I think the third point is what it could do. Reminds me of the Windows XP "sidebar" on the file manager windows that shows relevant stuff for whatever folder you are in and changes accordingly. If you have digital photos on the folder, it shows "Order prints.." and "Slideshow" and "Publish photos on the web" etc.. and for other kinds of folder content it shows different things. So for non-"today" it would just show a weather forecast if one exists, and if it didnt, just leave it out. etc.. I mean, if there are useful things to show there, we can add them, but it does not *have* to contain a gazillion things. It was just to replace the summary component that is kind of out of place since you cannot really do anything in the summary itself - the useful summary content could be moved to the day view just fine, that was the idea. > If the headlines section lets you subscribe to arbitrary rss/rdf feeds, > it should probably just say "Headlines" rather than "News Headlines". Or we can just drop the RSS stuff altogether - I think most people just rather use a web browser to browse news sites anyway..? It could have other useful things though, so we can give it some additional thought. The things I put there were just quick ideas, we can think of others too. > Showing a full 24 hours seems like a waste of space that could be better > devoted to showing more detail in the active part of the day. Yea, that was just a mockup restriction, dont worry about that. It was just cut/paste pixels from my current evo version. It definitely can be done in a more more smart way.
