Hello
As Personal Information Manager (PIM), I am happy with Android's native Calendar and People applications combined with MyPhoneExplorer's Tasks and Notes, and syncing all four with Outlook.
However, a friend who works as a primary school director doesn't like the way the native Calendar application looks, so moved to ColorNote because multi-day events can be displayed in different colors, but ColorNote 1) doesn't seem to support creating a multi-day event in one go (eg. just enter FROM and TO dates), and 2) only supports Calendar + Notes, but doesn't provide support for Tasks and possibly People/Contacts.
Besides, she never synced her phone with Windows, which means that losing her phone would have her lose all information.
So I was wondering if someone could recommend a PIM/organizer that would support the following features:
Searching the archives returned hits such as Pimlical, SpringPad, MS OneNote, and Evernote. Are there other applications you would recommend?
Thank you.

So I was wondering if someone could recommend a PIM/organizer that would support the following features:
- Can sync with Windows, either with their own apps or Outlook; Data should not sit in the cloud, as she prefers her backup data to sit on her computer
- Calendar should make it very easy to enter multi-day events and show them in different colors to make them stand out
- In addition to schedule, should support tasks, notes, and contacts
- Application should be free or affordable (ie. should not requiring buying the whole Microsoft Office suite just for this)
