In search of ... desktop/mobile calendar/task list/appointments app

Not overly fond of Java ... too many disappointments, too many hacks ... but I'll give Pimlical a try - the published feature set fits mostly with what I'd like to have. Need to check for licensing issues, though, or it could get expensive :P.

I always though it meant you charged for it. Actually getting paid, in my experience, is a whole separate issue. :P

Another option might be EssentialPIM.
The Windows Pro edition is licensed per computer, but there is a free version that is probably good enough to see if you like the way it works. The Pro edition also provides a fully functional portable version. There are free apps for both Android and iOS.
On Android devices, EPIM uses its own tasks, notes and password modules and the built-in (Google) calendar and contacts, but you can synchronize those directly if you prefer not to use Google.

Just an FYI. When I evaluated Essential PIM a few months ago I had it lose information that had been previously entered and saved to the calendar. Don't know if this was an anomaly or something specific to the machine I was running it on. But it spooked me enough that I removed it from further consideration after that happened. Which was a shame. It looked to be a very capable PIM. YMMV.

Nope, misconception on your part :P :-* :P: you're still an amateur when you bill/charge - you're only a professional iff you get paid :P :P :P

That's a right cogent thought. I have EPIM Pro Win & Android. I might have had the answer on my own HDD and not known it. Never played with the calendar aspect of EPIM, so looks as though I'm gonna be busy :-\ :P
