Pocket WakeUp v1.1 (Freeware)
Requirements: PocketPC 2003(SE), WM5, WM6
Overview: You may have noticed that, by default, the alarm and notification systems are far from optimal... not to say hazardous! Pocket WakeUp only replaces the alarm system, not notifications. But it does it in such a manner as to totally supersede the standard alarm.
An alarm is defined with a day of the week (there's no calendar to let you set an alarm in 2 months time, for example) and a time: basically it's a morning wake up call. Just like the standard alarm. But that's the only thing in common.
Pocket WakeUp can handle up to 10 different alarms, nameable, each with different rules.
The choice of days is done via tick boxes. For the time (in 24h format), you only have to click on the numbers (tens and units are seperate) to increment them by 1. I promise, that is the only negative point that I found, if you miss your number, you have to go around again. This entry mode is common across all screens.
The alarm can be automatically repeated if no action is performed when the alarm sounds (by default it doesn't repeat). The waiting time is configurable from 5 to 90 minutes (in 5 minute intervals). It is even possible to set a time period where the repeat alarm is allowable so that a forgotten alarm (is that even possible with the program?) doesn't spoil a good night's sleep.
The audio file can be placed anywhere on your Pocket PC, thanks to an in-house file explorer. This explorer lets you hear the file in advance and see the duration. It supports 3 file formats: the classic WAV file, and the famous mp3 and Ogg Vorbis. It's a shame it doesn't support WMA.
The minimum duration of the alarm can be set. In the case that the selected file isn't long enough (such as when you are using a standard WAV file) it will repeat for as long as is necessary.
The volume can be raised automatically (and will be returned to its initial state after the alarm is finished). Very handy if you have turned the sound off so as to not be disturbed by other notifications. The Pocket PC can also be set to turn off after the alarm is finished.
Once the alarm has sounded, you can also, manually, make it repeat or stop it, as well as turn off the Pocket PC.
Another little thing: each button and control has a pop-up box that explains its use. It is possible to stop subsequent appearances of the pop-ups by ticking a box.
The numerous options requires playing around with, as with all programs of this type, in order to get the expected effect.
In particular, installation on a storage card. On the test machine, a Loox 720, it took too long to recognise the SD card, so long that the program could not be found. This meant that the program caused an error and it didn't sound the alarm!
Installation of the LooxStore (ROM) is possible. By contrast, the audio file can be stored anywhere, even on the storage card.
Note: For Pocket PCs fitted with the system, in particular the Pocket PC Phone Edition, the alarm can be accompanied by the vibrator.
