Palm OS Software

Welcome to this week's roundup! We have a new update to Bookworm and Agendus for WM. Plus there are other new and updated apps to check out.

Palm OS New:

Pronto Build Your Own Forms v1.1

Pronto, by TrueContext Corporation, allows companies to immediately eliminate paper forms with real-time capture and reporting of mission-critical information using BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices. Pronto easily mobilizes common processes like inspections, audits, surveys and work orders used in multiple industries.

My wife works for a big grocery shipping corporation here in North Carolina as a scanning coordinator. I've helped her scan literally hundreds of thousands of sheets of paper - which are then either thrown away or recycled. If a company were to use this, it could cut back on my wife's workload quite a bit, as well as save a LOT of wasted paper. I'm for it, as long as she isn't out of a job, LoL!

Features:

  • Create mobile forms without programming or coding
  • Capture information on your mobile device
  • Enter data with intuitive form controls:
    • Drop Down Lists
    • Radio Buttons
    • Check Box
    • And many more
  • Collect information whether on-line and off-line
  • Report plus view/export data in common formats (CSV, XML, PDF)
  • Manage Projects with simple controls for users, devices and forms
  • Automatically manage communication and battery

Minimum Requirements:

  • No servers to install or programming required -- just a knowledge of your business.
  • BlackBerry devices with OS 4.1 or higher
  • Windows Mobile version 5 or 6 with Touchscreen
  • Pronto web portal is optimized for Internet Explorer.
