Calendar application
 

Hi,

I need a calendar application in my N800 device. Where I can get it and how i can install it in the device. I have already downloaded the "gpe-calendar.install" file. If i transfer it to the device then will it work or install the application in the device? Any body please!!!

Try double clicking the install file from the file manager, or use the "install from file" option in the application manager menu.

You may also want to try the Dates application from the Pimlico project. I haven't tried it personally, but it looks very promising.

I can't seem to get Dates to install on my OS2008, as I believe its an OS2007 app and maybe it's not yet been redone.. I've shot off an email to OpenHand(Pimlico)so hopefully we can get an answer or an updated version.

Isn't it odd that the tablet is missing many basic applications, such as a Calendar ?
(like for instance any media/music app that automatically does cover art, a media player that shows Visualiztions etc., any sort of keyboard control, like repeat rates etc., and so on)

But really why isn't there at least a viewable Calendar either as an application, or better yet one that would be integrated to the desktop via an applet ? (integrated into the OS made by Nokia)

Re: Calendar application
 

I always figured that as a device that's supposed to be web centric, Nokia assumed that your calendar was online and viewable on a browser page. I'd like a calendar app too, for times when there's no WiFi around.

I use GPE http://fl0rian.wordpress.com/2007/01...n800-maemo-30/

and Erminig to sync with google calenders.

Searching the forums will also turn up a lot of useful info on these apps.

Re: Calendar application
 

I've had GPE but find it abit too much for what I really needed, I just want a simple 30 day calender type of thing.

No real need for appt's, contacts etc., as GPE and a few others do that fairly well, as a PIM (though a real integrated PIM would be great for many ppl, not including myself of course, lol)

It'd be great if somehow they could incorporate it in the clock applet, whereas you could even have a choice of time with calendar showing, time without etc.

GPE Calendar is part of the GPE suite

When I try to use the Pimlico repository for n800 2007 the log tells me the install tree is not in the format it is expecting. HAs anyone got the pimlico repository to work?

Re: Calendar application
 

Working Pimlico packages for 2008 should be out soon. Currently they are not compatible with the OS (or the other way round, however you want to look at it), see http://www.burtonini.com/blog/comput...owcomments=yes

New guy here, but I used to use a program called agendus for palm. It can be found at agendus.com. This is the program that I would love to see for the Nokia. It was the best PIM program I ave ever seen. Just a thought.
