Spb Software House Releases Spb Diary 2.5 - Your Personal

**ksong12** · 04-19-07, 04:31 PM

April 19, 2007 - Spb Software House, the leading Windows Mobile software
developer, releases Spb Diary 2.5, an update to the award winning Pocket
PC PIM Today plug-in. Spb Diary is a feature-rich Today plug-in for your
Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Notes and Messages providing users with the
highest level of functionality and usability.

The new version provides more than 40 improvements requested by users
during the last months. The most noticeable changes are the ability to
put any Today plug-ins in a form of Spb Diary's tabs and the new
horizontal tabs, which made it possible to show all your PIM information
in full screen while keeping the rest Today plug-ins one-click
accessible. Other improvements cover many different usage scenarios
making this upgrade of use to every user of Spb Diary.

* Never Have That System Scrollbar Again!
Users of the previous versions constantly tried to solve the problem of
the best Today screen configuration that would allow as much space for
Spb Diary as possible on one hand and as many other plug-ins as possible
on the other hand. There are a lot of plug-ins not so frequently used,
but useful and worth placing on the Today. With Spb Diary 2.5 you can
now create a number of additional tabs with several Today plug-ins in
each. This virtually extends the critical Today screen space!

* Dial Your Photo Contacts from Applets in Spb Pocket Plus!
The idea of photo contacts introduced in Spb Diary 2.0 became so popular
that it was developed to standalone applets, which can be now separately
embedded into any Spb Pocket Plus tab. Now you can put your favorite
photo contact among your most important shortcuts!

* Enjoy Robustness and Improved Usability!
Spb's #1 priority is to deliver quality and robust software to
end-users. The new version provides Palm Messaging support, improved
one-hand navigation, including the non-SE Pocket PC 2003 devices, etc.

* Get Your Benefit from 40 Other Improvements!
The full list of improvements includes more than 40 items and covers
many different usage scenarios making this upgrade of use to every user
of Spb Diary.

Nice - but still looks like SBSH pocket Breeze (the original design).

The stylus free navigation improvement is great, just what I've been waiting for. It's finally catching up to Breeze, which I can't use due to incompatibility with Hebrew.

But where were versions 2.3 and 2.4? Why does every product have to skip to the x.5 version to market itself?

It looks like PocketBreeze.

This attempt to copy designs reminds me of IE7 trying to be exactly as Firefox (although those 2 can´t even be compared).

But SPB Diary is going in the right direction... :approve:

Finally - horizontal tabs!!

It also borrows from SPB Shell with the ability to create custom tabs from other today plug-ins.

It's a worthy upgrade.

I used to use PocketBreeze, but I love the fact that SPB Diary shows unread text messages and e-mails on the top of the calendar tab. PocketBreeze sorely lacks this functionality, and it's indispensable for me on my converged device (especially since it allows me to get rid of the default messaging plugin).

its more flexible, I liked it even before, so now I like it even more.
You can say, they copied off of pocket breeze, but they are different.

Also, the new update for pocket breeze, causes my axim to freeze, so spb diary is a better choice overall

SPB Diary also allows you to reschedule appointments within days. Pocket Breeze only allows you to reschedule from one day to the next.
