--pkGswdkpaJ7szwcxI3zPGVEGS1MkUeHpjKgbfAz Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dwight, I've found reasonable replacements for the apps I enjoyed so much on my Cli= e. One of them is even better, thanks to features provided by the Android O= S underneath. I'm using an HTC One X+ from AT&T, which was $99 with a contract extension = last December. Probably cheaper now. I got aCalendar from the app store for $3.99. It works well, I like the way= swiping eases moving through the days/weeks/months. It's updated regularly= , looks good on the screen and is pretty intuitive to use. Tasks & notes are by-products of the sync program Local Sync. (I will not g= ive my info to the cloud, so I had to find a solution besides Google accoun= t sync.) Local sync allows me to sync tasks, notes, calendar to Outlook, wh= ich makes me very happy. It syncs designated files as well.The developer is= very active. I'm going with the native contacts app for now, though it has a couple roug= h edges that may have me looking for a replacement at some point. ToMarketPro provides a replacement for HandyShopper. It operates similarly,= manages my shopping lists and checklists (like vacation packing) with aplo= mb and is enhanced by the ability to use voice to make up my weekly list by= saying "Need eggs, milk, cheddar cheese" and the ability to scan UPC codes= to add them to the database. The developer listens to enhancement requests= , too. I use the file backup capability of Local Sync to keep copies of the= database on my PC. I had to do some tweaking to get battery life to where I thought was reason= able. But I got it to the point where moderate use -- couple hours of scree= n time a day, a few short calls, daily sync allows me to go 2+ days between= charges. You might want to take a look.
