hey hey,
i found a few, but i wanted to ask you what you think is
the best projektmanagement and timetracking software for
windows mobile. the best would be if it integrates with the
default calender and tasks.
btw. i do not _need_ groupware. most time i work alone...
thx for every hint!!

Pocket Informant 8.5 is amazing, don't know exactly what features you're looking for, but here is the features list:
http://webis.net/products_info.php?p_id=pocketinformant&tab_id=features
looks interesting! but on the first view i do not see any timetracking.
it´s obviously possible to sort tasks in some kind of hirarchy but nothing
to record worktime per project/task.
but i´ll test the demo, thx
anything else?

The best Project Management and Time Tracking software I have found so far is ValleySpeak Project Server which Share Microsoft Project schedules with team. Includes Project Portfolio Management, Issue Tracking, Risk Management, Timesheet Management, Document Management, Calendar Management, Forums, Reports and Project Dashboard.
A good hosted Project Management software that suits my EPM needs is called valleyspeak project server, which I found at http://www.valleyspeak.com. One of the main reasons why I like the software is the fact that I could continue to work in Microsoft Project 2007 while sharing my Microsoft Project plans with my teams.
ValleySpeak Project Server is a hosted project management solution which can be used by Project Managers to publish, control and execute projects in real time, while continuing to make full use of Microsoft Project 2007.
Because it is a hosted service, I did not have to buy expensive software or deal with installation and maintenance headaches. The functionality that I have with valleyspeak to manage my geographically dispersed teams works well for me. We also evaluated Basecamp and some other solutions but were not impressed.
why does this sound like advertising to me?
but anyway: as i sayed: most time i work alone
so i don´t need to share anything. when i work
with someone, that someone is probably a mac-
user anyway. so i guess, a server would be far
to much for me.
something that integrates with outlook or
thunderbird+lightening (tasks ans dates)
would be nice. but not necessary.
i just want to hirarchly organize the things
i have to do and track how much time i need
for what. would be nice if the timetracking
would go easy with start and stop-buttons
(like a stopwatch) and if it could output
detailed reports...

I would like to recommend you for timesolv. It provides secure web-based time, billing and practice management solution for profession services firms. It has lots of facilities rather than other applications.
For more information you can visit: http://www.timesolv.com/
Hope this will work out for you.
All the best!
There are many time management software's available for mobiles mostly iphone...
Sorry to revive this old thread, but there's a lot of alternatives you can choose if you were to search it on the Internet. Here are some of the best time tracking apps for Windows Mobile:
softpedia.com
exaktime.com
systenomics.com
timecardtour.worktrack.com/
Time Tracker Pro
Time tracking is useful for anyone who wants to manage time and work habits especially if you want a social life at the end of the day..
You may also want to check out Time Doctor software (http://www.timedoctor.com). A free employee time tracking software for desktop, and frankly, one of the most advanced time management software I have come across.
thanx
but meanwhile i switched to android and use harvest.com

I would also suggest these 3 project management software with great time tracking feature:
1. Basecamp - works great for project and task management as well as an event calendar for schedules
2. Zoho Project - this one has great functionality in task and time tracking too. UI is also great
3. Central Desktop - good for collaboration within the projects and among the team.
If I were to choose, I'd prefer basecamp. That's because it's simple to use and very user-friendly. Doesn't need lots of time to learn from it. You may also check these basecamp alternatives and see which ones you like. The list and comparison of features will help you choose which one suits your preference.
I tried this time doctor
I actually used the tracking software on my site for wealth generators and it had a small glitch, I'll see if I get this fixed by an expert developer and then I'll keep you updated.
Have a look. if you are interested. you can PM ME and i will tell you where to send your resume to. I know XDA has the dopest mobile developers. Need a job? Contact me, Full time salary!

I have no time to finish it and have no opportunity to add to marketplace (I live in Belarus). So I’ve decided to make it an open source project.
Briefly speaking this project consists of the following parts:
Guitar tab search&download engine: uses web services of ultimate-guitar.com site for direct searching and downloading.
Guitar Pro parser: can open gp3, gp4, gp5 files (Guitar Pro)
Guitar Pro viewer: can show tablature from guitar pro files using custom viewer (features of Silverlight are used)
Text tab viewer: can show tablature in text based formats
The following tools and technologies are used here:
Development approach: Silverlight
MVVM framework: Microsoft Prism
Special controls: LazyListBox, LongListSelector
Currently there are some issues and improvements that should be fixed before it is publish:
Improve guitar tab viewer and parser
Add authenticate engine for guitar-ultimate.com (token is required for downloads)
Fix issues with tombstoning and back button press
Source codes: phoneguitartab.codeplex.com
Screenshots: dropbox.com/gallery/20298658/1/PhoneGuitarTab?h=c75baf
Thanks for the gift !
I'll download it to test, upgrade and maybe publish !
Regards
Sounds great! Hopefully some devs pick it up and run with it.
This is something that I am extremely interested in. I am subscribing to this thread, I look forward to seeing this Project Develop. I use the program Guitar Pro 6 all the time on my PC. I would absolutely love a mobile version on my hTC HD7. Best of Luck... And please do not get discouraged or lose interest. This is definitely something I want to see through till the end.

Nice! I'll check it out when I get home.
Is this only going to be available for people with unlocked phones? Or does the developer plan for the marketplace
Sent by Projekt hTC
I haven't developer account for Marketplace because I live in Belarus and there are some problems with it. Sorry...
I hope this application will be developed as open source project. I will fix some major issues in my spare time: right now I'm investigating how to fix issue with tab downloading from ultimate-guitar.com.
The decision about sharing the source code was made on the spur of the moment and I can provide some comments about my code for developers if it is necessary.

Hey everyone. There are two courses I have to decide between: Python Programming and Internet Programming.
The first course isn't merely an introduction, it's in-depth. The second one is an introduction, but here is the course description:
This course surveys the many technologies that are used to program multitiered, client/server, database-intensive, Web-based applications. Topics include: XHTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, Extensible Markup Language (XML), RSS, Ajax, Rich Internet Applications, Web servers, databases, MySQL, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaServer Faces, and Web Services.

The Python course ends there and doesn't serve as a prerequisite, but Internet Programming opens a door for exclusive courses for Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, etc. It may seem like a no-brainer to enroll in Internet Programming because of that advantage, but it would be much appreciated to hear what you guys think.
