TimeCard is a very simple application that replaces the paper
version of your time card. It even lets you punch in and out
without using your stylus: just use the hardware buttons. The
data stored in your application can then be viewed, edited, deleted,
and exported to a MemoPad record. It also shows you the totals of
the hours you spent working.

IMPORTANT:
When upgrading from TimeCard 2.0 to TimeCard 2.1, a database conversion
is required; no data will be lost in this operation. However, once you've
started using TimeCard 2.1, it will not be possible to use TimeCard 2.0
again unless you erase the database first.

Main features:
- view daily/weekly hour totals
- always displays the last time you punched in or out
- displays current date and time in title bar
- view and edit all the recorded entries
- easily export your recorded entries to a MemoPad record; choose the
  category you want to export to; also exports the totals
- choose the date and time format of the exported data
- optionnaly stores the day of week
- optionnally lets you punch without adding the IN or OUT information
- optionnally automatically turns your device off after you punched
  in or out
- optionnally automatically exits the application after you punched
  in or out
- optionnally exports the recorded entries every week and then
  resets its database; choose on what day this will be done
- punch in and out using the stylus or the UP and DOWN hardware buttons
- optionnally lets you use the DateBook, Address, ToDoList and
  MemoPad hardware buttons to punch in and out

Using this application is very simple:
- start it (I recommend you assign TimeCard to a hardware button)
- tap the IN or OUT button on the screen (or use the hardware buttons)
- that's it !

Now, suppose you assigned the startup of TimeCard to the ToDoList
hardware button, and you use the auto-off option of TimeCard. Punching
in or out is as quick as:
- press the ToDoList hardware button; this will power up your device
  and launch TimeCard
- press the UP or DOWN hardware button; this will punch you in or out
  and automatically turn your device off
- easy, huh ?
