SplashData Releases SplashNotes
SplashData has released its new SplashNotes program for Palm OS today. SplashNotes is a note-taking and planning tool aimed at helping people outline and organize everything from work projects, meeting agendas and speeches to class notes and event plans.
SplashNotes is a powerful note taker, list manager, outliner and information
organizer for Palm handhelds and smartphones, including Treo, Zire and
Tungsten models. It comes with companion Windows software that enables users
to enter their notes on a desktop computer and then synchronize the notes
with a Palm handheld.
"There are so many practical uses for SplashNotes, both personal and professional," said Morgan Slain, SplashData's CEO. "Businesspeople can use it for meetings, projects, and collaboration among teams. Teachers can use it for lesson planning, and students can use it to take notes. Pastors can use it to prepare sermons. Little League coaches can use it to plan for practice and record the progress of their players."
Key features of SplashNotes include:
- A drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to organize your ideas into a cohesive plan
- Automatic line-numbering, alphabetizing and bullet points
- Sharing of outlines by email, infrared beaming or WiFi
- Attachments of sketches and pictures
- The ability to save commonly used outlines as templates, making it easy to begin a new note without starting from scratch
- Nearly unlimited "Undo" capabilities, making it simple to eliminate bad ideas and simple mistakes from an outline
- Support for importing and exporting to Microsoft Word
SplashNotes for Palm OS is available now for $29.95. It supports Palm OS 3.5 and higher. A free trial version is available.

RE: ThoughtManager?
Over the past year, however, I get the distinct feeling that they are just treading water (at least on the Palm OS side). They haven't released an update to ANY of their Splash apps since this time last year. At least they managed to attain Treo 700p & 680 compatibility in their last round of updates! Meanwhile, SplashBlog was sold off to someone else and removed from their site, SplashTravel seems a sort of haphazard collection of utilities that's somehow not quite as elegant as their previous efforts and now this repackaged/rebranded release.
I'm not criticizing them, just pointing out what is likely just a sad but undeniable reality facing publishers & developers who were previously loyal to POS. There are quite honestly probably too many mobile platforms out there for companies to support religiously. So they'll go with the safest best (WinMob, BlackBerry, Series 60, Symbian) with poor ol' Palm OS being more and more the odd man out. And with Palm giving increasingly generous (and capable) software bundles with their trickle of new Palm OS handhelds, publishers have even less incentive to keep updating old apps or releasing new ones.

RE: ThoughtManager?
I happen to be a member of the SplashData Yahoo User Group and went there before finalizing this post. There it is candidly and upfront stated that the program is an updated version of ThoughtManager. They also state that the only obvious change is the application icons, they give information about "upgrade" pricing and an introductory price of $19.95. They also have been talking about an upcoming major update to SplashID for months. :)
I agree that SplashData has not been releasing updates like they used to but I have attributed this to the fact that they have been porting all of their software to other platforms. I still think they are a good company with good products worth supporting and I am hopeful that their adoption of ThoughtManager means that it will receive meaningful updates in the future, especially since it seems that HandsHigh was not doing anything with it.

RE: ThoughtManager?
I'd say that SplashPhoto & SplashID still merit continued development, at least.
I'd also love to see these guys do a voice memo/call recording app. If anyone could wring decent performance out of the 700p it'd be these guys.

ThoughtManager?
My question is, what are the improvements, if any, are there in this version over the version available on the HandsHigh site?
