Gloria Murman would like to have NotePad and Clock included in all Palm handheld versions. She would also like to have the Date Book be able to schedule meetings across days (i.e., 11 pm on May 4 through 7 am on May 5) and would like to be able to have a year view. Anil Bhalla would also like a year view and thinks the Palm OS would be a lot more useful for business if it had an inbuilt financial calculator.

Edison Johnson, meanwhile, would love for the Date Book scheduling system to include a means to schedule a meeting that correlates to another meeting based on the day of the month. For example, "one day after the first Tuesday of the month" or "one week before the last Friday of the month." Says Edison, "Many meetings I need to schedule are based on these types of relationships to other meetings and using the 'first Wednesday' does not always correctly follow the 'first Tuesday' of the month, depending on which occurs first. It seems this could be simply done through adding a fixed + or - numbers of days offset to the day of the month scheduling feature."

Mike Quitter would like to see a way of marking Date Book events "business" or "personal." When he's at work, he'd like to have the choice of viewing or printing just his business events and vice versa.

Stephen Vance and George G. Garrett believe that there's no reason for limiting the various applications to 15 categories. George also thinks the events in the Date Book should be able to have categories assigned to them which will synchronize with those in Palm Desktop.

Jo Craig would like to see a link from Date Book to Documents To Go (at http://www.dataviz.com). He often receives emails regarding an agenda, minutes, papers, etc. for an upcoming meeting. He enters a reminder of the meeting in Date Book and also writes that the agenda, minutes, or any papers are to be read in Documents To Go. He'd like to see a link directly from Date Book to Documents To Go, so that by tapping on a simple icon, it would take him to those documents.

Meanwhile, Bill Chaney would like a cross-reference between the To Do List and the Date Book so that when an item is created in the To Do List, it can show up (with or without an alarm) in the Date Book on the due date.

General thoughts
Roy Karny would simply like to see the battery meter in the pop-up clock so he doesn't need to go back to the Launcher screen to see how much power is left. Deborah Miller has a similar aversion to returning to the Launcher screen and would like a "Back" button to take her back to the previous application she was using. Alan Swafford suggests limited multitasking so you can have two applications open at once and switch between the two.

Alejandro Vargas, Pat Nathan, Marshall Tuck, and Tom Gillespie would like to see a digital recorder built into the Palm handheld. John Dunigan takes it a step further, saying, "How about Voice Recognition!?"

Martin Kaiser would like to see more use of color, such as highlighting text with, for example, red. He isn't against multimedia possibilities either and wonders weather faster devices with better audio might finally be able to serve as car GPS navigation.
