Default I need a PA...

but in the real world...
Not being the most organised person the world, I cause myself problems trying to balance diaries for work, the business, my wife's business, and, where possible, family / social bit's and bobs.

Is there a bit of kit (presumably a phone, but open to ideas), which is cheap as chips, easy to edit scheduler, and can be synched with for example Outlook? I'm thinking Blackberry, but not sure what else there is.

What about using Google's Calendar app. Being web based, any computer/phone that has a browser would be able to access it. You can create multiple calendars, and from what I've seen it will allow sync to Outlook and Blackberry.

Google Calender. I use it. It syncs outlook, which syncs my pda. It syncs with my macbook.

Probably cheaper to rent a girl from Eastern Europe to do the job. An if she's a looker, you get far more benefits than some daft PDA.
