Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Source: BusinessWire Looks like SmartphoneNotes has some competition! :D PhatWare Corporation, a leading provider of software products and professional services for mobile and desktop computers, today announced the release of PhatNotes Smartphone Edition, the first notes organizer application specifically designed for Microsoft Windows Mobile-based Smartphones. PhatNotes Smartphone Edition allows people to easily create, search, and sort text-based notes on both their Smartphones and Windows-based desktop PCs; they can also synchronize notes between the two platforms, giving them a powerful new way to manage and access personal information on-the-go. PhatNotes Smartphone Edition incorporates all the convenient features found in the company's existing notes organizer product for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs and adds some new features including: Desktop PC notes synchronization; Microsoft Outlook support; hyperlinks between notes; multiple notes database support with tree-like views; hierarchical notes organizer; customizable views; user reminders; and much more. "Since their introduction last fall, Windows Mobile-based Smartphones have both simplified and expanded communications options for people the world over. It's become clear that those users are looking for a new way to organize their personal notes as well," said Stan Miasnikov, President of PhatWare Corporation. "PhatNotes Smartphone Edition satisfies that need using the robust, proven notes technology we established for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs." Winner of Pocket PC Magazine's "Best Notes Software" award in 2001, 2002, and 2003, PhatNotes gives people an unprecedented ability to manage their personal and professional notes. Notes can be sorted and organized by category, date, or subject, with password protection available for individual notes. For the user's convenience, notes can be sent as email messages directly from the Note Editor; what's more, synchronizing multiple notes databases with Microsoft Outlook or the PhatNotes desktop application is as easy as clicking a button. In order to ensure full compatibility with the Windows Mobile software for Smartphones, PhatNotes has been tested and certified with the Designed for Windows Mobile for Smartphones logo. "Windows Mobile-based Smartphones are all about convenience, utility and fun," said Julie Wymetalek, manager of the Mobility Partner Advisory Council at Microsoft Corp. "PhatWare, through its introduction of PhatNotes Smartphone Edition, is adding to the appeal of Smartphones by offering an application that helps people manage the myriad reminders, bits of information, contacts and ideas they collect throughout their day." PhatNotes Smartphone Edition supports all Windows Mobile-based Smartphones currently available in the U.S., including the Samsung i600 from Verizon and the Motorola MPx200 with Windows Mobile software from AT&T. In Europe, the application will soon support the Orange SPV1 and SPV2 Smartphone devices. Pricing and Availability PhatNotes Smartphone Edition is currently available for purchase via the PhatWare website, www.phatware.com, and its authorized resellers. Standard price for PhatNotes Smartphone Edition is $29.95; however, for a limited time the product carries a special introductory price of $19.95. Existing users of PhatNotes Standard or Professional Editions may purchase a Smartphone-only version of the product for $9.95, supporting synchronization between the Smartphone and their PhatNotes-equipped desktop PC.
