Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 I would like to welcome WebIS and their 'Pocket Informant', 'FlexMail' and 'Note2Self' applications to our 'Plus Partners' program. "Web Information Solutions, Inc. (WebIS) is a privately held company founded in 1997 to provide small businesses in the Austin, TX area with professional web applications consulting. From 1997 to 2000 WebIS worked in the areas of LAN/WAN networking, software development, web application design, business development, e-Commerce and database driven application hosting. In 2000, we began to explore and work with Windows Mobile/PocketPC devices and currently have several commercial applications available for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone as well as Research In Motion's BlackBerry device. WebIS is now fully committed to creating the most innovative productivity applications for the Mobile market. WebIS is a Microsoft Certified Partner." If you're at all in to Windows Mobile, I am absolutely certain you'll have heard of and likely used one of WebIS' excellent products, and i'm very excited to have them on board with MoDaCo Plus with THREE of their applications! In their own words... Pocket Informant is The Next Generation in Personal Daily Management, but we don't just say that; we mean it. Pocket Informant 8 doesn't just simply let you work with your daily events through lists and grids, but with the new Events and Journal views you can look at your life's past and future in an easy cohesive environment. Even create contact links within your appointment or tasks' subject and notes let you quickly access a named contact without having to resort to links or a search. Most suprisingly, this power doesn't come at the cost of a complicated, cluttered interface. Pocket Informant 8 brings a new level of ease of use to your mobile device. Version 8 introduces a new Roles based user-interface that lets you scale the user-interface and feature to your needs offering you just the power you want. A fully one handed interface lets you use Pocket Informant without ever touching the stylus - or if you prefer finger control Pocket Informant brings finger touch scrolling, a touch ABC bar in Contacts, and new finger friendly time pickers. These are just a taste of the new features that Pocket Informant 8 provides that separates it from any other PIM on the market. This just builds on top of the already easy and powerful features that have made Pocket Informant the winner of the best business application and PIM for this and previous years at Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine. To get a list of features, click here. Designed for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone Pocket Informant was the first full PIM (personal information management) for Windows Mobile in 2000 and with version 8 Smartphones are now fully supported. With a scalable interface that can go between the touchable finger user interface, to a stylus use interface, all the way to a completely one handed interface Pocket Informant 8 works the way you want it to. Bring the power of Windows Mobile 6 to your Windows Mobile device today. Go beyond the basics of Windows Mobile 6 and upgrade to FlexMail! Winner of the multiple awards in 2004/2005/2006 from the Shareware Industry Conference and Pocket PC Magazine, FlexMail is a full fledged email client for your Windows Mobile device. It supports reading and replying to ActiveSync email for basic operations or through its infinitely more powerful POP3/IMAP4 services to your email server. With support for industry standard SSL and SOCKS proxies, you can connect to almost any email provider including GMail! FlexMail 2007 Revision 2 now brings Smartphone support, full IMAP IDLE support (Direct Email Push), hundreds of user interface improvements, implementation of tens of feature requests, and major reliability improvement. Its a whole new FlexMail in more ways than ever before. With FlexMail's many options you can customize your email usage much more than the Windows Mobile device Messaging app allows. Receive your email via ActiveSync and respond via your POP3/IMAP4 SMTP account. Get immediate per email notifications via IMAP IDLE even when your Windows Mobile device is sleeping! Have FlexMail only hold the last 5 days of your IMAP folders. Create local folders and server folders. Synchronize by age, size, and synchronizations status on a per folder basis allowing you to get only the last 5 day's worth of email in your Inbox but the last months in your Personal folder, for example. What is Note2Self? (previously named VoiceMinder) Note2Self is a simple solution for those of us who keep track of their task items via email. Note2Self allows you to quickly record a voice note and have it sent as an email to your email address of choice with just two button presses: start/stop! No user interface to mess with. No complexities. Just drive/walk/whatever and press the user-configured hotkey to start recording and the hotkey again to stop - instant voice mail! How easy is it to setup Note2Self offers three ways to send your voice notes: Using your existing ActiveSync connection Using your own SMTP Server which you can import from FlexMail or enter manually Using the WebIS Note2Self Sending Service - just type in your subscription code and you're done! Why do I need it? As wonderful as our Windows Mobile devices are, they still lack an easy way to create actionable items with the most natural method of output we have: our voice. Sure, you can record a voice memo, but what then? You have to remember to listen to it later - it requires an additional action from you, and like a lot of us, you just forget you made the recording and find it weeks later. You could open up Inbox Mobile, create an email to yourself, start the voice recorder, make your recording, then send the email...but try that while driving (actually, don't). You could create a calendar appointment, but what if you aren't able to view the screen on your device? The execution is simple: Note2Self is a single-button push to start, single-button push to finish, fully automated solution that allows you to record a voice memo and email it to a specific email address. Why email? For many of us, it is our to-do list. If I have an email sitting in my Inbox, I can take action on it. The key to having Note2Self unlock your productivity is to have it be incredibly streamlined and focused. It's a one-trick pony, yes, but it's a really useful trick. What about disconnected PDAs? Note2Self lets you save your voice notes to a local database for sending later on when you are connected via ActiveSync or Wifi. The scenario there is that when you sync with your desktop PC, Note2Self will use the ActiveSync pass-through connection to deliver the voice memos to your Inbox. The default voice memo recording level is quite space-efficient: a 23 second recording is only 183 KB and with Not2Self you can now record messages with the really tiny Ogg Vorbis encoder. To read more about any of the applications, visit the appropriate product page - Pocket Informant, FlexMail or Note2Self - or the main products page.
