diaty software for PPC?

Id like something that syncs with outlook/ journal and doesnt look totally gay like most diaries for PPC do. and a nice today plugin for it would be nice too. ANyone use any good ones?

So many posts on this subject...
Pocket Diary - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
PocketBreeze - http://www.sbsh.net
KitaraGenesis - http://www.quenchsoftware.com/index.php
to name but a few. I've had all three and paid for two of them. Wasn't impressed with SPB's effort so left it at a trial.
KitaraGenesis is a nice little today plugin and v customisable, however PocketBreeze is by far the better alternative I think. Well worth the money.

I mean a real diary app, not something to keep track off what to do.....but to write what I did and what bugged me on a certain day

Oops, sorry...

Don't know about any of them as I don't use my phone for journal making. Sure there's some good stuff there, though.

thats not what I meant, if you would have read the thread, you wouldve known this

Calander and Tasks combined

Simple request
Does anybody know of a simple utility that can incorporate Tasks into Pocket Outlook. Tasks then will be intergrated into the calander and will use the appointment screen to set a task. Also this utility should manage to display a full weeks appointments and task in sequence - not seperated.
Thanks in anticipation

There's a free today screen plugin that shows combined tasks and appointments...

I've given up on it for now but it seemed to work ok. Not as advanced as other plugins like PocketBreeze but much lower overhead associated with using it.
Have reverted back to standard plugins even though they are pretty pathetic since the plugin didn't seem to cope with orientation switching too well - an annoyance when using it with a device with a slide out landscape keyboard.

PocketBreeze for Me!!
I can't comment on TodayAgenda, as I've never tried it. I found it on these forums after purchasing PocketBreeze. But, from everything I've read about it on that thread, it's a very good program.
However, I WILL say that I LOVE PocketBreeze, and it would be virtually impossible (IMO) to find anything that even comes close. It does exactly what the OP wanted, plus more. It's the only plugin I use on my Today Screen, and it allows for Custom tabs to be set for other plugins, as well. So, I have iLauncher, Pocket Weather and Spb Time integrated into PB as custom tabs and from that can access virtually everything on my Wizard from the Today Screen through Pocket Breeze.
There's a 14 day free trial period, but I was sold on it after only 3 days and bought it. Others may have different views, but for me -- it's the BEST!!

I've use both todayAgenda and pocketbreeze. For the price of todayAgenda, there isnt really much to 'complain' about, other than the fact that, it doesn't display tomorrow as 'Tomorrow', which is quite annoying (that it lowered the importances of the task/schedule).
Anyway, I'm using pBreeze now and no complain so far. It is highly customizable which others may find annoying, but if you want to have full control on your display, go for it. I so wish I get commission for selling this software

Check new todayAgenda 0.95 beta and check spbDiary with better phone contacts handling (hardware keyboard) than pocketBreeze.

Thanks everybody.
TodayAgenda works well for me. Exactly what I wanted.

What is the difference btw SPB Pocket Plus 3.2 and SPB Mobile Shell 1.0?

What is the difference between SPB pocket plus 3.2 and SPB mobile shell 1.0? Does anyone recommend one over the other? Or both can be used together?
Please advise, thanks!

Hi both can be used together they dont really compete with each other more like complement
this thread has more
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3941
anyway ive got both and Diary and they work very very well

half off topic here but, i bought their pack of spb weather, diary, time, and pocket plus a while ago, i only use weather (no other uk freeware) and time (best software for my uses) nowadays. all spb products are very big and use ram, claunch and wm5newmenu and today agenda are much better and freeware,
back to topic, mobile shell, well i installed it, played with all the options, and eventually, i gave up trying to work out its purpose. all i could see that it does is give you a big clock image, notifications, battery and signal meters when you wake up the device (which you have to exit to do anything) it's sort of like a today screen before the real today screen, but with less info. other than that it give you the option to use your ppc with normal mobile phone style menus

I ditched shell in favour of pocket plus. The shell was too much of a memory hog. Install them (pocket plus first) and use the buzz dev Task Manager to see what I mean.
I like pocket plus with the BBC feed used in spb weather with the diary plug-in. I used to use cLaunch but prefer the flexibility of spb.
They can both be used in harmony and shell also allows you to integrate non spb today plug-ins into pocket plus (well, some). SPB shell is similar to, but not as sophisticated as, Wisbar Advance Desktop, and spb pocket plus is a launcher foremost - but you may also add to it spb weather/diary/sms/ etc. . .
I tested shell for a while but opted not to use it, but by all means give it a shot, loads of people seem to really like it.
After all, it is only my opinion.

Which software for finance management???

Hi!
I'm searching for a software for personal finance management.
I've found several, but this 3 seem to be the most well ranked:
- Spb Finance
- Cash Organizer
- Mastersoft Money
Have you ever used any of this, are they user friendly, practical?
What is your experience with these software?
Which one do you recommend?
I don't want anything complicated.
I just want to control my day by day spending.
Where do I spend most, where can I save, etc...
Can you help me make up my mind...
Thanks!

I've used CashOrganizer for more than 3 years now. I has a great planning / schedule feature that automatically loads repetitive expenses or deposits into the corresponding account as required, a project category system and great report (and fast) generation. I don't sync the data with a computer, but it says it can do it. I have about 10 accounts with at least a year's worth of transactions and it runs very well. I would improve the gui a bit because it is sometimes hard to read. They also have good / fast service via email. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answer.
Have you ever tried any of the other apps?
Or have you always used cashorganizer?

No. I 've only used Cash Organizer. I haven't tried the others.

I haven't ever tried those 3, but I have Quicken on my notebook, so I use PocketQuicken, works very well!

No problems with Spb Finance here.....

I've been a user of both spb Finance and CashOrganiser.
I use CashOrganiser 8 which I sync with Microsoft Money 2005 on a vista PC with no problems. It's quick, reliable and the reports are useful.
I went over to CO because I had numerous sync problems with spb Finance. This was a couple of versions ago and they have had a major update recently for Vista compatability.
Best bet is to get each of them on a free trail and try for yourself.

Hi!
I've been testing the apps for the past days and I've decided to go with Cash Organizer.
It really seems to be the most complete, friendly and atractive one.
Thanks for helping!

I use SPB for the past two years. I really like it but I do not sync with any desktop applications.

Cash Organizer even for multiple PDAs
I've tried them all, since they did away with MS Pocket Money.
I have had syncing problem with SPB.
I have used the Cash Organizer for several years now and though not perfect, I like it the best.
The bad: Very little Customer support, if it's questions or problems they don't want to deal with.
Upgrading: had great personal support from the developer!
The good: Easy to use.
Will sync 2 or more PDAs, so we run the same software and just sync up in the evening through MS Money. Great way to keep our finances straight!

Have tried the demo of
- Spb Finance
- Cash Organizer
and I preffer Cash Organizer
I will but it once they bring the feature to add notes from the express screen

best iphone clone apps

Probably been posted before but I find its nice to get a fresh new post every now and then.
Well I'm impatiently waiting for my new HTC Kaiser as I'm upgrading from an HTC Magician so I'm looking at sprucing it up as soon as I get it. I know how programs get outdated and replaced so often in the WM world and I havn't updated my Magician in a long time. All I had was spb diary & weather, AE Button, cl launch, pocket agenda on my Magician and it did the trick but nowadays it seems so rudementry especially compared to my girlfriends new iphone lol...
I'm not looking to make an exact clone of the iphone, but to steal some of its more useful features such as kinetic scrolling and finger swipes and gestures to make my phone more appealing and finger friendly for day to day use. So far I've found a few very nice efficient and free programs such as icontact and slide2unlock, and some others you have to pay for like SPB Mobile Shell 3 and Vito Winterface, as well as Opera and Skyfire browsers.
Are there any other good programs along these lines? What would you guys suggest? Such as media players and such, as well as game emulators (Big reason why I bought the Kaiser, hope it doesn't let me down!). I can't wait for my Kaiser to finally come in so I can mod the crap out of it. I'd like to remove most traces of the ugly default windows mobile look without bogging my Kaiser down too much.
Thanks!

I cant imagine why an HTC/WM owner should want his/her device look like iphoney...
But in case you want to, have a look on developing & hacking section there are plenty of them

No not to just look like one, mainly to add its finger friendly interface, the iphones gesture based system is the way mobile touchscreen phones should be as far as I'm concerned, very intuitive, but without the iphones limitations, as for looks I would make it look quite different than an iphone as most WM programs are re-skinnable and very modable.
The problem is knowing WM I'll need a nice set of programs to have a fully touch friendly phone, as in phone/texting, contacts, pim, launchers, media, browsers, today plugins, office. So I'm just looking for the best ones atm, I love icontact for one and spb mobile shell 3 looks like it covers most of the others.

Ok
Now I understand
Have a look on the section I told you and if you need any special app I can help you to find it
I´m agree with you
WM for itself is not very good, but with several apps you can have a great device!
