SBSH Mobile Software released the Windows Mobile Standard version of their Papyrus PIM software today. SBSH makes quality software for both Windows Mobile Professional and Standard devices. I have had the pleasure of using Papyrus 2.0 for the past few weeks and I think the Windows Mobile community will welcome it with open arms. Papyrus 2.0 has a simple and clean UI, but also has advanced features like recurring tasks and categories that can be customized with colors and icons. Other new features include:

All new Search View – Introducing extremely effective search functionality for your PIM items! Use the new Search View from any chosen view to easily browse through your different items!
Innovative & powerful new tools – Automatically email change notifications and appointment invitations to appointment attendees; New Pop-out Effect on all different views for better data display for today’s events, Active timeline display, New professionally designed built-in category icon store with PNG format support and much more!
Redesigned interface – Featuring the next generation of user-interface with automatic adoption to your Windows Mobile look and feel and easy to navigate dialogs! Additionally, Papyrus 2 includes especially designed features to take advantage of any screen orientation Smartphone!

The “Pop-out Effect” is really a joy to use. It makes it very easy to see what day or event you have selected and even allows you to see more text, which is always a big plus on the small screens of a smartphone. For more details of the new features, visit this post on the SBSH forums.
