WHAT’S HOT

   Not only does PI Correct Time adjust your appointments
for various time zones, it includes some neat utilities to sweeten the
pot. It has a global replace and delete tool that works on Contacts,
Appointments and Tasks. It also performs a backup on the PIM data, just
in case. Some Ipaq users will remember that feature. It was removed
from my 3955 with a ROM update.

SETUP

   Setup was effortless, requiring no special input,
beyond tapping launch and re-initializing appointment times.

PROGRAM FEATURES

    PI Correct Time really doesn’t have any
features per say, the devil is in the details so to speak. Webis has
to be commended for taking on a task of this complexity! I can only
imagine the effort required to manipulate the appointment times in Pocket
Outlook.

Tap launch and that it!	This cleans everything up for a fresh start.

    PI
Correct Time does a wonderful job at hiding its complexity. Correct
Time doesn’t give you too many options to get into trouble. That is
a good thing too, anytime a program is playing with the PIM database,
the less options the better! PI Correct Time makes multiple copies of
the PIM database, just in case. If you look at the screenshot below,
you can see it’s always possible to get back to square one.

First select the time zone.	Don’t worry about your data PI Correct Time has it covered.

    Once PI Correct Time is installed, that’s basically it as far as interaction
with the program. You simply make your appointments as you normally
would. When you travel to say, Saskatchewan, you simply select your
region, open up PI Correct Time and tap ‘Update Appointments’. All of
your appointments are adjusted to the correct time, hence the name,
PI Correct Time.

Global Find/Replace.	Global Delete.

   
Leave it up to the wizards at WebIS to throw in one of those utilities
that make you wonder, "why didn’t I think of that!" Sure you
can do without a global delete/replace tool, but it’s nice to have.
The documentation gives the following example: "if you have
an area code change for everyone in your area due to an area code split
or your company changed names – you can now make those changes easily
and quickly."

HELP
SUPPORT

    If you’ve purchased anything from WebIS,
then you know they are a top-flight developer and have excellent support.
PI Correct Time has a nice manual and WebIS offers support forums, as
well as telephone and email support.

SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS

    PI Correct Time is 95k installed and is
compatible with Windows Mobile 2002/2003.

BUGS
AND WISHES

    My data is still intact, no bugs noted.
My only real wish is to have the appointment times change automatically.
For instance, when I change the time on the Pocket PC, have PI Correct
Time automatically make the changes. Instead of having to manually tap
‘Update Appointments’.

PURCHASING

    PI Correct Time is available exclusively
at WebIS’ online store here.
The price is $24.95, a little steep if you don’t travel often.

OVERALL
IMPRESSION

   My overall impression of PI Correct Time was positive.
Although I don’t travel often enough to find it very useful, the Pocket
Outlook tools could be of use to some. On the positive side, PI Correct
Time is small, unobtrusive and pulls off its primary function very well.
WebIS should be commended for engineering innovative solutions such
as PI Correct Time for the Pocket PC.
