Well I have the new tablet up and running and it's great. I was using a pda but I want to ditch that because I only need on leash not two :)

At this very moment the only reason I am using the PDA still, is because I fell in love with the integrated calendar program. My tablet came with one that is more powerful in some ways, but less powerful in other ways. Overall the calendar program found in miscrosoft pocket pc 2003, is exactly what I need. I really really like the way the calendar program beeps to remind me something is coming up. I couldn't tell you how many times that saved my butt. I can settle for more, but not less.

I went to download.com and could spend about a year installing and trying different programs.

Do you guys have any suggestions for day planner/scheduling software?

I wish I could port over that calendar program to my tablet. That would be great! Anyone know if that's possible?

The planner I was speaking of that came with my tablet is the FranklinCovey software. I don't like how it doesnt remind you of upcoming appointments. It's kinda neat how you can use your own hand writing but that's no big whooptedoo for me. I need one that beeps.

Then again if the computer is off it's not going to beep. Argh I can't win! I'm going to have to write an app that will page me a few minutes before a lead, then make it web based so I can add appointments from anywhere. Hmmm... Better yet any more suggestions?

Paul, before I download and install it, does it beep to remind you of appointments? Thanks for the info!

BJD, how does outlook express integrate with the calendar? I've been using it since 1997 and have never seen any calendar. Do you mean Outlook, and not Outlook Express? I do use the Outlook Express address bood for all my frequent contacts but not my customers. I keep my customers in spreadsheets. There's just TOO many of them.
