Idruna Software, maker of professional image management utility Pocket Phojo, recently released a major update to its software. Pocket Phojo is targeted towards photojournalists with a need to get photos to editors as quickly as possible. I think that Pocket Phojo represents at least two very interesting aspects. First, the actual feature set and capabilities are astonishing. Well respected dpreview.com, known for their in-depth reviews of digital cameras, has written a review of the software that bears witness of its strength. Second, it's great to see Pocket PCs being used to make life easier to an entire professional category. Check out the article in the magazine News Photographer called More over laptops: Make room for Phojo to get a better understanding of how Pocket Phojo is really used.
"For situations such as rapidly breaking stories, or in locations where laptops are impractical, this represents a breakthrough in the time required to get a photo from the camera to the photo desk. Running on the latest state of the art HP iPAQ Pocket PCs, comparable in speed to a Pentium class laptop, yet less than 10oz in weight, Pocket Phojo offers many benefits versus a laptop, including size, weight, instant-on functionality, security, battery life, sunlight readability, and the sheer convenience of being able to fit in a pocket. Since it's launch in January of 2002, Pocket Phojo has proven itself as the essential tool for photojournalists wishing to lighten their load, while still being able to browse, caption, crop, scale, tone, and transmit their images, with customers such as The San Antonio Express News, Time Magazine, Philadelphia Enquirer, Miami Herald, LA Times, Verdens Gang, Aften Posten, Greenpeace, and countless independent photojournalists. Evaluation units are available for companies wishing to try Pocket Phojo for themselves."
