Review of the outline-programs for the Palm

Each of us from time to time there is a need to make, long or not, a list of their cases, or, say, shopping - no need to keep in mind what has been done (bought) or not enough to see whether a check mark in front. Especially if you, as they say now has a project (especially if the project is not one). What to do this? Yes sheer trifle - a piece of paper and a pen. There are, however, several disadvantages, the main one - is absolutely necessary to have this sheet with you, so you can always check out what else needs to be done, and, most importantly, put that same check (for example, and where the same had happened to it stick ...). We must also note that this important list is very simple, if not even lose, then just lay some papers, not to mention the fact that he can wrinkle. In order to save people from these problems and have devised special programs, so-called outline-managers. On desktop computers, they have existed for a long time, there is a corresponding function, and in all your favorite MS Office. But even the use of these programs does not solve the very problem of "leaf and a pen, but only makes it easier to create and edit lists for further use away from the computer it will still have to print - do not take the same computer (even a laptop) with me to the store . Fortunately, this is not an argument for the owner Palm'a - will be with them, all sorts of paper-notes carry. To do this, he is always at hand his trusty handheld, let alone find a suitable program. In principle, for these purposes (with certain restrictions) you can use built-in ToDo, and Memo, but there is a special outline-programs that combine the functionality of the desktop with the simplicity, compactness and speed of a sheet of paper. The most popular programs Arranger and BrainForest. Less known are the Bonsai and Shadow Plan, as well as the relatively recently introduced, but had already managed to attract the attention of users of freeware-program Progect. Although this list of programs is certainly not limited to, there is still ThoughtManager, Hi-Note and others. There are also several programs with a more narrow specialization - for example, compiling a shopping list, without having to use deadlines or setting priorities. Here, I would advise to pay attention to the program ListMaker. Lists of things to collect in the road, products that you need to buy - they make it easier to ListMaker'e. It should be noted that the interface of all programs is virtually identical and very similar to text editors: the top line with the name list, and some of the controls below the main toolbar, and all the space between them, given the actual list. So apparently all the differences between the programs lie in the toolbar window and edit the properties of a list item. All these programs have the support drag'n'drop to move, and grouping of records. - 32k notes (except Progect and ThoughtMan)

Arranger

Review of the outline-programs for the Palm
The first of these programs, Arranger, stands out among its competitors more closely integrate with built-in applications. And while other programs of this review to a different extent can communicate with ToDo and Memo, but the opportunity to include in the lists contacts Address Book, Date Book event, and even records from the Expense boasts only Arranger. This is its main advantage and, simultaneously, the main drawback - apart from inserting records from the built-in programs (or rather, a reference to those records) and placing them in the tree, Arranger almost nothing he can. Generally, we can say that in terms of internal structure is very simple (if not poor) program with a limited set of features and capabilities. So nice to see it quite competitive, export / import and export to Memo format Doc, and when you export you can get the text, separated by spaces, tabs, and even in the form of HTML markup. B minus this program can also supply the absence of even a simple conduit.It's inexcusable and the fact that for a program with such a price documentation frankly not enough, apparently the author expects only experienced user, but he is unlikely to leave the program which he uses to go to the Arranger.

As a result, we get a program that is almost not renewed, has a majority of necessary functions and is simply not worth the money. The only thing that allows it to locate their users, so its crown is the ability to create links to the built-in Palm-recording software. URL: http://www.olivebr.com/
