Defining Time

Alex,

Today while using NPad I entered a note that I flagged with a
reminder. I'm not sure how difficult this would be but, instead of
having to enter an exact time like "3:30" what if I could push that
reminder back in chunks of time from the current time like 15 minutes,
30 minutes or 1hour.

Hi Clark

Do you mean giving the time popup an interface similar to that of the
date popup (top trigger in the reminder form)?

Example: tap on Alarm trigger and choose from one of:

now +5 minutes
now +10 minutes
now +15 minutes
now +30 minutes
now +1 hour
now +2 hours
Choose time...
None

Would this be okay?

Alex,

I like Clarks idea, but could you extend it to +1 day, +2 days too ?

There are a lot of different UIs for handling timed events but so many
of them are based on vanilla palmOS and it really was not well thought
out.

Hi Roger

+1 and +2 days would add duplication to the top (choose date) trigger.
I'm not sure about this as it may confuse users.

Yes that's what I was thinking.

Reasonable & logical, hence queued.
