Backpack is executed brilliantly
“Backpack is executed brilliantly... Backpack is a web-based personal information manager. It loads faster than iCal launches, has more features than Stickies, and a full year’s basic subscription is one-quarter the price of a PDA. It manages to replace all of these while being almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.”
