I've been awaiting the final release of this software, and after using it for a few minutes today, this might become one of the most-used programs on my Pocket PC. As a new home owner, I have a huge number of things to keep track of, and PerfectHome will help me do that. The UI is fantastic!
The only downside I can see is that the desktop version won't come out until late March, which is unfortunate because the lengthy data entry for home inventory will be painful on a Pocket PC. I also question how useful room dimensions are when you can't create specs for each wall - up here in Canada, our rooms aren't perfectly square. ;-) These minor quibbles aside, PerfectHome looks like a winner. I'm really interested in knowing what others think of the product...
• Easily manage and organize every important detail about your home or apartment.
• Home Inventory Manager: Track information about all your valuable assets for insurance or reference purposes. Never forget warranty expiration dates, serial numbers, appraisal values and such important details.
• Shopping Lists: Quickly create and edit handy shopping lists for everyday purchases.
• Rooms and Locations: Get help when shopping for new furniture, carpets, curtains or paint. PerfectHome enables you to track dimensions, paint colors, and other details about every area in your home.
• Home Improvement/Management Task Lists: Easily create Task Lists for keeping up with maintenance projects in your home. Projects can include home improvement, efficiency, security, repair and more.
• Loan Analyzer: Use the powerful Loan Analyzer feature to perform various calculations and what-if scenarios with your home mortgage. View amortization tables, compare loans for refinancing, see the effects of early payments etc.
• Personal Video/DVD Library: Create, personalize and track your personal Video, DVD, or CD collections.
PerfectHome can be purchased from Handango for $19.99 (affiliate link).
