8/28/2008 The Today screen provides a central place for users to easily view summary and high-priority information on Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Windows Mobile 6 Classic. Developers can create custom Today screen items to present key information from their applications. For example, a sales force automation application could present key data about the customers the salesperson is planning to call on that day. The device also automatically times out and returns to the Today screen after a user-configurable period of disuse; the default is four hours.
