For all former Palm platform users who loved Pimlico Software's DateBk. PimliCal looks to be the next generation of DateBk and may be ported to BlackBerry.
As a still registered DateBk user from my Palm days, I just received this message from Pimlico Software:
News from Pimlico Software:
First - PIMLICAL has been released. This is a completely new calendar/PIM application written from scratch, that starts the process of freeing DateBk users from the Palm OS platform.
It is appearing now as a Windows Desktop calendar application, and because it can read and write the DateBk Tagged note field, and handles DateBk features like advances, floating events, icons, colors, fonts, integrated display of Tasks, etc. it will also function as the long-awaited "Datebk Desktop for windows". It basically replaces the Palm Desktop with a far more powerful calendar application while also supporting tasks, memos and contacts.
HOWEVER - because it is written to be a cross-platform application, it will soon appear for Mac's and Linux desktops and during 2010 will also start rolling out as handheld versions for most all handhelds currently on the market. Blackberry, Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile are targeted platforms. iPhone may follow if Apple changes its policies on third party libraries such as Adobe Flash Player, Sun's JVM, etc. A native version for the new Palm Pre is still a question mark - it's probably not practical to implement an application as complex as Pimlical in javascript, but there's obviously a JVM embedded somewhere in the Pre and if access were made available, that could change that picture. However, with WebOS1.2, the Pre can now sync all the PIM data in the classic (Palm OS) environment to the Palm desktop/Pimlical, so you can basically run DateBk6 just the same way as you did on a palm OS device on the Pre!
Information on Pimlical is available on Pimlico's home page
