PI CorrectTime from the Makers of Pocket Informant


This is the first Pocket PC Addict post where the reader might have to do a little math to figure out what we are talking about. PI CorrectTime is a new utility from the makers of Pocket Informant. What it does is compensates for the world traveler by adjusting his or her appointments starting and ending times to reflect the user's "home time".
To make this more clear, they give this example: Let's 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... it's that easy.

Just got a note that they've lowered the price on this app to $14.95
"we’ve lowered the price PI CorrectTime to a more appropriate price of $14.95 for this utility. PI CorrectTime has also been updated to version 2.02 with improvements in the user interface and some bug fixes.
PI CorrectTime is a PIM utility that does three basic things.
Find/Replace for data throughout your PIM
Batch Delete of data throughout your PIM
Adjust appointments after a change in the timezone. "
