PIToday Application Review

[Guest JamieDow]

PIToday by DeJe

Available for Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC

PIToday is a highly customizable today screen expansion for your Pocket PC. Manage appointments and tasks and improve productivity directly from your Today screen.

To follow up on the launch review made previously, developer DeJe brings a fresh approach to displaying your appointments, contacts and tasks in this application.

PIToday boasts a variety of features from a Timebar for a graphical overview of the day to Direct access to WebIS Mail from your Mobile Today screen.

Whilst this application lends itself to a more traditional size screen, even on the M500 I have found this to be fairly easy on the eye. The icons size can be easily changed and the varying display height means you still have plenty of room for your other items.

As shown below, you have quite an extensive menu allowing you to change a large amount of settings. I have found the ability to change the colours by hex code invaluable in order to get it to match my theme. With the ability to change the type, amount and detail of the items in your calendar or tasks list, the customisation is well worth a look.

Despite being very unsure of this application after the initial install I found myself using it far more than I expected. PIToday gives you the ability to minimise the upcoming events and settles with a row of unobtrusive icons. You can hide and show all days events or just individual one's.

I would have to say the only other serious point for consideration, is that it can be process hungry but after a little more memory allocation to applications it runs well.

Priced at €11.95 PIToday is available at PocketLand.

It's a handy application with loads of settings you can play with.

Here's my screen atm, it's nice and quiet as I'm off shift :)

I need to sort out the text colour next.
