Pocket PC Island, the place for handhelds & PDA's - Pocket PC Articles: "Electric Pocket Wins Acclaim for BugMe! Note-Taking and Reminder Alarm Application for PDA Users

via MobilityNewswire) August, 2003 -- Electric Pocket Limited announces its BugMe! application has won Handango's Champion Award in the category of Best Productivity Application for Symbian OS devices. The company also announces that the BugMe! Comics edition of its Pocket PC version has been nominated in the 'Utilities-Notes' category in Pocket PC Magazine's third annual 'Best Software Awards.'

The Symbian OS version of BugMe! enables users of Sony Ericsson P800 and Nokia Series 60 smartphones to quickly enter notes using digital ink and voice. Users can set a reminder alarm on each note, which will pop-up on the screens of their handsets at the appropriate time.

BugMe! for Pocket PC allows users to jot freehand notes, sketches and diagrams directly on the screens of their handheld devices and even record brief voice recordings that will automatically replay at a time set by the user. Notes can also be in the form of typed text that can be revised by tapping on a special icon and using the on-screen keyboard or the Transcriber handwriting recognition technology built into Pocket PC handhelds.

A new version of BugMe! for Pocket PC will soon be released and a public beta version is currently available at www.electricpocket.com/bugme-ppc. The new version will be Windows Mobile 2003 compatible and include new features such as redesigned icons and user interface, plus integration with the Today screen.

BugMe! retails for $19.95 and a free trial is available from www.electricpocket.com.
