New Beta Organizes Palm

As Palm upgrades its hardware, more and more files can be stored in any given handheld's memory. With a significant number of files, organization and access time soon become an issue. Many third party developers have answered the call to improve file management on handhelds beyond what is offered by the core Palm OS. At PC Expo in New York, Bachmann Software announced that it was up to the task.

A beta of FilePoint, a file management system, is currently in testing and the final code will be available to Palm customers within 60 days. FilePoint features fast searching by filename, keyword, and date. It is also compatible with the most popular business applications for Palm OS. A simple interface manages all tasks including viewing, editing, and file sharing.

Dan Reuvers, Bachmann Software's vice president of business development stated, "As the success of third-party documents, spreadsheets and databases continues to grow, storing a large number of files in a single folder without effective file management capabilities is no longer practical."

No pricing has been announced as of yet. For more information visit the Bachmann Software Web site. A download of FilePoint will be made available via FileForum upon release.
