A lot of us have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of TextMaker, the Pocket Word replacement from Softmaker. Well, it's finally available for download...as a beta product.
There have already been a few reviews written about this beta version. You can read a couple of them on the Pocket PC Life and Compu2Go sites.
I've had a chance to use this for a few days, and I have to admit that it has LOADS of features that I like. This product doesn't include all of the functionality of desktop Word, but it does an incredible job of finally making the Pocket PC and desktop Word function as an integrated unit. The details of the features are too many to mention here, but you can see a pretty complete listing here. The final version can't be downloaded yet, but you can pre-order it using this same link...for $49.95. If you also want the desktop companion version, you'll have to pay $69.95. These prices might seem a little steep to some people, but if you really need to create and edit Word-compatible documents, you may just decide it's a very fair price.
