Journal Bar for BlackBerry V1.1 released
- Oct. 31 2006 ? Ron Radko

Sammamish, WA ? Omega One, a leading provider of utility applications for mobile devices, is pleased to announce the release of version 1.1 of its top selling application Journal Bar for the BlackBerry.

Journal Bar has been one of the top selling products for the Pocket PC since it's release in 2003, and it was only natural that the product be ported to other platforms.

Journal Bar gets weather, stocks & news information from various sources on the Internet and downloads the information in a super-compressed format to the PDA device. The information is loaded in the background, and is available for immediate presentation to the user, when they want to see it!  This not only means users get their information much faster and more easily, but also means it minimizes bandwidth - an important consideration for users with expensive connections. By using Journal Bar, customers could save $100s in a year over getting the information by other means.

"Version 1.1 builds on the strong foundation of the version 1.0 product, and adds one of the fastest news readers available for the BlackBerry, along with offline news storage in a highly compressed format", said Ron Radko, Vice President of Omega One.

Journal Bar is available as a one year subscription on www.omegaone.com, www.handango.com, and other leading online retailers.

Omega One has several leading applications for the Smartphone and Pocket PC including Battery Pack Pro, the top selling Pocket PC application for two straight years. Omega One?s other top selling products Journal Bar, an Internet content viewer, 1-Calc, a universal calculator, and 1-Pass, a physical security application have all been the top selling products in their categories since release. Battery Pack Pro and 1-Calc are also available for the Smartphone.
