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.
Pros
- Necessary functions not built into Palm OS
- Intuitive interface
- Excellent Communication Tools
- Free Upgrades for Life
