It seems like we're going to see quite a bit of activity now that MS Smartphones have been officially released in the USA :)

Handmark Announces New Applications for Windows Mobile-based Smartphones

KANSAS CITY, MO - October 21, 2003 In conjunction with today's U.S. availability of the Microsoft Windows Mobile-based Smartphone, Handmark, the number one publisher of consumer software for handheld devices*, announced that they will launch five productivity applications for Windows Mobile software for Smartphones. The Windows Mobile-based Smartphone introduces an entirely new mobile phone experience through the integration of smart software and small, stylish handsets, all within an experience that is familiar to Windows users.  

New Handmark titles for Windows Mobile Smartphones include:

MobileDB, the award-winning handheld database with new features designed specifically for wireless connectivity.  

Checklist for maintaining shopping, to-do, and other quick lists  

PDA Photo application that allows anyone to use their new Windows Mobile Smartphone to carry family photos or even a product catalog.  

PDA Bible makes both traditional and modern translations available for reading and study everywhere a mobile phone can be carried.  

Perhaps the most universally useful title from Handmark is the Oxford American Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus. This unique application combines the two most used reference tools in one integrated tool that can now be used anywhere.  

These five titles will become essential to users of Windows Mobile Smartphone who want information and reference available anywhere at anytime.  

"This is just the beginning for Handmark," said Douglas Edwards, vice president of marketing for Handmark. "Wireless connectivity with advanced computing power in a handheld changes our business and the user experience. Everything Handmark is working on now focuses on applications that do more with wireless."

"Windows Mobile software provides a revolutionary mobile phone experience that helps people stay better connected to their information and provides opportunity for the mobile industry to deliver new services, applications and innovative handsets," said Julie Wymetalek, partner manager for the Mobile Devices Division at Microsoft Corp. "Handmark adds additional value to Windows Mobile-based Smartphones, by bringing their high-quality PDA applications to this exciting new platform."

Don't mean to be negative, but weren't these already available? I know two different versions of the same thing can be quite different to use but are we actually going to see anything genuinely new?
