o FranklinCovey TabletPlanner v.1.0

Submitted: Bernie 6 Dec.

TabletPlanner is  the first "real" application written for the Tablet PC that I have come across.  This app will let you put down the keyboard and use your stylus!

First Impressions: A great, easy to use organizer that will let you put your keyboard away.  It even makes a few enhancements to text entry by presenting options right on the text entry window (see highlight).

One of the features that I liked best is the ability to "bind" your documents in one location.  For example, you can create a Tab for a specific project.  In this tab you can create all your own notes (Franklin-Covey's version of the Journal app).  Not only that, but thanks to a printer driver, you can integrate read only (annotatable) versions of any document within that tab!  So, for example, for a particular project you could have your all your notes, documents that you can write on, as well as web pages in one location.  From my perspective, this brings back some features that over the years I've learned to do without in Outlook  that were found in Lotus Organizer.
I wouldn't use this feature personally to centralize all my documents, but I'll use it for some (for example, I'll probably create a tab where I'll "print out" and save all my internet purchases.  I'll also create a Tab per client for my project notes.  This will replace the Journal App.  Needless to say, this app support's Covey's methodology and comes with templates (vision, mission ...) to let you integrate those into you PIM- so if you've always used the paper based planners this is the tool for you!
On the points for improvement side, There is no real contact facility within Tablet Planner.  In fact, I think the product is positioned for the corporate market.  You can't sync with outlook, but can synch with Exchange 2000.  You can however print out a copy of your contacts and include them in.

All this innovation unfortunately comes at a high price, but there are specials for Tablet PC buyers.

Verdict
: The only killer app I've reviewed for the tablet.  A glimpse of things to come!  Outlook sync and better contact handling need to be added.
