PhatWare Corporation is announcing the beta availability of PhatNotes 5.0, the next generation of the company's notes organizer software for Microsoft Windows based desktop computers, Smartphones and Pocket PCs.

PhatNotes 5.0 Beta 1 is available immediately to consumers for Beta testing, and PhatWare welcomes user participation and feedback.

The software allows users to create notes and organize them by type, subject, creation, and modification date. The software provides powerful text search with regular expression support, document security and email capabilities.

Unlike previous versions of PhatNotes, the new version will not include multiple editions of the software. Instead, there will be only one edition of PhatNotes that supports both Pocket PC and Smartphone devices and includes the desktop software and the synchronisation module for ActiveSync.

New Major Features in version 5 include Microsoft Windows Vista support, Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 support, and a new database manager now supporting multiple groups (folders). A context analyzer allows dialing phone numbers, opening URLs, and sending emails by clicking on a word that represents a phone number, a URL, or an email address.

The final release of PhatNotes 5.0 is expected in Q3 2007.
