I'm bringing my tilt to school and it of course has Windows Mobile on it. Are there any programs that can:
1. remind me to do things
2. show things like tonight's homework, etc, on the today screen
3. allow me to put test dates in (lol i know i can use calendar for this)
but the first two, ?
also, can I use manilla2d with any apps like this?
pocket informant and/or spb diary
The normal agenda included on wm6.1 is enough for that tasks, no need to install any other software

Hi all,
I've searched with the above terms and am either missing something, or it hasn't been asked before!
When you set an appointment or add a contact you can assign it a catagory. EG business, vacation, personal etc.
How do you delete those catagories? I have several I don't use anymore and want rid. I can see how to add more, but not delete existing ones.
I'm running WM6 hence putting it in this sub-forum, mods please feel free to move it to the general section if more suitable!
Cheers
Steve
I use Pocket Informant 2007 for category management, and it does the trick quite neatly. I believe you can also do it from within MS Outlook (not POutlook, but the desktop version!)... but cannot vouch for it, I just use it for synchronizing.
Thanks for that. You can delete the catagories for Desktop Outlook, but it doesn't sync the ones on the device so they are still there...
I'll have to check out Pocket Informant!
I am looking for a notes program that lets me add both text and small sketches/drawings or even photo's to my notes... (sometimes a picture says more then 100 words)
And the program should come with a nice system to archive my notes or even add them to my outlook agenda.
You don't say what platform/device, but you might want to look at PhatNotes for Outlook from http://www.phatware.com
What about OneNote Mobile - part of MS Office Mobile 6.1 - that allows you to type or handwrite items, plus you can insert pictures or take a picture to insert into the note; the PC version will synchronise with the mobile version and you can then add notes as Outlook tasks.
Just a couple of thoughts from me...there's bound to be others
Mark.
One Note is a good solution but I also use Evernote, it's a free note app that works with a free desktop client and also a web interface (all free). This program lets you take typed notes, written notes, picture notes, pictures in notes, and audio notes. It then uploads the information to a web version and syncs with a desktop client provided by them. I use evernote only because I use an HTC Diamond and an iPhone 3G (depending on the day is the phone I use) and Outlook does not sync notes to iPhone so I use evernote to sync my notes everywhere. I would however prefer to use One Note just because it does not need to sync to an online portal.
OneNote Mobile is included with the version of MS office which comes with oneNote for pc
I can suggest Mobile Sketcher if you need to add notes to pictures
great answers, i'll start reading up on these..
I am currently using an old Imate JAMin, but i am soon upgrading to a Touch HD, and with the big screen it seems perfect to make little technical sketches along with my notes. So actually i am looking for an application to use on the HD...
I will certainly have use for mobile sketcher too, its not exactly what i was thinking about but its awesome to add handwritten text and little sketches to pictures i take from technicall stuff.
Thanks all...
With phatnote not being able to save notes on the flash ram, i guess it will be onenote (which i allready own on my PC, but never used as it came with the office suite, and i tend to never make notes behind my PC, but allways en route in the field)
I tested Onenote on my JAMin and it doesn;t fit the bill...
I can not make any sketches/drawings inside my notes....(i can only add pictures and soundrecordings)... thats the most essentiall thing it need to do...
I've searched here and there, far and wide until the search button wore off my screen.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro running WM6.1 and Touchflo 3D.
I'm looking for an application that will scan my contacts for birthday's and anniversaries and export them to my calendar on the correct date for the current and/or upcoming year(s).
I've found several apps that are standalone or Today plug-ins, but I don't want the additional overhead of running unnecessary applications taking up memory.
Anyone know or have such an app?
I am wondering if you have explored the contacts page on your WM 6.1 .
If you would, you should see that you are able to set birthday's and anniversaries. So WM 6.1 will update the calender.exe to show that it's a recurring event.
And if you synch with the desktop, it should show on your outlook too.
At least, this is happening for me.
Thanks for your input. I'm aware that if I sync my phone through activesync with Outlook that it will put my birthdays and anniversaries in the calendar in Outlook and on my phone, but I don't own a copy of Outlook and have no desire. I rarely connect my phone to any PC except for the occasional file transfer or software install.
thnks
ill be using that

UPPPPP Badly
I've been looking for the same thing too
SPB Diary is no longer being developed and Pocketbreeze crashes after about 5 minutes of using it. I tried alarmtoday but and its close but doesnt have all the features of a real Calendar today screen plugin.
So basically I need something that can show all my appointments and tasks for the day on a screen when I turn it on and there is currently no real solution that I know of.
So what are some of you guys using? Anyone know of any calendar plugin that works with wm6.5?
Calendar Touch should work as integrates via PIM so will show in normal Calendar interface also has a nice usable gui.
Today's Aganda this is free and works GREAT. very configurable also in appearance.
need to google search
TodayAgenda_PPC as linking fails for me.
pulls in bdays from contacts also, freeing them from your "calendar".
I use Pocket Informant to book appointments.
on my HTC Touch Pro 2.
It annoys me how slow it is.
All I want to do is
(1) look at some sort of agenda of my booked appointments and (this could be optional)
(2) quickly add an appointment.
Scenario:
I decide to meet someone at 8:30am tomorrow.
I just want to book it quick and type in a brief description.
DONE.
I think Windows Mobile is outdated.
Any suggestions ?
Moved as not software release.
Don't u use HTCActionScreen? I use it to input appointment, task & contact by Pocket Informant 9 easily. I don't think WM6.5.5 on my HTC Touch Pro 2 is outdated. A lot of things could be done by WM6.5.5 and couldn't be done by iphone, blackberry & symbian (yet). WM6.5.5 is the most customisable mobile device at this present time
