?
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.
