Presentations:
Perhaps your
company is rolling out a new product, or offering a new
service. You can make a good first impression by offering
clients a demontration or video presentation in a truely
portable format. The options here are seemingly endless.
You can even hand out flash media at tradeshows with your
product and company information.

Hi-Resolution
and Color:
Applications can be customized to fit your particular visual
tastes as well. We can incorporate corporate logos, insignia,
and trademarks. Depending on the targeted device, we can
include support for high resolution, color devices, and
even devices with expanding displays, such as the PalmOne®
Tungsten T3™. The possiblities are endless. Remember
though, that Hi-Resolution devices do not necessarily show
more data, but rather, is simply easier to read. Expanding
screens do offer more display area however.

Multimedia:
Although
we do offer the presentation style applications mentioned
above, they are limited to 'movie' style animations. We
do not currently offer MP3, MPEG, AVI, or other audio/video
type applications (although we can certainly use those formats
to create your presentation). The development time for those
types of applications tend to be very long, which equates
to very expensive. We feel that our expertise can be better
utilized by providing applications we are efficient at creating.
There are many developers who specialize in multimedia applications
who would certainly serve this purpose better.

Computational:
Perhaps you don't need a database at all. Although database
applications are what PDA's were origionally intended for,
you are not limited to just that. Complex mathmatical formulae
can be programmed to ease the workload of users. Things
such as mortgage calculators and scoring applications can
simplify employees jobs, or offer your customers a functional
'business card' that does more than sit in their wallet.
Combine this with a presentation style application, and
you've got a much more effective advertisement than a pen
with your company name.

Specialized
Tasks:
One of the great things about past and present PDA's is
the digitizer. This is the part of the PDA that translates
on-screen writing into something the PDA can understand.
PDA's are not limited to jotting notes or tapping on tiny
buttons though. Due to the higher resolution of today's
devices, things like accurate signature capture is simple
to integrate into almost any application.
Almost
all devices (even the older ones) also have the ability
to wirelessly 'beam' data to another device. This is done
through the use of an infrared (IR) port located on each
device. This ability allows users to transfer important
data between devices without the need for internet/intranet
connectivity. The Bluetooth®
protocol is another way to transfer data over short distances
wirelessly. Many modern PDA's and even cellular phones now
have this ability.
Our
applications can include all of these features, as well
as IR and Bluetooth wireless printer support, for printing
invoices or reciepts from portable printers. Although we
do not specialize in hardware development, we will gladly
help you to create a hardware/software solution to fit your
needs.

Easy installation:
Our applications
are often delivered with a miniature installer. You may
be familiar with installer packages, as they are the familiar
moving progress bar you see when installing a new piece
of software on your PC. Handheld devices benefit from installers
by offering users the simplicity of downloading or HotSync®
a single file. You benefit by having the installer place
multiple files, address book entries, ToDo list items, or
instruction manuals on the user's device without any extra
work on their part. Confirmation screens and End-User-License
agreements can be integrated to alert users of important
release notes, or other important information before the
installation process proceeds.

User Guides:
Most users
will start using a new application before even glancing
at the included documentation. To make sure that the user
fully understands the application, we can embed help files
directly within the application, create a manual/user guide,
or both. Manuals can be presented to the user in a variety
of formats including (but not limited to) PDF,
HTML, CHM, DOC, TXT, Palm
PDF, Palm Reader,
and RTF. You choose the format, content, and style, and
we make sure it is easy to use and understand. Screenshots,
or pictures of the application as it would appear on the
device, are used to convey processes quickly. Most formats
allow the use of internet style 'links' that allow the user
to navigate freely, yet easily find the information they
need quickly.

Device Training:
Are your users
not fluent in the use of PDA technology? Perhaps they have
been using older devices and are overwhelmed by the features
offered by today's devices. We can offer PDA training to
both new and experienced users. This service is available
on either a one on one basis, or in a group environment
at the location of your choice. Training encompasses all
aspects of PDA use, including the most popular applications
on the market. Give your users and yourself the ability
to fully exploit the power available in modern PDA's.
