-There are a number of [[personal information manager]]s available. Broadly speaking, they can be classified into categories depending on the platform:
-* [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-based
-* [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]]-based
-* [[Linux]]-based
-* Platform independent or host based ([[PHP]]/[[Perl]]/etc.)
-Some of the software packages can be run without installing them, even from a removable device, such as a [[USB flash drive|pen driver]], allowing the user to carry along his own personal data on any PC.
-Some can import and/or export data to other software.
-==Software classification==
-===Running on Windows===
-* [[Microsoft Outlook]]
-* [[Goldmine]]
-* [[ACT!]]
-* [[Lotus Notes]]
-===Running on Macintosh===
-* [[Microsoft Entourage]]
-* [[OD4Contact]]
-* [[Palm Desktop]]
-===Running on Linux===
-* [[Kontact]] (KDE)
-* [[Novell Evolution]]
-===Platform Independent===
-* [[Mozilla Calendar]]
-* [[Chandler (PIM)]]
-==Import/Export support==
-Nearly all of the applications have the ability to import data from many sources, but they tend to be quite conservative in export facilities.
-==Synchronization==
-The synchronization support to movable and handheld devices, mainly [[palm (PDA)|Palm]] or [[Windows CE]] based, is an important reason to choose a software. The increasing number of [[smartphones]] - [[Symbian]] (e.g. N60 and UIQ), [[Windows Mobile]] and [[Palm OS]] based - as well as the present day "business class" mobile phones - makes the synchronization a major concern for many users.
