Review: Developer One Power Tasks
Posted: onlydarksets @ Mon Feb 14, 2005 7:19 pm
I am a task junkie. I live and die by my task list in Outlook. I will create a new task for something I have just done and immediately check it off. It is an indespensible part of my day. That may make me sad, but, thanks to Developer One, I am not ignored.
INSTALLATION
Installation was a breeze. Power Tasks comes with a Windows installer or can be downloaded as a CAB file directly to your Smartphone.
SETUP
I eschewed directions in favor of poking around the menu system (more later on whether or not this was wise). The first thing I did was to get rid of the background image. While I am all for skinning, it was just too much clutter for me. The second thing I did was to turn on grouping by category. Finally, I enabled the "Exit" menu option (I hate to have stuff running in the background). Other than that, I left things pretty much as they were out of the box.
USING POWER TASKS
While I started by diving in instead of reading the manual, I can't say that using Power Tasks is intuitive. Unfortunately, many of the features require a lot of getting used to. For example, the volume keys are remapped to provide extra features. The volume buttons change the filter (i.e., which tasks are displayed). The left directional pad changes the priority on the currently selected task. The right directional pad takes you to the notes. The #1 button takes you to the add task quick entry line. The #2 button takes you to the first task. While these shortcuts are very useful once you get used to them, they are confusing when you are starting out.
The grouping feature, however, more than makes up for any of these shortcomings. Power Tasks lets you group tasks into a tree structure, organized by one of a number of fields. This provides an excellent way of organizing your tasks, and I use it in both Outlook and in Power Tasks.
FEATURES
Power Tasks is loaded with features that make using your Smartphone more efficient. First and foremost, is that it allows you to modify existing. The built-in task application does not. Second, it allows you to edit pretty much every field that exists in Outlook. The built-in application only allows you to edit the name of the task and whether or not it is complete.
Inserting a contact name and phone number or email is as easy as selecting the contact from a list and then selecting the number or address. Once a phone number is in the Task subject, you can dial it directly by hitting the Send button. The same applies for an email address in the Task subject. The following types of information can link to external programs:
If you want to enter a quick reminder to call or email someone, you can do so using the quick-entry bar. Hit "1" or scroll to the top where it says "Enter new task here". The context menu will change and give you many of the options contained in the new task screen. This is very handy for adding a quick reminder, but extensive text entry, as with all Smartphone applications, can be cumbersome. Nonetheless, this feature is huge. I used to never enter data into my phone because of the limits of text input. However, being able to enter callback reminders with no "typing" makes it feasible.
Power Tasks also addresses some issues with how ActiveSync handles tasks. When ActiveSync syncs a new task from Outlook to the phone, if the reminder is set on the same day as the due date, the alarm time information from Outlook is not sent to the device. This allows you to have those alarms automatically changed to a more suitable time once they have been synced to your device.
DOCUMENTATION
Unfortunately, the documentation for Power Tasks is over a year old and has only been updated to version 1.6 (current Power Tasks version is 1.97). Nonetheless, what documentation exists is very good.
WHAT IS MISSING
Power Tasks would be a perfect mirror of the functionality in Outlook if it allowed you to create and save "Views". Each View would have its own filter, grouping, and sort settings. The folks over at Developer One have already done the hard part - creating the functionality to do each of these things. The rest would be a welcome, and not too difficult, addition.
SUMMARY
After a week of using Power Tasks, I am amazed that I was able to survive without it. Granted, not everyone uses Outlook Tasks as much as I do. However, for those who do rely on grouping their tasks by category, there is no other solution available.

Motorola MPx220 Hands-on Review
Posted: Tong Zhang @ Sat Feb 05, 2005 1:43 pm
The MPx220 is Motorola's second generation Windows Mobile Smartphone and it offers many improvements over their first generation MPx200 which was released in January 2004. In a short revision period, Motorola has managed to give us the latest OS, a faster processor, larger battery and added a 1.2 megapixel camera with flash and Bluetooth— excellent! In fact, the MPx220 has every feature you could want: quad band GSM service, decent battery life, a very nice color screen, fast performance, stereo MP3 playback, video playback, Bluetooth and the camera. The only feature it lacks is EDGE for data, which no MS Smartphone yet offers.
The SMT5600 is finished in charcoal gray and silver. The front and sides are made of metal while the back is plastic. The phone looks and feels very well made with a solid build quality and professional appearance. The phone has a minimalistic design with a gentle taper toward the rear and bottom which make it feel great in the hand. Like all MS Smartphones, it has two action buttons just below the display that aid in navigation and a large rocker with the Home and Back (delete when entering text) buttons. The large call send and end buttons flank the interestingly designed 5-way directional pad which is rather long and narrow. The d-pad works very well for moving up and down, and OK for left and right. It isn't terribly easy to press it down for the action/select function since the d-pad (more like a rocker) tends to move up or down too easily, changing your selection. The d-pad has a long travel when pressing down, which doesn't make matters easier. It is by no means a horrible design, but it can't compare to the large and easy to operate Motorola MPx220 d-pad and it isn't the greatest for games. The lightly domed number keys are very easy to operate and are responsive enough for super-fast dialers. The keys have blue backlighting that's activated when a button is pressed. The unit has a light sensor just below the keypad that tells the phone when backlight is needed. If you prefer, you can disable the sensor so the backlighting always comes on, but the sensor works so well, you'll likely wish to leave it on automatic.
This has been a great year in the US for MS Smartphones with several models released including the Voq, Motorola MPx220, Samsung i600 and the Audiovox SMT5600. Windows Mobile Smartphones are similar in size to a standard feature phone, but add impressive sync, web and email capabilities. But how easy is it to compose emails using a numeric keypad? Not easy, and that's why Sierra Wireless introduced the Voq, currently the only MS Smartphone to sport an integrated thumb keyboard.
Though larger than other Windows Mobile Smartphones, the Voq is still significantly smaller than Pocket PC phones and features a phone-centric design that beats holding a Pocket PC phone to your head. The Voq comes in two flavors: the A11 for the North American market which we received for review, and the A10 triband world phone. The A11 supports the GSM 850/1800/1900MHz bands (850 and 1900 are used in the US, 1800MHz is used primarily in Asia and somewhat in Europe) and the A10 supports the 900/1800/1900MHz bands (900MHz is pervasive in Europe). Other than band support, the two models are identical. The Voq is sold unlocked by various electronics, handheld and computer vendors and isn't offered by US carriers. That means you can buy the phone for use with any GSM carrier and will not have to start a new contract to obtain the phone. Sierra Wireless tells us that Voq is pronounced "voke", reminiscent of the word invoke.
Looking for a mobile phone with serious PDA features, but don't want to hold a Pocket PC Phone Edition to your ear? For phone-centric users who need a phone first and a PDA second, Microsoft Smartphones make a great deal of sense. They're no larger than the average cell phone, feature one-handed operation, have standard phone creature comforts yet can sync easily with your desktop and offer slimmed-down versions of standard Pocket PC built-in applications. MS Smartphones do not have touch screens, nor can they run Pocket PC software. Instead you'll use buttons on the keypad to navigate the phone's apps and controls, and you'll need to get MS Smartphone versions of 3rd party apps if you wish to add software to the phone. Both Pocket PCs and MS Smartphones are part of the Windows Mobile OS family, and you will likely feel at home with an MS Smartphone if you're comfy with Pocket PCs.
