Keeping track of appointments, ToDos, incoming mails, short messages, (missed) calls and voicemails can be tricky. No one likes to open several applications (datebook, todos, sms, your email client) to make sure not to miss anything…
To make these tasks a lot easier, there’s 2Day from ShSh Software:
2Day shows a detailed (and easily configurable) list of your appointments and todos. But that’s not all: it constantly monitors several applications like Versamail or the SMS-App and reminds you of unread mails and short messages in a status bar on top of the screen.
When using 2Day on a Treo, you will get even more status icons:
The entire application is optimised for one-hand-navigation making it a perfect fit for the Treo. Everything can be accessed with the D-Pad or with the number-keys:
Configuration is easy and lets you change the look and feel the way you like it:
There is no written manual but there’s an excellent online-help with a “help”-button on every page.
What I really like is the seamless integration of DateBK, the ability to use custom backgrounds (on the Treo you can use every camera image as a background image) and the different options to launch 2Day (at power-on, after a certain time, mapped to the datebook-button - your preferred datebook application will start with a 2nd press of the button!).
Another thing worth mentioning is the ability to enhance 2Day even more with the use of dedicated plugins. There are several free plugins available at the author’s homepage (there’s even a plugin for Quicknews). You can even have 4Cast (weather forecasts for the Palm OS, also available at the author’s homepage) act as a plugin for 2Day.
Overall, for 10,80 Euros you get an application that really makes it easy to keep track of everything - especially on very busy days. If you’re using a Treo, this is the best you can get.
[...] Here are some screenshots of preferences pages. Interesting, for example, are automatic updates, storage management, and the number of programs it works together with (on their homepage they write about Blazer, NetFront, Vagabond, Novarra, and Xiino, but I can confirm that it works together with PalmSource’s Web Browser 2.0, too, and also it supports many mail clients including SnapperMail and VersaMail, and the MP3 players above). There is also a plugin for 2day. [...]
