Here's one I discovered today that I haven't seen posted anywhere:

When setting appointments in Google's calendar, before 1.1 I could set "pop-up reminders" (that's what Google calendar calls the reminders that alert on the Pre device) for something that wasn't included in the Pre's preset list, but the Pre's would ignore all non-standard time reminders. For example, if I had an alarm set to beep 2 or 3 minutes before an appointment, it wouldn't work.

Now it does!!

I've tested by creating an event in my Google Calendar that was from 9:11am to 9:16am with a 2 minute pop-up reminder, and sure enough, not only was the event properly populated in my Pre calendar, the Pre alerted me at 9:09am, just like it was supposed to!!

So the 1.1 update now means that non-standard alert times are recognized by the Pre. What I haven't tested is something like a 5 day alert. (I used to have that set in my Treo for my anniversary so I had time to buy an anniversary present.)

UPDATE: I just tested creating an event 4 days in the future (though it was a timed event, not an all day event) and setting a 4 day alert. That worked too!!
