|
PhatWare Corporation, a leading provider of software products and professional services for mobile and desktop computers, announces today the release of PhatNotes 5.0, the next generation of the company's award-winning notes organizer software for Microsoft Windows based desktop computers and Windows Mobile smartphones.
PhatNotes, a winner of Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine’s Best Software Awards in the notes category for six consecutive years as well as other industry awards, is one of the most popular Pocket PC and Smartphone note-taking applications on the market. PhatNotes allows users to create notes and organize them by type, subject, creation, and modification date. The software provides powerful text search with regular expression support, document security and email capabilities.
We're excited that PhatWare is continuing to develop and enhance the PhatNotes experience for Windows Mobile, and across other Microsoft platforms, providing yet another option for people to communicate, stay organized and get things done.
Unlike previous versions of PhatNotes, the new version will not include multiple editions of the software. Instead, there will be only one edition of PhatNotes that supports both Standard (non-touch screen) and Professional (touch screen) devices and includes the desktop software and the synchronization module for ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows Vista.
"Windows Mobile provides the flexibility for people to customize their mobile experience, choosing the right tools to help them increase their personal and professional productivity while on the go," said John Dietz, group product manager, Microsoft Corp. "We're excited that PhatWare is continuing to develop and enhance the PhatNotes experience for Windows Mobile, and across other Microsoft platforms, providing yet another option for people to communicate, stay organized and get things done.”
