Years and years ago, I owned a Cassiopiea e-125. One of the first ones out, and I loved it. It was large, and unruly, and you knew if you ever got mugged you could hit your attacker over the head with it.
Then, I got CILE'ed. Sony came out with this wonderfull flips screen device, and I bought one. However my love afair with Palm soon dwindled as all the apps I had for Win CE were just not up to snuff, that and the proprietary memory format when Compact Flash kept dropping and dropping.
Speaking of Dropping, the same thing happend, this weekend with my CLIE.
Fortunately, my Best Buy protection program let me walk right in and turn it in for a new machine.
I picked up the HP2215
Man this baby is fast. Its ULTRAFAST. Where things would lag and I would get hourglasses on my e-125, I have yet to see one here. I have downloaded and run Supernintendo Emulators with full sound and no frame skip, all with perfect fast execution.
However, I missed my Launcher X, sorted through my old old softare and found out that the Dashboard that I had bought for MIPS, was also available for ARMs.
I Installed it!
Im now running the very up to date Dasboard 1.2! I went to the upgrade web page at Snoopsoft, and they had no record of me. Im ok with that, it was years ago, and I make enough money Ill probably just buy it again.
However, Im trying to think if I really need to.
Dashboard does everything I want, Ive skinned it and ICBar together with a beautiful skin by Juni. It tasks, launches, plans, everything I need, just fine.
However, these are things I would LIKE Dashboard to do.
1) Id like to be able to have it go to the Appointment page whenever I power on the machine, or at least whenever I bring up Dashboard, Id like it to go to that page first.
2) I dont use Email on my PPC. Id like to plug someting else into that page. (Notes would be really great).
3) The Skin that Im using for Dashboard causes something funky to happen to my Freespace Dashboard Plugin. The plugin comes up black on dark grey, and is hard to see the slider scrollbars. This is Skin Specific, as when I drop other skins on it, they show up using other system colors. Id love to be able to change these system colors from within the application.
Other than that, I dont know if I really NEED anything else. Can the new dashboard do any of the above?
Thanks!
