PhatWare Announces Upgrades to PhatPad - Award-Winning Notes Organizing Software for Windows Mobile PDAs



PhatPad 2.1 Offers Several New Features Including Animation Mode; Vertical and Horizontal Auto Scrolling; and Improved Overall Functionality

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - January 24, 2005 - PhatWare Corporation, a leading provider of software products and professional services for mobile and desktop computers, announces the upgrade to its award-winning notes organizer for Microsoft Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs, Tablet and Desktop PCs. The application turns any Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC or Tablet PC into the ultimate notepad. The user can draw pictures, jot text notes, or combine text, drawings and pictures to increase their personal and professional productivity.

PhatPad 2.1 features the Animation Mode that allows users to open handwritten notes and pictures as an animation clip. The program will automatically "flip" through pages of notes at a specified speed, providing the user with a quick preview of the "live" notes. For example, a user can draw a map of street directions, adding new streets on each page of notes and have the ability to view them in animation for quick reference.

"The new version of PhatPad brings greater functionality to an already award-winning product," said Stan Miasnikov, president of PhatWare Corporation. "The new Animation Mode gives users the convenience to quickly preview their notes, bringing increased efficiency to notes organizing."

Additional features of PhatPad 2.1 include improved shape recognition that now supports arrows; customizable vertical and horizontal auto scrolling; a new command to duplicate a note's pages; and the ability to scroll the page with the stylus.

"PhatPad 2.1 exemplifies PhatWare's continuing commitment to deliver a very unique and compelling productivity application to users of Windows Mobile-based devices," said Julie Wymetalek, manager of the Mobility Partner Advisory Council at Microsoft Corp. "New features, such as Animation Mode, demonstrate the power of Windows Mobile and its ability to provide a great platform that industry partners can continue to build upon."

PhatPad can be used with CalliGrapher and/or PenOffice to convert handwritten notes to the digital text. CalliGrapher and PenOffice handwriting recognition products are sold separately but are also available as PhatPad software bundles at a discounted rate.

PhatPad 2.1 is priced at $29.95 and is available for purchase on PhatWare's Web site, www.phatware.com, and from PhatWare's authorized resellers. A free upgrade is offered to registered users of PhatPad 2.0. Registered users of older versions of PhatPad can purchase the product for $14.95.
