Electric Pocket Releases BugMe! For Microsoft Pocket PC Devices

New version of legendary BugMe! "sticky note" application allows users to record voice reminders, as well as freehand and text notes and sketches

Today, Electric Pocket Limited released a version of BugMe! for users of handheld devices based on Microsoft Corp.'s Pocket PC platform.

The new Pocket PC version of BugMe! also includes additional functionality that takes advantage of the built-in features of Pocket PC devices, such as allowing the combination of voice recordings with freehand and text messages. BugMe! is among the most downloaded applications by users of Palm Powered(TM) handheld devices, giving users the ability to handwrite notes and sketches directly on the screens of their devices and set reminder alarms.

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. The application offers an intuitive user interface, providing an efficient method to organize notes and an easy alarm setting capability.

"BugMe! is an application that really takes advantage of the great features included within the Pocket PC operating system, giving users an easy means of jotting down or recording quick reminders on their mobile device," said Derek Brown, product manager for the Mobility Division at Microsoft. "We appreciate Electronic Pocket's initiative in bringing increased functionality to the Pocket PC platform."

With BugMe!, handheld computer users can take notes and capture information without having to learn the special characters used in handheld devices. Because BugMe! is so practical and easy to use, it is often cited as one of the most essential third-party applications for Palm handhelds. Reviewers are already giving high marks to the new Pocket PC version of BugMe!

"The first impression I get from taking BugMe! through its paces was that it is a perfectly crafted program that accomplishes what it is created for," said Henry Kong, product reviewer for PDASquare. "There is no way that I can over-rate this program as I really appreciate the amount of thought and thoroughness that was lovingly put into it."

Pocket PC users who have taken an advance look at the new version of BugMe! have also welcomed it with great enthusiasm.

"In my opinion, BugMe! is the killer application of the Palm OS," said Pocket PC user Joe Shockley of Jefferson City, Missouri. "I'm thrilled that this excellent program is now available for the Pocket PC. Thanks to BugMe! for the Pocket PC, I miss my Palm IIIc a lot less."

BugMe! for Pocket PC retails for $19.95. For more information, visit www.bugme.net.
