Conclusion

BugMe! Messenger is an excellent application allowing you to bypass Graffiti to create reminders or notes. It allows you to quickly create or annotate images which you can later e-mail to another party. It has a very simple user interface that is intuitive and quick. What I found extremely powerful was not just the speed in which it allowed me to perform these functions, but the promise of a true collaborative tool for business and pleasure. I find the ability to annotate any image sent to you or captured, an extremely useful application of mobile technology. My fiance, who is a designer, loved the idea that she could use her EyeModule to capture images on-site, mark them up and then deliver them to the office without leaving her location. I see unlimited applications for this technology. Which brings me to a special surprise.

VC Scoop

Don't you just love it at the end of a movie when as a special treat they play the outtakes? Well for those of you who stuck with me through this review, you get a special treat. No, not the typos that were removed, but some special news. In March BugMe! Messenger will add support to the EyeModule and EyeModule 2. I've seen a beta, so I know it isn't vapor-ware. As a special added bonus, we have secured a special discount for VC readers. If you act now you can get BugMe! Messenger for $29.95, a $10 discount. And BTW, anyone who buys BugMe! Messenger will get free upgrades for life.
