I’d personally like to see multiple categories on all the built-in apps (Contacts, Tasks, Memo’s and Calendar events). Palm OS Cobalt (OS 6) was supposed to have that functionality, but it died when no manufacturers chose to license it. ALP may have it for native applications, but it won’t for Palm OS applications. It would really come down to what software manufacturers license, and how they configure them.

If you want that functionality now, and you sync with Outlook, you can look at Chapura’s KeySuite or DataViz’s Beyond Contacts. They support Outlook’s categories field, where you can have multiple categories per item.

The second you can have depending on your sync software, where you can sync Palm Calendar categories to separate calendars. On the Palm side, I would highly recommend DateBk6 from Pimlico Software, which I’ve been using since DateBk3. It allows you to have saved views where you can include or exclude categories and types of events. It’s a powerful organizational tool.

Hope that helps!

1) The ability to tag ToDo list items and calendar items with more than one category. This would allow sublist items in a project tags to show up in a context list where the task needs to be done. For instance, “buy streamers” is a “+Reunion” project item, but needs to be completed in the “@Errands” context. When I’m getting things done, I refer mainly to my context lists.

2) The ability to have multiple calendars, each acting as an overlay. If arranged like Google Calendar, the Palm calendar would allow me to walk around with my local minor league baseball and soccer schedules without them cluttering up events on the calendar such as important meetings and appointments.
