First, thanks to Rob for all his hard work porting these apps. Knowing that there was a working PIM that did 90% of what I wanted (I had to learn a few new ways of doing some things) and no critical short comings was what finally convinced me to buy a n810 (thanks, of course, to Gene Cash for writing these apps in the first place). I know that this is an IT and not meant to be a PDA, but it just wasn't worth the money if I had to carry around my palm to cover my pim needs (I only have so many pockets, and the n810 would be left at home and used only for playing after hours). Nokia should make sure you & Gene get deep developer discounts on future devices, because you are adding a critical feature that helps sell these things!

I'm hesitant to add any request that might add to Rob's workload, and certainly this is low priority compared to some of the outstanding bugs and RFEs, but I was hoping you could make it a bit easier to know when there was an upgrade to one of the apps. I can check your site, and you put the date you posted an app, but it would be helpful to add the date of the ported version to the "About" message so I could easily determine if what you had posted on your site was an update of the version I had installed. Another alternative would be add an RSS feed to your site where you announced updates. Again, these are very low priority, but modestly helpful given that these aren't distributed via a repository.

Thanks again!
