You are in need to organize Your contacts, notes, to-do lists and appointments. If You keep your data in more than one Microsoft Outlook folder -- perhaps separate personal and business calendars or separate address books for each project. Your problem is that PDAs typically cannot synchronize multiple calendars, contact lists or other Outlook folders. It only synchronizes one of each.

Chapura solves the problem with its PocketMirror Professional software. PocketMirror extends the synchronization capabilities to multiple Outlook folders so you can carry all your data with you -- even if it's in multiple places.

PocketMirror works with either Windows Mobile or Palm OS, so you can use it with almost any device on the market, including Hewlett Packard's iPAQ or Palm's Treo, Zire or Tungsten models. It also works on a stand-alone PDA or on a combination PDA/cell phone, or Smartphone, allowing you to dial from the multiple address books.


When you synchronize your lists, they actually get synchronized to a single folder (calendar, contacts, etc.) on your PDA. But they also have additional information embedded within the record, allowing you to view the data as if it were still separate.

This gives you the benefit of multiple listings without the risk of using a nonstandard personal information manager on your PDA. PocketMirror simply uses software tricks to piggyback on the existing technology. It takes a couple minutes to install and set up your new synchronization settings, and then you're ready to go. The biggest drawback to PocketMirror is that it takes longer to synchronize than it does without it. I suspect the additional time is caused by the additional data that it has to compare and synchronize.
