Best Today software

Anyone any thoughts on the best Today software? I'd quite like to have the
whole day's appointments displayed at once and maybe some sort of summary of
the next. Battery information would be good. But most of the ones i've
tried seem to be too cluttered for my taste.

Suggestions?
Thanks
Rachael

Usually the battery and memory displays are part of one package where the
display of your calendar entries are part of a different package. For
instance SPB Pocket Plus (Reviewed here:
http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3089)
would display your battery and memory data quite nicely, but to display
your calandar entries you'd need something more like pocket breeze
(reviewed here: http://www.sbsh.com/)

Hope this helps,
Brad

Rachael,
There are SO many options out there, it will require trial-and-error on your
part to find the perfect mix! (I'm still searching for that Today Screen
Bliss, even after several years!!)

Consider Calendar+ for the Appointment solution. It is free and available at
http://www.freewareppc.com/clock/calendar.shtml

Also, like Brad mentioned, Spb Pocket Plus is very powerful AND highly
configurable. It's one of my fave apps, and I prefer the battery indicator
that appears at the top of the screen:

Hope that helps!

Spb Pocket Plus from www.spbsoftwarehouse.com and QuickAgenda from

device.

I've found the combination of Calendar+ and Pocket Innovations System
Monitor to solve this issue for me! Both are free.

Perhaps if you said what you've tried people would be able to suggest better
alternatives knowing what you don't like?
