FRANKNS  I may be missing something obvious, but date entry feels clumsy to me.

Sure, natural language input is great, but I found myself correcting almost each entry I made in the first day or two of use, and the process was actually SLOWER than iCal's standard entry method.

For example: Enter "Today 10 p" and you get a mixed response: Today's date, 10:00 am. Cool, except it's *am.*

On Friday, enter "Saturday 2 p" and you get the second day of the month (e.g. Monday, Feb 2 for me now) and 12:00 pm. Ugh

JUSTIN WILLIAMS  Hi, I invite you to try Today 1.7. We decided to remove natural date entry and return to a traditional iCal-style date picker because it was far too confusing for too many people.

MACBLISS  Watching this one develop. Sounds like some nice updatess. But, unfortunately not open for testing to unregistered users. May want to consider enabling new demo for each semi-major update. If you can't try -- it's hard to buy. Just some food for thought.

RPPHOTO  I like this calendar viewer, and use it on a regular basis now. Two things I would really like are the ability to rearrange items, and an easier/faster way to toggle between calendars so the view isn't so crowded if you, like me, have lots of calendars.

PEEDEEBEE  There was a Yahoo Widget that did the same thing, but it doesn't work with Leopard. It would show items for today AND tomorrow, which was great. The Today developer says they're working on this feature, which MIGHT make it worth the $.

JERRODHO  Nice start... but before I buy this as an upgrade to Anxiety (which I donated to, but which after a nice launch has been at a complete standstill), there are a few things I'd like to see.

A few fairly minor suggestions:

1- Better contrast on displayed text for calendar and to-do items. I like how Today dynamically tries to find appealing text colors for each item background color, but I find its decisions to be too low-contrast for an application designed for quick glances. As it is, it's very zen, but my eyes hurt trying to read it.

2- Ability to control which calendars are shown (give me a list of my calendars -- local and subscribed -- in Today's preferences and let me check/uncheck them individually).

3- Ability to see tasks due "X days in the future" (and highlight them further as a due date approaches).

4- Ability to sort tasks by priority, due date, or some combination thereof.

5- A redesigned calendar/task entry panel that facilitates very fast entry. For example, keyboard navigation doesn't work now, as you can't tab to the Calendar pull-down menu, and picking start/stop datetimes isn't as quick as it could be with big popup calendars.

For now, I've been leaving iCal open on a second monitor (or on another Space), but with these improvements, Today could be a more powerful, concise way to keep an eye on things.

WZRDJR  I've only spend a few hours with this so far, but I really like it. I wish you could turn off certain calendars though.
