Web Information Solutions Introduces Pocket Informant 5.02
To Support Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
AUSTIN, Texas and SAN FRANCISCO, CA (March 24, 2004) —Web Information
Solutions, Inc., is introducing its Pocket Informant 5.02
software package to support Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
software for Pocket PCs and Smartphones at the Microsoft Mobile Developer
Conference today in San Francisco.
Web Information Solutions’ flagship product, Pocket Informant, is
a personal information management (PIM) software tool
designed to enhance the built-in Windows Mobile PIM applications with a single
integrated and robust application. This tool gives users the ability to view,
customize and use data in ways that best fit their needs. Version 5.02
features landscape and high-resolution format capabilities,
which take advantage of new features available in Windows Mobile 2003 Second
Edition software.
Web Information Solutions (WebIS, Inc.) is based in Austin,
Texas, a nationally recognized software development center.
Founded in 1997, WebIS, Inc. provides professional Web applications
consulting to small-and medium-sized businesses. The company focuses
on innovation in business and Personal Information Management (PIM). “What
we are introducing will make users take notice. They’ll
want to upgrade their devices and adopt this new software
to support these new handheld features,” commented Alex Kac, founder,
chief executive officer and lead developer for WebIS. “We were pleased
to have been included in Microsoft’s early development process in January
2004, and our development team made this initiative our top priority.”
Advantages
of Version 5.02
Pocket Informant Version 5.02 is now commercially available
and supports all Pocket PC manufacturers – Toshiba, HP and others.
Pocket Informant 5.02 advantages over Version 5.01 are many. Some of the
most prominent features and benefits include the following:
- Crisper text and graphics, which is easier for users to read
and understand.
- Capacity to display more information on the screen due to the landscape
format, thus offering better utilization of overall screen space.
- Support for new devices that allow for better, easier data input
methods.
“With Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, Microsoft has provided
industry partners with a strong platform upon which to develop compelling
and innovative technologies,” said Irwin Rodrigusz, lead product manager
for the Mobile Devices Group at Microsoft Corp. “We are pleased to
support Web Information Solutions as it announces the latest version
of Pocket Information 5.02, which continues to enhance the overall mobile
experience of Windows Mobile device users.”
Kac contends that a key advantage for Microsoft is that WebIS has demonstrated
its ability to develop software to support Microsoft’s landscape and
high-resolution applications quickly and effectively. Version 5.02 already
has been tested and debugged.
WebIS had prior experience working with Microsoft to develop software
to support its Windows Mobile 2002 operating system.
