Because this is a Public Beta, you can snag it for $9.95 (the cost will increase to $19.95 once it is out of Beta, so if you plan to go for it, now is the time).

BUT, before you spend any money on Agendus, just keep in mind that Pocket Informant BlackBerry will release “in August 2008″ for $19.95. BerryReview.com has some screenshots on their site of Pocket Informant if you’d like to take a look.

Personally, I’m torn between the two. I currently use PocketDay, paired with PocketDay Lists, and I’m ready to move on to something… well, better.

Any suggestions?

Viigo is an enhanced RSS reader, allowing you to choose from a selection of over 3,000 feeds (they call them “channels”), as well as any custom feeds, allowing you to follow the updates of any site you wish. There is a major overhaul to Viigo in the works under the name Project Tango, which includes the same RSS feed reader, plus the addition of Weather, Sports, and Entertainment. Audio & Podcasts will join the Beta line up in the future, but the current strength of this application is in the feeds. As you read you can email the article to yourself or others, click to view the web site, or even save it for continued reference (it will be replaced by newer feeds if you do not save it).

My personal favorite feeds to read on the go are: BerryReview.com, BlackBerry Cool, Cool Tools, MakeUseOf, and Mashable. I probably subscribe to at least 50 feeds, but I’d never admit to it!

To get a copy of Viigo, just go to http://getviigo.com/ or http://getviigo.com/beta from your mobile browser.

Viigo is my #1 most used application on my BlackBerry Curve. What is your favorite BlackBerry application?
