I don't like the time selection list either. I'd surely use the N9 time dial if possible, but unfortunately it has not been made for applications using QML Components. At least not yet. There's only that somewhat cumbersome time selection list, and AFAIK there's no control to make it in 5 minute intervals. I could of course code my own, but it's something I don't want to use limited time into.

I hope we won't be stuck with that time selector forever.

4. Provide a Wifi in range event. I work at different times during the day and like to have silent when in Office Wifi and normal when I leave or go to lunch.

Good suggestion. Seen that from other people as well. I'll add it into my TODO list.

5. Its impractical to leave the app open all the time. Use the Harmattan "timed" (http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-middleware/timed/) to schedule events or write your own daemon (http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/...g_daemons.html).

Will do. A daemon is the only flexible enough solution since in future the application is not only time based.

6. Have a look at Nokia Situations (http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-situations), plenty more ideas for you.

Good stuff. Seems to have many of the things I want to do.
