    Add Year 2006-2015 holidays to your Palm PDA
    View U.S., Canadian, Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Islamic holidays as well as Moon phases in a list. Or easily add them into your Calendar/DateBook. Descriptions too. Includes new Daylight Saving Time dates that started in 2007!

    HoliDates is a holiday application that not only adds holidays to your Palm Treo, Centro or PDA, but allows you to see upcoming, past and distant future holidays all in one place. Even if you already have some holidays within your Calendar, this feature is worth the price alone. No more having to go through your Calendar one day at a time to see what's coming up next month.

    You'll want to add the holidays into Calendar as well. Choose the categories of holidays to add to Calendar. Click Install. They're added. Change your mind, click Remove and out of Calendar they come.

    Most of us live and work in culturally diverse environments. HoliDates makes it easy to become aware of important holidays for friends, co-workers and clients. They'll be excited when you share in their holidays. And they'll be appreciative when you schedule around them.

    HoliDates features allow you to:
  • View 2006-2015 holidays and moon phases as a yearly list within HoliDates
  • View one or more categories of holidays at a time
  • Easily add/remove holidays into/from your Calendar
  • Within Calendar, holidays can be added as either untimed or timed events (perfect for desktop calendars that can't work with untimed events).
  • Add holidays into your calendar application's category of your choice (if category support is available).
  • Most of the religious holidays include descriptions
  • Add your own notes to each holiday within HoliDates
  • Holiday Info screen shows you the date and day for the holiday, how much time is left until it occurs and your notes
  • Links from HoliDates to Calendar for holidays that were added.
  • Use the Palm Global Find tool to rapidly find holidays anytime.

    HoliDates includes holidays and events in the following categories:
  • US Holidays and Events
  • Canadian Holidays and Events
  • Christian Holidays
  • Jewish Holidays
  • Hindu Holidays
  • Islamic Holidays
  • Moon phases

    HoliDates is easy to install too. Download, unzip and install the files. Perform a HotSync operation. That's it.

    All this for only $9.95.
    (A portion of our revenues are donated to children's charities)

    Note: The free trial download is fully functional but is limited to showing only the dates for 2006. Soon after your purchase, you will receive a registration code via e-mail. Enter this code in the "unlock key" field within HoliDates to remove this limitation.

    Updated Description:


    10/27/07 v3.00 includes holidays and Moon phases through 2015
    04/29/07 v2.81 Supports Global Find and even better Treo support.
    11/19/06 v2.8 Updates the new Daylight Saving Time dates starting in 2007
    11/11/04 v2.71 Support for the T5
    11/2/04 V2.7 includes holidays through 2010.

    Install Preferences support the ability to add holidays into Date Book / Calendar as either untimed or timed events into the selected category (if category support is available within the calendar application).

    I like HoliDates alot, because I would like to see e.g when Ash Wednesday, Easter. Memorial Day, or Thanksgiving would fall fall on in the future e.g. in the year 2010, or even the year 2020.

    thank you.

    A really great software, everyone's datebook should have holidays in them - and this is the software that delivers them!

    Only thing missing is choosing languages, it could be really nice to have the holidays in a different language. Even if that means that the user edits the names of the holidays himself once - and they change for all the next years. Especially the Muslim and Hebrew holidays, or even the Canadian. If Arabic, Hebrew and French were options - that could just really be super!

    FINALLY! An intelligent holiday app that lets you EASILY choose which holidays appear on your Palm. Simply check off your picks from six complete lists broken down by category: U.S./Major Religious; Canadian/Major Religious; Christian; Jewish; Muslim; Hindu. And it's just as easy to add or remove holidays in the future.

    This is classic Palm software at its very best: an easy-to-use and inexpensive app that really simplifies the scheduling of your life.

    Forget the freeware apps that clutter your Datebook with every "holiday" imaginable... HoliDates is the best ten bucks I've spent in a while.

    Works great, easy to use and gives some information about each holiday.

    Works as advertised. I was hesitant to pay money for an application that "only" gave me holidays. But the organization of the app is nice, and I really like the fact that _removing_ holidays is just as easy as adding them. Interface and installation are excellent. Also, it should be noted that the service through PalmGear/PalmSource was very quick. I received my registration in minutes.
