I've had my 770 for two weeks now, and whilst it's certainly going well on the web browsing/streaming fronts, and while the 770 isn't supposed to be a PDA I think that 770 PIM is a lot better than the alternative of carrying my PDA around everywhere as well.
I've tried GPE and Winzig, and neither really do what I want, so, in the natural programmer vein, I feel like starting a new Maemo-specific one. However, I want to ask everyone what they think about the current apps before going and starting yet another PIM suite.
After starting development on the MPD client I have found that writing Python apps for the 770 is laughingly easy, and while they do need the extra package to be installed they seem to run at very acceptable speeds.
Basically, what I want to know is:
1) Do you use PIM? At all?
2) If so, which ones do you use? GPE, Winzig, another device even?
3) What features would you like most?
Obviously things like alarms aren't possible yet, although I'm hoping that the work going on with that area will pull through. But what about things like summary screens/today screens, integration between notes and calendars, and so on?
