WebIS has released an update for Pocket Informant for Android (http://market.android.com/details?id=net.webis.pocketinformant) which adds support for tablets running Google Android 3.1 Honeycomb. Unlike the default Google Calendar app that comes with Android, Pocket Informant bundles a To Do list with your calendar, allowing you to sync your appointments with Google Calendar and your tasks with ToodleDo (http://www.toodledo.com/).

Pocket Informant also allows allows you to see your month-at-a-glance calendar in a split-screen view, with appointment details in the bottom and a full month calendar filling out the top of the screen.

Honestly, on a phone, Pocket Informant does a much better job of organizing my information than Google Calendar. But the tablet interface looks like a blown up version of the smartphone version while the tablet version of Google Calendar has actually been redesigned to show you more information at a glance on the larger display.

While I’m a big fan of Pocket Informant on my phone, I’m not sure I’d spend the $9.99 on the app for a tablet. Fortunately if you pay once you can install Pocket Informant on multiple devices, so if you have a phone and a tablet and you’re already a Pocket Informant user, there’s no reason not try the latest version on your Motorola XOOM or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
