the Palm and Outlook. Even if you use Agendus for Outlook WITHOUT a Palm device to sync, the Palm Desktop has to be there to be the intermediary.

I've used Agendus and other Iambic products for years starting with my Palm, Palm Treo and Blackjack. I've switched to an iPhone and it was hard leaving Agendus behind. If they could offer only one native application for the iPhone Agendus would have to be it. Of all the applications I've used that is the one I miss the most. When I converted I converted three phones. One for me and the other members of my family. When Agendus is available for the iPhone I will be the first in line. OK, behind the hundreds of others waiting for Agendus.

I love the iPhone. I purchased three at Christmas, one for me, my wife and one for my niece (she is 28 and like a daughter to us). When she opened her's at Christmas she screamed so loud my wife thought something had happend to her. Any way, of all the phones I've had I get the best reception in the house with the iPhone. Every other phone I've owned would not give me good reception in the house. My wife tells me it has something to do with that extra 2000 feet of video and network cable it have running through the house. Also I love reading so I can down load books on cd, ipods, vidoes and music so I always have something to do while standing in line. Another nice thing is if I'm at home and need to check something on the net I don't have to run to my office or fire up a laptop. I just pull it up on my phone.

thanks for the pointer to techcrunch, it's a good summary of what I found while going through the docs and the list of dos and don't iphone development related.

Another drawback is -- at least for us -- that iphone development requires a mac. I was (naively) hoping in a slim sdk supporting multiple dev enviroments, starting off with eclipse. Instead the sdk includes the development environment itself (xCode) or probably would be more correct to say the other way around, the sdk is a version of xCode prepackaged with iphone programming support. The setup .dmg is a 2+ gigs file.

Anyway... investigating. Anyone knows a virtual machine software supporting MacOSX virtualization? ;)

Does anyone see issues with the development of Agendus and the limitations of the SDK in the iPhone? i.e.- no programs can run in the background...will that cause issues with syncronization between the native calendar/contacts app and Agendus? I assume a task panel will be introduced as well. I just went to the iPhone and am VERY MUCH looking forward to an Agendus for it! Tasks would be a HUGE help!

we don't see the fact that one 3rd-party program only is allowed to run at any time as a major problem -- this is the same sort of limitation we are used to when developing for the "classic" Plam OS (where the limitation there is imposed by the operating system itself).

Will Iambic make an announcement around the release of iPhone 2.0? This would be a smart thing to do as the first PIM software available will gain much ground with the iPhone faithful. Just a suggestion. I'm sure that you've already been thinking in that direction.

That really helps to know that the SDK limitations won't (hopefully) get in the way. I do feel sorry for Palm as unless they come up with a miracle, they seem dead.

I would switch immediately to using my Iphone as a calendar if I had Agendus. I would settle for Agendus Lite. What I need is the ability to link contacts to the calendar function as I can on my Palm with Agendus. I hope Apple doesn't get in the way!

at the moment we are still a bit hesitant on this, since so far we didn't hear back from Apple whether we are in the (small apparently) group of developers that will be allowed to distribute their software through the (only) available distribution channel: iTunes. We'll keep you posted.

After using Palm's Blazer web browser, and watching its development over the years, I have to say that the browser, Safari, on the iPhone is another great leap forward. It's worth the cost of the iPhone for the improved browser alone.
I, too, await a version of Agendus for the iPhone.

I'm basically waiting for you guys to put out Agendus for Iphone to switch from my 3 (or 4) yr old Treo 650 to the Iphone. I've also been considering the HTC tilt but have heard bad things about Windows Mobile - from very knowledgeable and trustworthy people (who do custom ROM's for Treos, etc.). I've also worked with an Iphone and tweaked about 3 or 4 and the only app missing for me is a better calendar/contact/task manager - which Agendus has been for me for many years. So PLEASE... hurry up! I'll be glad to beta test it!

I am really stunned by all this iphone hype. I am testing a browser (Skyfire) on my Q that does what Safari does, so I don't see much there. Agendus on an iphone would certainly make it more attractive, but I have now run into a few people with iphones who tell me that they have problems with it too (soft resets, etc...). There is no perfect phone, even with Agendus.

cameraguy
April 15th, 2008, 04:19 AM
I don't think anyone has said the iPhone was perfect, as you pointed out no phone is. But it is a very nice phone that has a lot of potential. With the addition of Agendus it would make it near perfect. I've purchased three iPhone, for myself and family members. I've done a couple of soft resets since I've had mine. I had to take one back to be replaced. We took it back to the Apple store and they replaced it and we were out the doore with her new phone working in less than 30 minutes. I've owned Palm phones which I've had to reset, hard and soft, more than once. I had a Black Jack with I loved prior to the iPhone. I've reset that more than once. So no phone is perfect, but for the near future the iPhone will be the one others with be measured against.

like another poster, Agendus is what kept me on my Treo as the Palm ecosystem began to falter

somehow my wife read my mind that I wanted an iPhone for Christmas, and the rest is history

It is a terrific work of engineering.

Currently I use OmniFocus on my Mac as a GTD solution (again, Agendus doesn't run on Mac) and they are working furiously on porting to iPhone.

But frankly I'm a little dubious that Omni will do a good tight iPhone UI. I love their other products, but they are a bit expansive with screen space. My best-of-both-worlds would be to have a nice iambic-quality iPhone UI with my OmniFocus database.

Syncing is a substantial issue with OmniFocus files, I have to rebuild all the time.

Java on iPhone looks dicey or delayed (thanks Apple)

Knuckle down and get a Mac Mini and go for it - use a KVM. Must be Intel. You can even save a bit more by buying a used Mini from a place like PowerMax. Or talk to your Splash buddies.

Best,

Well, I HAVE TO HAVE AGENDUS. I'm sick of carrying around a phone AND a Palm; the Blackberry doesn't impress me; and poor Palm, much as I love 'em, look pretty weak. Besides, the best thing about my Palm is Agendus (and ePocrates).
So, Adriano: Any estimate about when a Beta of Agendus will be ready to test on the iPhone? I work with SW engineers, so whatever you say I'll add about 6 months to the estimate delivery date...haha Nurseferatu

I've had a longer experience with the Treo than with the Iphone, but my Treo CERTAINLY has more resetting/freezing problems than the Iphone. At the end of the day it's all about the applications that are installed and how well they're written to work with the OS.

well then that makes my estimating easier -- let's say end of the year :)

Anyway -- guesstimates aside, we do have the iphone in our roadmap of platforms to develop software for, and with this I'm not saying we'll develop only Agendus for it, although it's among our priorities.

At this time we are closing the loop on various updates, many of them cross platform and involving brand new localized versions as well. Once this process is over we'll be in better shape to seriously focus on the iphone and everything that surrounds it.

Thanks again for your feedback and willingness to contribute. Anyone interested to be kept in the loop, in addition to following these forums is also welcome to subscribe to the notification list we have at:

I hate the heavy treo 650 for long long time. I keep it is because of the agendus pro only. As you know, the iPhone is really attractive with very very reasonable price. I must change to the new iPhone in July or August. If agendus doesn't have a iPhone version, I must said bye to agendus and palm.

My thoughts . . . and a question . . .

I love Agendus and the integration of contacts, calender, and tasks is invaluable. After watching the entire WWDC keynote it seems to me (and I know NOTHING about programing) that accessing the iPhone's data bases isn't too difficult and creating some form of Agendus on the iPhone might be easier than starting from scratch on other platforms.

So I'm thinking that those of us who use Agendus are tech-junkies who are very picky about how we use our data and how it's displayed (that's why we use Agendus). Also, we love convenience and cool hand-held devices. The iPhone is right up our alley, and if there isn't Agendus available right away then we might be forced try something else maybe even MobleMe with some work-around for "Tasks" if they don't have it. And after we convert our Palm data to Outlook then start synching with MobileMe you may have lost A LOT of customers.

So before July 11th rolls around, does Iambic have any advice or suggestions to your current customers who LOVE Agendus and are planning on getting an iPhone?

I have to say that I agree with this...if Iambic doesn't have much to offer in the first two to four months after the App Store launches (and Mobile Me for that matter), I think Iambic will lose any ground it could gain on the iPhone platform.

For me, I plan on implementing the Mobile Me service almost right away. It does not seem as though there is a good PIM software out there and Mobile Me keeps me from having to sync all of the time. I'll only have to physically connect my iPhone to my computer if I want different music on it! The biggest thing missing on the iPhone is a task application, but I've found some work arounds for that.

So I changed my mind... and I will wait for the first GPhone (i.e. OS Android) next fall... It's an Open source Platform dedicated to applications writers... What else could we want?

For years I have used Palms with Agendus, synced with Apple Mac OS X and its built-in iCal and Address Book, using the excellent third-party Missing Sync software from Mark/Space. I haven't used the Palm Desktop for Mac in ages.

If Iambic really wants to get it right, they'll develop an iPhone program that fully cooperates with Apple's new iSync technology for Mac OS X Leopard and the iPhone 2.0. Agendus will automatically sync with Apple iCal, Address Book and Mail on the Mac, and with Apple's conduit to Microsoft Outlook on Windows.

Come on, Iambic. I can't live without Agendus but I want an iPhone 2.0!

Yep. This is the problem. Iambic has said not to expect Agendus on the iphone until the end of the year or later, if ever. They needed to be there on July 11th. Since they aren't, people will buy Pocket Informant and Agendus will have to make something really incredible to get them to pay AGAIN.

I'm very sad about it because I was a long time agendus user before the Iphone came out. But the Iphone blows away my Treo in so many ways that I'll work with whatever company is porting a decent PIM.

iMarc845
July 8th, 2008, 03:26 AM
Add me to the list of Agendus Premiere users who've kept their Treo 650 just because of Agendus.

And even though I signed up for Iambic's iPhone news email list when it was first announced, I've never received a single email from them about it. Apparently, the hottest new platform (which is guaranteed to outlive Palm) isn't attractive enough for Iambic to devote resources to it.

I don't know for sure, but I'll be REALLY surprised if there isn't a decent PIM available this coming Friday when The AppStore launches. I was hoping it would be Agendus. It's truly a shame it won't be.

Despite all the bugs and issues with Agendus on my Treo 650 (and there are MANY), it has kept me using the Treo until now. The integration of data between contacts, to do's, alarms , etc. was always "Best In Class". I'll now be forced to learn and use something else.

But as others have pointed out, arriving six months (or more) late to this party will leave too huge a gap for Iambic to overcome. Everyone I've spoken to about the iPhone 3G has said the same thing: I need a real PIM. That's what a LOT of people are expecting on July 11. And I'm pretty sure SOMEONE will be there with a quality product. Agendus at year-end (or later) is going to miss the boat. And that is a shame. Especially since I've been an Iambic customer since my Newton days.

You're right--it's boggling to me how, in this day and age, where companies have so much access to their customers via the Internet, they can't take two minutes (literally) to update a part of their user base. Even a simple frickin' note defining a loose timeline (quarters rather than months) would be useful.

At this point, Agendus is the only thing keeping me on my TX, and I'm not about to sell my first born to AT&T for a 3g iPhone. I am interested in the iTouch though (same platform), and if ANYTHING comes up that looks interesting and offers similar functionality to Agendus, I'm jumping and Iambic loses me as a customer after 3+ years.

:weird: I'm now looking elsewhere for a new Smartphone... The Iphone being not so appealing:

1- The battery can not be changed (so after one or two year, you'll have to throw it away (maybe in a recycling site!)
2- There is no CUT & PASTE
3- No video recording (the sheapest cell phone can do it!!)
4- No Bluetooth A2DP (so no stereo headphone could be used)
5- The 3G connectivity is limited to 1,4Mbps, while it can go up to 7,1Mbps

If I compare the Iphone to the "HTC Diamond" or the "Samsung Omnia", it stays behind in term of features.

And with those WinMo device, you can installed "StyleTap" to run a lot of Palm Software... moreover, there is a WinMo version of Agendus!

Then in conclusion, I'll say bye bye to the Iphone... and I'll still remain an user of Agendus

Cool! Since the 3G iphone is only using a fifth of 3G and already downloads at about 2/3 the speed of WiFi, that must mean that the HTC and the Omnia are downloading 3 times faster than WiFi. I'm sure WiFi will be obsolete soon and we can get all our data straight off of 3G.

Missed that in the news, but I'm sure it will be there soon...

The appstore opened with no PIM and Pocket Informant saying they are a few months out. Let's hope that Agendus is just being conservative in their estimate and can beat PI to the punch.

:cool:Yes the Iphone speed is limited, it's an implement asked by Apple to extend the durability of the battery.

Extract from Mobile Magazine:
A resounding cheer could be heard all across the nation (and possibly the globe) when Steve Jobs took to the stage and officially unveiled the 3G iPhone to the world. He promised a wireless data connection that would be a full 2.4x faster than the EDGE found in the first iPhone, but why can't the iPhone 3G go even faster?

As it stands, AT&T is only going to let the iPhone 3G connect at a maximum of 1.4Mbps. Contrast this to the 3.6Mbps downstream that the AT&T HSDPA network can handle and the 7.2Mbps connection that AT&T is promising by the end of the year. If the 3G iPhone is truly capable of being this fast, why would they want to limit your mobile experience? Well, the biggest hurdle is battery life. If you go through data at the top end of HSDPA, your phone isn't going to last more than a couple of hours. As it stands, you can only achieve five hours of wireless surfing, so you can imagine how bad it would be at 7.2Mbps.

Secondly, while AT&T says that they'll be able to handle the bigger data draw, they don't want to deal with the increased cell site congestion and backhaul. "It's not like the pipe is unlimited", so it's better to throttle the connection (and keep it reliable) than to let all hell break loose (and have connections dropped).

I wouldn't worry. With the exception of Epocrates and SplashID, the only "apps" in the iPhone store are games. Better the Iambic developers take their time.

If you go through data at the top end of HSDPA, your phone isn't going to last more than a couple of hours. As it stands, you can only achieve five hours of wireless surfing, so you can imagine how bad it would be at 7.2Mbps.

that's why I love my Treo 750 -- HSDPA sweetness constantly connected (the exchange activesync push sort of forces it to stay always on) and it last a good 24 hrs before starting begging for juice. Not great, but certainly better than 5 hrs ;)

And in regards to Agendus for the iphone -- we are a bit busy these days (well been that way for the few past months I should say) with the BlackBerry flavor of Agendus, but we are certainly not ignoring or forgetting about the iphone.

Rather than wrapping up something quick for the iphone -- with the risk of disappointing -- we figured to instead take a bit more time, evaluate the pros and cons of the 2.0 platform, and then ramp up development around it with a clearer picture.

It would be great if you moved this up, given the positive reception for the iPhone. I can get my wife to wait for iPhone agendus, but only for so long.

Hi All,

I just read an article detailing all the shortcomings of the apps in the iPhone. From What I have seen, Agendus more than makes up for all of these issues. It will be a dad-gum shame it Iambic doesn't take the ball and run like crazy with this one. Agendus Pro is unmatched in my experience, and I'd like to see ya'll stay out from. It is only Agendus and Salling CLlcker that are making it very, very difficult to give up my Palm Treo 700p.

Please move out on this. And, I'll even volunteer to beta test the releases on my iPhone (my company says they are shipping it "soon."

Thanks for such a wonderful product.

Thank you for your kind words.

And please don't forget this (http://www.iampowered.com/archives/2008/03/11/iambic_titles_and_the_iphone_a.php).

I think it's just ducky that Iambic has plans to bring Agendus to the iPhone. I was very pleased when I heard that news about a month ago, I believe. I immediately signed up for the email list.

To date, I have not received a single email. Not even a "...thanks for signing up..." acknowledgement. I'm not expecting "War and Peace". But how about SOME communication?!?!?!

Hi All,

first off sorry for such a long absence from this thread -- as you can see from the activity on other forums, lately we have been rather busy with betas. Ok, we know you couldn't care less, since you have or you plan to get an iPhone :)

Going straight to what are we doing iPhone-wise, how's Agendus for iPhone going, and when will it be available questions... we are moving forward. I don't feel like committing to hard set dates, or create false expectations. That said, we are hoping to get iPhone owners something to have fun with these coming winter holidays.

Excellent news! We have waited for this! Do you have plans for a mac version on desktop to support and sync Iphone with?

Exactly. Could NOT care any LESS. This is like telling someone who's drowning that "...we're too busy helping these folks here on the shore to rescue you from the river." I don't know the size of iambic's staff. But if you plan to add additional platforms (i.e.: crackberry and iPhone), you should consider reallocating (and adding) resources. After all, the Palm support has been absolutely abysmal :down: in the last two years. If that's what's planned for iPhone... forget it.

(Continued in next post...)

It's nice to hear that there actually IS something planned. I STILL have not received a single email from the "mailing list" for which I signed up many weeks ago. Nothing. Nada. Not one.

However, based upon prior experience, if you're "...hoping...winter holidays...", my realistic expectation is June 2009. :rolleyes:

That said, I do appreciate you posting (and I'm not being facetious here). I suppose I just had my original hopes and expectations too high.

Hi -- thanks the feedback received so far.

This thread has been moved to the new "Agendus for iPhone" dedicated forum, therefore for everything related to Agendus and other titles of ours for iPhone please open up a new thread.

Thanks!
