Full support for the P800 Contacts Address Book database

Would put up a picture but can't figure this new forum out. Here is a link to Handango's info page for it:

I'm not sure whether it is because it's powered by Appforge Booster, but this app took forever to load for me and just switching between tabs took 5-10 seconds each time. It also uses up over 3meg RAM to run on my phone.

Daybook Plus has some similaritis with a Palm OS application called Agendus (http://www.iambic.com) in which it really enhances the capability of the built in Calendar in P800. There are many things hich IMHO is esential to complement Calender like :-

-Week view
-Detailed week view
-Integration with Contact
-Integration with sms
-...and many more

As a Psion user, IMHO the built in Psion ER5 PIM application called Agenda is very powerful standalone application but the Calendar in P800 is very basic.

I tried Daybook Plus' demo version and was very impressed wih the capability and the idea but was very disappointed like our friend Matai said:

- Very slow to refresh screen
- Took a LOT of memory space (C😊 when it is launched
- Very-very unstable, always crashes when switching views
- ...and many more

I am not against Visual Basic (AppForge Booster) engine coz it is an application engine platform designed to make developers produce applications for P800 and to make P800 more powerful. Because there are many useful spplication which uses AppForge Booster (e.g. Kamasutra 😊, GamePack 1 and 2 etc). It is just DayBook Plus needs to be re-engineered to use less memory and to be more stable, and also faster.

I have uninstalled the demo version because of the problems I mentioned above and some more unleasing experience with it.

Can anybody develop an enhancement to P800's Calendar without using AppForge?

Cheers for that.

I'm not going to pay $25 for a program that uses AppForge Booster.

I can see your point, however I see developers that use AppForge as being too lazy to port their programs properly for P800. Particularly if they then ask $25 to use a program designed for another platform. Maybe I'd feel different if onboard memory wasn't such an issue (or at least external memory so expensive).
