On December 3rd, the whole world will be able to order TextMaker, the first word processor for the Pocket PC. Today only, Pocket PC Thoughts readers are the only ones that can order the application - and at $5 US/5 Euros off the normal price! You net price will be $44.95 for the electronic version of TextMaker. You say you want an alternative to Word on the desktop? Get the desktop+PPC bundle for $59.95, a full $10 off the normal price. HPC users? You're included too - $59.95 for the HPC+desktop version, $10 off the normal price.
In addition, the developer has agreed to give Thoughts a generous affiliate bonus, so you'll be supporting our work as well. What is TextMaker? What does it offer? Keep reading.
TextMaker is everything we wished Pocket Word could be. Let's face it: Pocket Word is really Pocket Notepad (if that). We've long known that in terms of document fidelity, Palm's Documents to Go application was a better solution than what we had on the Pocket PC. No more - TextMaker allows a remarkably higher level of document fidelity to be maintained on the Pocket PC, and allows for a richer level of editing than anything we've had previously. If you create documents on your Pocket PC, or edit Word documents via email, TextMaker is a must-have application.
The list of features is impressive. Here are a few of the more notable ones:
Documents can be opened and saved in numerous formats e.g. TextMaker for Windows, Pocket Word, Word for Windows, RTF, ASCII, Unicode
Search/replace text and formatting
Calculations in text and tables
Outliner
Multi-language spell-checker and hyphenation
Insert images in numerous formats (BMP, 2BP, TIFF, PCX, GIF, JPEG, TGA, PNG, PhotoCD, IFF, IMG, PBM, PPM, PGM)
Insert drawings (lines, rectangles, circles etc.)
Text, tables, images etc. can be placed in "frames" the surrounding body text is automatically wrapped around them
Integrated dBase compatible database (for mail-merging and address lookup)
Documents can be encrypted and protected against reading/changing them
Other sites have written reviews on the beta, so give them a read for further details.
Remember, this deal only lasts 24 hours, so order it today!
