Abstract:
1. A method of management of time zone information in a calendar application running on a handheld computer, comprising: storing an event, said event comprising a start time and an end time based on a first time zone; establishing a display time zone wherein said display time zone is user customizable and independent of events associated with said calendar application; translating the start time and the end time from said first time zone to the display time zone to produce a translated start time and end time; and displaying the event as occurring at the translated start time and end time, wherein: the display time zone is established by receiving a message from a source external to said handheld computer indicating that a time zone change has occurred and an input from a user confirming said change in time zone, said message displayed to said user only when a second time zone received from said external source is different from said first time zone.
