That figures, just the opposite of what I'm seeing.........

I see no difference whatever is speed between the two systems by the way, merdin's setup has absolutely instant response & so does PointUI so I find they are pretty much equal in that regard.

only thing i can't find a good pointui replacement for is weather radar. right now i'm messing with spb ms3 and weatherpanel. any ideas to get a radar image in pointui? is there an applet that will download an animated gif? wouldn't bother me if it was separate from the 5 day weather.

does merdin's have keyboard lag? I want 6.5 but I have fallen in love with the zippy keyboard in the dcd 6.1 beta.

I'm getting no KB lag whatever in merdin's 6.5 ROM.

I use weather panel in a 2nd today screen that opens from a PointUI shortcut. I also use the weather channel app.

Well, I've just taken the plunge so I hope I'm not going to be let down. I tried the free version when it first came out and was largely unimpressed, particularly with performance. Let's hope that time has improved this.

One question though, is it possible to have things like calendar etc call Pocket Informant rather than the built-in apps?

I've asked this same ? over at poitui.com and have no responses yet. It'd be awesome not to have to run weatherpanel anymore since that is all I use it for is the radar updates. Until then it's PointUI and secondtoday!
