Comments on the Today View

[kathyrbl]

I know you probably have a whole slew of things to add to this but here are my initial comments as a person who used Agendus for Palm religiously until forced to switch to the blackberry. I see that I will be a heavy user of the today view as what I liked about Agendus is being able to see everything on one screen (tasks, calendar), integrating appts with contact information, and color coding/using icons to manage different projects/categories of items.
Despite the fact that many of the most important things are not yet available, I like the look of the today screen although I do not like the navigation. I agree with other users about shortcut keys. I will probably get carpal tunnel syndrome clicking this many times. Also I find my self continually minimizing views (calendar/todo etc) in the Today view as my brain wants a "create new" menu to pop up when I am on the separator bar (date/Task/Recent Messages) instead of mimimizing that section. It is not intuitive to have to select an entry in order to create a new item. I hope this makes sense.

Hi,
What you've mentioned does make sense and we have many navigational improvements planned.

Keep up the good work. I'm glad to see iambic jumping into Blackberry with Agendus.

I've been using Agendus since series 5 for Palm (a LONG time). I resisted switching to a Blackberry because I'd have to give up Agendus.

The goal is to make the Blackberry version as nice as the Palm v12 Agendus.

You have a ways to go to get there, but I'm confident you guys can do it.

v12 for Palm is huge improvement over the v5 that I started with.

Thanks for the confidence. We will definitely get there.
