I’ve got to pipe up on the PocketBreeze option as well. PocketBreeze benefits from a longer, richer history with an enormous following. The developers are highly active in the product forums, and solicit the user base for feature requests and have many times worked one-on-one with individual users to enhance the product to their liking.

SPB Diary came along about a year ago as a copy of PocketBreeze (my opinion) along with SPB Weather, also inspired by PocketWeather another SBSH product.

I’m sure its a good product, as SPB is well known for quality software, but I believe PocketBreeze is the best of breed in this software catagory.

No argument that PocketBreeze is a highly effective and similar application. Folks can download a free trial at the link Joe provided. Like most software, there's a level of personal preference involved to see what works best for you.

I agree with Joe. PocketBreeze is a fantastic product. I’ve used it for at least 1 1/2 years now. It is feature-rich and offers great support.

My suggestion is readers try out both and see what works for them.

any idea as to how this compares to PocketBreeze [1]? I switched from Diary to PocketBreeze a while back due to better one-handed navigation (i.e. not using the stylus) on the Treo 700w. it looks like the beta finally has one-handed navigation but i'd be interested to see a comparison between the two.
