PhatWare Corporation, a leading provider of software products and professional services for mobile and desktop computers, announced today, the release of PhatPad 4.0, the next generation of the company’s award-winning notes organizer for Microsoft Windows-based Tablet, Desktop and Windows Mobile powered Pocket PCs.

PhatPad allows users to draw pictures, jot notes or put a mixture of pictures and typed text on a virtual scratch pad. The program uses new digital ink technology, which provides a very smooth ink flow, so it feels like writing on an actual piece of paper. While working with the note editor, PhatPad offers standard editing commands in addition to a customizable pen palette and variable pen width.

One of the most notable new features in PhatPad 4.0 is support for typed text in addition to digital ink. Typed text can be inserted into the new or existing PhatPad documents in the form of text objects or labels. PhatPad allows up to 1,000 text objects per page with each text object containing up to 16KB of text and attributes such as background, border, and text color and text font. Users can then edit, move or delete existing text objects. All text is stored in Unicode and is supported on both desktop and Pocket PCs. 

The upgraded software also includes:

• Allowing background images

• Allowing toolbar customization

• Supporting handwriting recognition (PenOffice and/or CalliGrapher software is required, sold separately); Tablet PC recognizer can be also used

• Supporting vertical and horizontal auto scrolling

• Mixing digital text, handwriting and drawing on the same page

• Supporting document templates

• Supporting printing (Desktop/Tablet PC)

• Supporting document password protection with 265-bit encryption

• Includeing 7 UI themes (Desktop/Tablet PC)

• Including new bring to front/send to back commands

• Allowing changing page order in the PhatPad document

• Allowing notes animation with new Animation feature

• Includeing multiple customizable toolbars

• Includeing new File and Page managers for Pocket PC

• Including new Pocket PC Today screen add-on

• Supporting Windows Mobile 5.0

The application works on Pocket PCs running Windows Mobile 2003 or later and Tablet, Desktop and UMPCs with Windows 2000 SP3 or later (including Windows Vista with Windows Mobile Device Center component).
