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 drive]], allowing the user to carry along his own personal data on any PC. |
|||
Some can import and/or export data to other software. |
|||

==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. |
|||
However eDeskonline alone is particular about its total export feature. |
|||
==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. |
