LetsTalk's PhoneTalk blog wants to add new voices to its website, and they're posting regular issues here for the Techdirt Insight Community to add interesting new content to their site. The winning submissions for each challenge issue will be posted (perhaps with some editing) on the PhoneTalk blog -- with credits to the author. The following is LetsTalk's next assignment:
Personal Information Management (PIM) functionality is a cornerstone of smartphones, and the ability to sync with users' PCs is a key selling point. But users of lower-end handsets are also interested in PIM features like calendars and better phonebooks -- even if their devices' native applications are limited. What are the alternatives for PIM software for users of "lesser" handsets -- be it installed Java or BREW applications, or web-based services? What are some of the best apps for calendaring, or for contact sync, backup and management?
