Handheld Devices and the New Daylight Savings Time

Monday, February 19th, 2007 at 11:33 AM | Category: Meryl's Notes Blog, Tech 2 comments

Users of most PalmOS devices have a simple fix for daylight savings time without downloading a thing. The instructions come from the Is Palm Help Forums:

1. Tap Prefs from the Home/Applications screen.

2. Tap Date & Time.

3. Tap Location.

4. Tap Edit List from the down down list.

5. Tap to select your location in the list.

6. Tap Edit to get to the Edit Location screen.

7. Set Start: Second Sunday of March

8. Set End: First Sunday of November

9. Tap OK, Done, Done.

Those on Windows Mobile devices will need to download three files as explained here. You may not need the first file if you already updated your computer.

Boy, I wonder how it’s costing companies to change daylight savings time. Paul had to work last night to install a patch on his company’s servers.

Also, important note for Treo owners: Symantec Vulernability Researched has reported a security advisory on a vulnerability that lets hackers bypass the password lock to access secured contents. Details and a link to a third party fix is available under the Solution tab at http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/22468). Palm has opted not to report the vulnerability and has no plans to issue a patch.
