If accepted, a confirmation will be sent to the meeting organizer and the date will be automatically scheduled in both calendars.<\/p>\n<p>It has all the standard features of the Windows Mobile Appointment setup screen, such as enabling the user to define appointments not only by specifying date, start time and duration of each event, but also by setting a number of additional options, select the category which the appointment refers to, sets its lasting as \u201call day event\u201d, manage its recurrence (none, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) and activate a reminder alarm from 5 minutes to 1 hour before the event.<\/p>\n<p>GekoNewCal&#160; is available in Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Greek, Czech, Danish, Polish, Ukrainian, Romanian, Chinese (traditional and simplified) and Japanese. If necessary, the user can insert any other language simply by creating and adding a resource file with own translation.<\/p>\n<p>The software is even skin-able, with a gallery of skins soon to be available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gekonewmobile.com\" >www.gekonewmobile.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>GekoNewCal supports QVGA, VGA and WVGA screens. The developer aims to follow up with GekoTask, an application aimed at the management of tasks lists, fully integrated with GekoNewCal and working with the same logic and the same visual.<\/p>\n<p>GekoNewCal costs 3.99 Euro and is available for purchase at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gekonewmobile.com\" >www.gekonewmobile.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwmpoweruser.com%2F%3Fp%3D10500&amp;linkname=GekoNewCal%20%26ndash%3B%20new%20finger-friendly%20appointment%20software%20now%20available\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wmpoweruser.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\/Bookmark\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Users with HTC\u2019s latest TouchFlo3D will likely not see much point in this software, but if you are using a device with the less sophisticated TouchFlo2D you may very often find yourself dropping into the less than finger-friendly standard Windows Mobile menus to do such things as setting up new appointments.
