Organize Files with FilePoint

Bachmann Software has launched FilePoint, an application designed to help users manage their files. It allows users to organize applications and documents into a hierarchy of folders and subfolders and includes the ability to drag and drop documents among folders, plus the ability to browse or search for documents by title or file type. Users are able to open their documents directly from a folder, and retrieve documents that were recently opened. It sells for $20 and is available now.

Users can open, beam, or print their data with a single tap of the stylus. Applications can be launched, too. FilePoint is able to interpret documents from the many third party developers and file formats, such as Quickoffice, WordSmith, thinkDB, MiniCalc, Documents To Go and others.

It does not support accessing files on external storage cards, like SD/MMC or Memory Sticks.

"With the addition of documents, spreadsheets, databases and other computer content, handhelds have become much more than digital rolodexes," said Dan Reuvers, Bachmann Software's vice president. "If you are having a difficult time tracking down the documents you need when you need them, it defeats the purpose of having a handheld computer. FilePoint provides users with many of the Windows Explorer-type organizational tools they are accustomed to at their desktops and is designed to help them access their information faster and more easily."
