BlackBerry to iPhone Switchers Rejoice: Typing Shortcuts for Fast Emails

December 2nd, 2008

Washington, DC – Former Blackberry and Windows Mobile users who have switched to the iPhone – and anyone else who wants to write emails on their iPhone much faster – will be glad to see the addition of “typing shortcuts” to the latest update to Wide Email, a landscape email program for the iPhone.

Typing shortcuts have been a feature of Blackberry and Windows Mobile email for a long time, and switchers to the iPhone will be glad to have this time-saving feature again.

Quickly type “cu”, and this iPhone landscape email program will automatically insert “see you later”. Or add a custom shortcut that replaces “js” with “John M. Smith, MD, Ph.D.” Users can add, edit, and delete any number of custom shortcuts. These quick shortcuts can even automatically insert entire sentences or paragraphs.

Wide Email also lets iPhone users type emails faster and more accurately by using the wider, landscape-mode keyboard, which is not available in the iPhone’s built-in email program. The horizontal keyboard has wider keys that are easier to see and to hit, even for people with big thumbs. Combined with the wider keyboard, typing shortcuts makes writing emails on the iPhone much faster and more enjoyable.

Wide Email is the only landscape email app for the iPhone that has this feature. This new feature adds to the other features in Wide Email, including unlimited saved drafts, full international character support, and auto-saving of drafts and sent drafts.

Canvastic LLC Launches a Web Version, Canvastic.NET

December 2nd, 2008

Lafayette, CO – Canvastic LLC announces the launch of their first online version of the popular publishing solution for students and teachers called Canvastic.NET. Canvastic version 3.5, is the desktop application for Macintosh and Windows computers. This web application version, .NET, extends the use of Canvastic to any computer anywhere with Internet access and the Adobe Flash plugin installed.

Canvastic.NET (pronounced: CANVASTIC DOT NET) continues and expands on the concept that software tools our students use to publish should be flexible and incredibly easy to use. It loads in just seconds. It is designed for primary students to easily combine their own writing and drawing into attractive, useful published pages. Besides the basic drawing tools and text area there is a feature called “Replay” that displays the student’s work in sequence as in a movie. It is engaging and useful. Vince Ardito, the technology coordinator at Mountain View Elementary School outside Denver, said, “Replay gives me dozens of great ideas for useful activities with the younger students. They love it and it is just a click of the mouse.” Students can print or save a downloaded JPEG file to preserve their work.

Canvastic.NET was developed for three reasons. First, to draw attention to the brand name and the flagship application, Canvastic. Second, to provide a free alternative for primary students’ publishing in schools where budgets for software are non-existent. Steve Gandy, Canvastic LLC partner, said, “So, many teachers have been interested in Canvastic but have told us that there just isn’t any money for software in their schools.” Finally, Canvastic.NET is also a way around the draconian security policies that are in place in many Windows based schools. Gandy also said, “A lot of teachers tell us that they are not even allowed to download software for trial at all – even if we provide free licenses, pilot programs or assurances of safety. They are restricted to using Microsoft Office for all their students. It is just sad – for us but more importantly for the students.”

The plans for Canvastic.NET depend upon its popularity. It will always be available as a free, ad-supported alternative for students and schools everywhere. In the future, ad-free access may be sold as a yearly subscription. Additional features and the customization that is a big part of the desktop application will come as soon as possible.

Canvastic.NET has been successfully tested on Macintosh, Windows, Linux, and Solaris computers using Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox browsers. Installing the current version of Flash is recommended for optimal performance.

Any school can continue to pilot the desktop version of Canvastic for up to 60 days on as many computers as desired. See the prior press release for details. Many school districts still qualify for a free site license for 50% of their schools. See the prior press release for details.

Boinx Software releases Mousepose 3.1

December 2nd, 2008

Munich, Germany – Boinx Software announced today the release of Mousepose 3.1, the essential mouse pointer highlighting tool for everyone doing presentations, screencasts or demos. When activated, it dims the screen and shines a spotlight on the area around the mouse pointer, easily guiding the audiance’s attention to an area of interest. The new version adds a new filter option for displaying keystrokes and improves stability and performance on startup.

“In presentations it’s all about to grab and to focus the attention”, says Oliver Breidenbach, CEO of Boinx Software. “Mousepose makes it easy for your audience to follow your actions on the screen. Of course, there are other uses as well. If you have a large screen, it helps you to quickly locate the mouse pointer when you return to your work after an interruption. And visually impaired people tell us that it helps them as well.”

Mousepose provides many other subtle techniques to focus the attention on the important activities or content during a presentation. It gives audio feedback so that, for example, the audience not only sees the mouse clicks but also hears them. If the area of interest is in a particular part of the window, Mousepose automatically expands the focus to include the window when the mouse is hovering over it for a certain time. This way, the audience is also aware of the larger context.

With the new version 3.1, users can now define a list of custom keystrokes that will not be displayed when using the keystroke display. When modifier and keys are pressed, only complete key combinations are shown. The update also improves stability and performance on startup on some computers.

Pricing and Availability:
Mousepose 3.1 is now available for download from the Web site. Built-in assistants guide the user through the process of obtaining a valid license key. The update from Mousepose 2 is free of charge. New single user licenses are available for $16.95 (USD). The Family License, allowing the use on up to 5 computers in a private household, is available for $29.95 (USD). Upgrades from a single user license to a Family License are available for $13 (USD).
