PC World Magazine and About.com Articles Report Glowing Assessments of BugMe! for PDA and Smartphone Users

PC World Magazine and About.com have both recently published reviews of Electric Pocket's BugMe! note-taking and reminder-alarm software for PDAs and smartphones.

(PRWEB) September 22, 2004 -- PC World Magazine and About.com have both recently published reviews of Electric Pocket's BugMe! note-taking and reminder-alarm software for PDAs and smartphones. Versions of BugMe! are available for Palm OS, Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Nokia Series 60 and Sony Ericsson UIQ devices. The Palm OS version was recently re-launched as BugMe! Notepad, and includes a host of new features such as scrollable notes, bundled clip-art and distinctive alarm sounds. BugMe! Notepad also enables users to share notes by email, MMS or Bluetooth or save them to memory cards for use in documents and email messages.

"Over the last few years, BugMe has evolved into a powerful note-taking tool that surpasses most note-taking tools, including the one built-in to the Palm OS," reports William Hungerford of About.com. He also reports that "BugMe Notepad is note-taking software on steroids with features like using screenshots as templates, alarms, and the ability to email or SMS notes. If you want to do more with your handwritten notes, BugMe Notepad is well worth the cost."

"...what I really like about BugMe is that you can use it with something other than a blank screen--a photo or a map, for example," said Denny Arar of PC World Magazine. "I was able to select one of the images I'd captured with my Treo 600's camera and annotate it using the entire range of BugMe tools, even adding text using the Treo's keyboard."

Ms. Arar also appreciates the smart launch capabilities of BugMe! Notepad. "If you type a phone number, e-mail address, or URL from your contact list into your note, BugMe recognizes it and creates a link. Tap that link and it either dials the number, initiates a blank e-mail message, or activates the browser to view the Web site on a connected PDA. You can also e-mail notes within BugMe from a list of saved notes."
