"Spb Diary is a feature-rich Today plug-in for your Calendar, Tasks and Contacts. This software is a powerful replacement for the standard Today plug-ins for appointments and tasks known to have poor functionality. When using Spb Diary the most of actions related to appointments, tasks and contacts can be performed even without leaving the Today screen at all."
Spb Software House have just released Spb Diary - an all-in-one calendar, tasks and contacts plugin for the Pocket PC Today screen. With it, you can view up to 31 days of appoinments/events with your own customised interface. It is deeply integrated with well-known PIMs such as Pocket Informant and Agenda Fusion, and it supports VGA and landscape display modes. Handango have a trial version of Spb Diary on offer, and if you like it, it can be purchased for $14.95. [Affiliate]

While there is some debate about this product in our forums already, I have to say that I just installed it on my 6315 and its running really nicely. A good addition to my Today screen!

I agree. It does run well, and despite the debate on it being a rip of PocketBreeze, I think those interested in finding an answer to that question ought to install it and play with it for several days, not several hours. Having said that, Diary is similar to PocketBreeze, but it is by no means a complete repackage of PocketBreeze. It's definitely not a "CherryOS / PearPC" sort of issue, and the way I see it, this is just another product in the market, and just another form of competition. May the best product win. 8)

To be a true clone they would have to have killer support. And no one, I say no one, can match the support available for PocketBreeze.

I love this program, but it likes to stay "on top" of Pocket Plus. I like Pocket Plus on the top, but Diary won't allow this. I won't buy SPB Diary until this is fixed. I'm just obsessive compulsive like that.

Okay, I got the order problem fixed, but it's very picky. Anyway, I still love this program! Hopefully they'll include a note tab in the next version.

Nice to see that there is competition, SPB makes great apps but... I will still use PocketBreeze though because of the excellent support.
