Notes for Reviewing Time Place

These notes are intended for those who are reviewing Time Place. The following list highlights what we consider to be the most important features of Time Place:
  • Time Place is the only product of its type that offers four readable analog clocks. Most other solutions are digital clocks. Time Place offers the digital display of time as a secondary list display.
  • Time Place's display has been designed so that you can read the current time at a glance and with minimal mental effort.
  • No other product allows you to quickly reference the time of a zone that is not displayed as one of the four clocks. With Time Place, you can enter the letters of a place and its corresponding list entry will be displayed along with its time.
  • Some other products provide a volitile means of managing time zone information e.g. they might use the Palm MemoPad. The problem with this approach is that some textual representation of data is required. Textual representations can easily be fouled by mistyping characters. While there can be no guaranteed method of entering and maintaining time zone data, Time Place minimises the chances of incorrect data entry. This is done by allowing you to base places on other places - time zone information is then inherited into your place. If the information changes in the places that you based your place on, this information will automatically be reflected in yours.
  • We provide a mechanism for our customers to receive updates to the Time Place database. This allows our customers to freely modify their database and be able to incorporate any new and modified time places that we provide. We have not observed any other supplier catering for their customer's data integrity needs so highly.
  • Moving into and out of daylight savings time is a friendly experience. Time Place informs you of the change at 12pm on the previous day - not at 2am or 3am when the event actually occurs!
  • Time Place integrates with Time Traveler, our complete time zone management solution for the Palm Computing Platform(R). This integration allows Time Place to intelligently display your current time zone based on traveling with itineraries.
  • Many other products are provided with manuals. While we provide an online manual, our goal is to see our customers use Time Traveler effectively without having to consult one.
  • We are the only product that integrates with CityTime, the award winning world clock software that is bundled with Handspring's Visor organizer.
  • We have made every effort to ensure that the above statements are true. Please be aware that products do change and that this data may become out of date. Other suppliers may also read this page, realise their failings and then change their product! If you have a particular question concerning review points then please contact us.
