I'm hoping someone can assist me - I'm looking for a task scheduler for the Ameo that allows me to configure the PDA settings. For example, of an evening, I setup the Ameo to charge on my bedside table, with the SPBClock running in fullscreen screensaver mode, so I can look across in the middle of the night and see what time it is. However, each night, I have to change the settings to drop the screen brightness down to minimum so that the glare doesn't fill the room too much. And each morning, I have to turn the brightness up again so that I'm able to use the device in the day.

I'd like to be able to schedule this automatically. Also, I'd like to be able to configure the volume control to set itself to a standard setting each evening (quiet, but not too quiet) then change the volume again in the morning.

Id also like to schedule programs to start up/close down at scheduled times, but I think most task schedulers do this anyway. :D

Recommendations please?

Phone alarm sounds like the most likely candidate..

http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htmlI use PhoneAlarm and it will do this. Only issue is WiFi control is a little flakey, but I think that's a WM5 issue in general. PhoneAlarm also has other nice features. I'm a fan. It does have a nice skin that works well with TrueVGA.

Looks like it could do the job - I've installed it, so I'll see how I get on with it and do a review. Nice and cheap as well for purchasing the full version. Cheers All!
