According to PhatWare, PhatPad turns any Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC into the "ultimate notepad." Using the PDA's stylus, users can draw pictures, jot text notes, or combine text, drawings, and pictures "to increase their personal and/or professional productivity." Other PhatWare products, such as PenOffice and CalliGrapher, can be combined with PhatPad to complete useful tasks such as turning handwritten notes into digital text.
In addition to the new companion desktop-PC application, other new features in PhatPad 2.0 are said to include: pop-up customizable toolbar; stroke layering; variable page size; and the ability to load JPEG or bitmap files as page background. The new customizable pop-up toolbar can be tailored with as many as 10 buttons from a selection of 36 functions. Photos can be configured to fit the entire page, centered, or zoomed.
The free public beta of Version 2.0 is available
here. The full release is expected in Q4, 2004. Pricing and upgrade info will be announced at that time.
