Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Developer One, developers of the critically acclaimed 'Power Tasks' (which is one of my must-haves!), have today officially launched their new application, 'Power Calendar'. Priced at a very reasonable $19.95 (with 10% discount for MoDaCo Plus members), this application finally takes the Smartphone platform into the realms of REAL PDA functionality. Full details can be found here, and the official sales pitch and screenshots follow :) P Power Calendar gives you the time management tool you need to better view and work with your busy schedule on your Smartphone. Single and multiple day views, quick date navigation, full customization and many more great features help to make Power Calendar work as you need it so that you can rely on your Windows Mobile Smartphone as your one and only mobile solution. Designed to be the perfect companion to our Power Tasks application for Smartphone, you're now able to work with your schedule with the power and convenience you need. Just one of the many reasons that Power Calendar makes your Smartphone more valuable: One of the key barriers to productivity on the Smartphone is efficient data entry. Take the common case of going to a doctor's appointment. While you're there, you schedule your next visit. You try to enter all the data into your Smartphone, then soon realize it's too cumbersome and you then ask for them to give you the little reminder card so you can enter it into your schedule from your desktop PC. So you put the reminder card in your wallet, lose it, use it to write someone elses contact information on, etc. Most likely case: you'll never get around to entering it in your schedule. This is just one of the problems we set out to address. We wanted to give you a solution that would not only make working with your schedule more efficient, we wanted you to be able to rely on using your Smartphone to quickly enter new schedule items when you're on the go. With the "My Text" pre-fill features and powerful capabilities to insert contact names and numbers into your appointments and tasks, Power Calendar makes it effortless to create new entries in your schedule. Adding a contact's telephone number into the subject or location of an appointment even makes that entry 'live' in your calendar view. By simply pressing Send/Call on that item in your schedule, you can make a follow-up call on that appointment or task!

Make it large to help you see the display better (or maybe it's time you check your eyeglass prescription) or use the extra small font to display as much information as possible in your calendar view. * Assign commands to the keypad to let you more efficiently perform common tasks or access option screens.
