Quick reply...
In its shell, Maemo uses Busybox to supply much of these commands. Since busybox is light, and its Maemo-5 version is out-of-date, the "date" command has usage:
date [OPTION] ... [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]] [+FORMAT]
And when you compare it with
date [OPTIONS] [+FMT] [TIME]
you will see that default Maemo version of 'date' doesn't seem to accept 'today' as TIME.
You can use 'date' to get time-and-date. You can use 'date -Idate' to get date only ("-I[SPEC] Output ISO-8601 compliant date string"). But I haven't seen any way to calculate 'today+2days'.
Best wishes. May you find what I could not.

example: today +2 days = 3/30/13
this is the command as used in Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny): "% date --date="today + 2 days"
Sat Mar 30 04:04:40 CDT 2013
when I try the above I get "-date option not reconized"
also is there a special reference for commands that are diffirent from the mainstream debian?, I know how to install the man-deb-n900 but I don't wan't to add dev-extra repo.
