My wife has been using PI on her iphone for all most two years and really loves it, the problem I have is that the PI backup from the iphone can not be restored on the PI on my HTC Android phone. Is there any way to sync the PI on the two different phones?

Someone please help me. I really like PI. For some reason it no longer syncs to my mac. This happens every once in a while. Could someone tell me the steps to coordinate PI through google calendar?

When will being able to add contact information by accessing the iPhone contact database be available. This was so easy with Blackbery and it is so hard to do with iPhone and any PIM on the iPhone. Many thing make me like the IPhone better than the Blackberry but this one thing would help the the most.

thanks. Downside is that in future days I see all current open tasks. Hope someone knows a good calender which offers this.
But thanks anyway!

Stefan- It is possible to set up recurring tasks that repeat every day. It isn’t completely automatic, as you have to check the task for it to be regenerated on next day. When you are finished, either delete the task, or turn off the recurring feature for that task. This is probably as close as you can get right now. Hope that helps.

I have those action points which I need to do, but I am not always able to do them. Than I want them to move automatically with the days (to everytime the current day). So I don’t want every day to move these actions from yesterday to today. Does anyone know if this is possible with this app?

Thanks for reading guys. My understanding after talking to Alex from WebIS is that all of your native calendar information, no matter where it comes from on the iPhone side, will be shown in PI starting in version 1.6. If you have Exchange or MobileMe, and that info is pushed to you, then it will end up in PI, just as it would in the native Calendar app. You just have the small limitations that I mentioned in my review. At $5.99, you might grab it now and just wait until 1.6 to fully implement it. Hope this answers your questions.

QUOTE: @Jerry G — native iCal support. Now that Apple opened up the iCal ApI, I am hoping that WebIs can use the a pi's to read and write to the native database to provide a seamless experience. —

Agreed 100%. Until there's native iCal Support, PI isn't going back on the phone. Great app to be sure, but I would prefer ti use the native calendaring as opposed to Google's calendar APIs.

Great writeup by the way.

I have had PI for the iPhone for quite awhile now but even with the great additions there is one thing that is still missing: native iCal support. Now that Apple opened up the iCal ApI, I am hoping that WebIs can use the a pi’s to read and write to the native database to provide a seamless experience. I sync my device with both Exchange and Mobile Me neither of which is supported currently by PI. Hopefully the calendar API’s will allow PI to access that information.
