FranklinCovey's PlanPlus for Windows XP 5.0 was created with the company's development partner Agilix Labs. The application is a full featured planning system designed to bring the experience of using the FranklinCovey Planning System to desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs and now the Ultra Mobile PC. The application allows the user to utilize FranklinCovey's planning methodology in one complete system. The software incorporates a calendar, contacts, and task management with enhanced features for daily and weekly planning, note-taking and organization within the layout and familiarity of a paper planning system. A recently released free update of PlanPlus for Windows XP 5.0 has been designed to run on the new Ultra Mobile PC. To leverage the new computing platform, PlanPlus for Windows's user interface was redesigned to function well within the Ultra Mobile PC's screen size. It supports new touch screen capabilities and leverages the built-in digital ink functionality. Upon release, support for the Ultra Mobile PC will be available as a free update to FranklinCovey's current software product: PlanPlus for Windows XP 5.0.
