Currently, Microsofts Pocket Outlook application for Windows Mobile 2002/2003 treats the starting times of all appointments as being relative to Greenwich Mean Time. So, when you travel with your Pocket PC, and you change time zones, all of your appointments appear to start at the wrong time...
The problem this presents is most clearly illustrated with this example...
Lets say an Outlook user lives in California (Pacific Time Zone) and creates an appointment entry for 8:00 AM while in their home time zone. Then, the user travels to New York (Eastern Time Zone) and updates the clock on Windows Mobile to reflect their visiting city time zone. Pocket Outlook, in turn, reacts by adjusting time of all appointments forward by 3 hours; for example, that 8:00 AM appointment is now suddenly moved to 11:00 AM.
The problem here, of course, is that the 8:00 AM appointment created back in California should have been treated as an appointment that occurred at 8:00 AM local time! Regardless of where the user was, the appointment should have been updated to reflect the new time zone.
The result of this trouble? Our user will definitely miss his appointment -- by 3 hours in fact!
PI CorrectTime for Windows Mobile fixes this problem by undoing the work that Pocket Outlook does. With PI CorrectTime installed, no traveling Windows Mobile user will ever have to be worried about this problem again.
Just change your time zone as you normally would, and then run PI CorrectTime. Moments later, all of your appointments appear at the correct start times... its that easy.
And, just so theres no risk involved, PI CorrectTime makes multiple backups of your Pocket Outlook data.
And to top it off, weve added some handy Pocket Outlook utilities such as the ability to do a global search and replace in your Contacts, Tasks or Appointment data. |
