An Opportunity is Knocking …..

Every once in a while you get an opportunity "knocking at your door" and this is one of those times.
When I got my first Pocket PC, the very first program I purchased was RESCO Explorer, the second program I purchased was TextMaker. I have never had a pocket PC without both these programs installed since that time.
Why? Because productivity was the name of the game and these two programs provided me with the opportunity to maintain my personal productivity at a very high level.
For those of you that have NOT tried SoftMaker Office, it is a wordprocessor and spreadsheet combination that once you try it, you will ALWAYS use it. It is just absolutely incredible to see and use such a powerful and easy to use program. No more will you ever be concerned about how your work will "interface" with Microsoft Office. It just does and does so flawlessly.
I encourage you to "open the door" of opportunity and try out the public beta of SoftMaker Office 2006. I am convinced that after you try it, you will add this powerful program to your cadre of "must have" programs.
SoftMaker Office 2006 for Pocket PCs is now in public beta testing!
You can download the beta for free from the SoftMaker web site:

SoftMaker Office contains our two desktop-class office applications for Pocket PCs in one package: - Word processor: TextMaker 2006 for Pocket PCs - Spreadsheet: PlanMaker 2006 for Pocket PCs With SoftMaker Office, you can work on important Microsoft Word and Excel documents and be certain that all formatting and content will be preserved. No other mobile office suite offers this. NOTE: If you already use the beta of TextMaker for Pocket PCs and just want to extend it until October 31, 2006, you can also download the TextMaker-only beta here:
(You need your TextMaker beta serial number for this, and it won’t let you try out PlanMaker. So, better get the complete SoftMaker Office beta…)

Any word on special pricing consideration for the public willing to debug this beta?
I am not aware of anything like that … as a matter of fact, I have not heard of anyone ever doing that…although it would be nice.
Usually, when a piece of software reaches the “publc beta” stage, most (if not all) of the “bugs” are worked out. I like the opportunity to try beta’s because you can get a feel for the changes and decide if it is the right time to upgrade.
Some programs I never upgrade because I am satisfied with the current version but others I always choose to upgrade because I want the “latest and greatest” for that particular piece. I use TextMaker so much that it is one that I always tend to upgrade.
