BizBeam - Beaming Made Easy
Posted by Jason Dunn in "SOFTWARE" @ 07:00 AM
"Ever wanted to beam your business card to someone, but didn't because it was too cumbersome? Think about all the steps needed to beam a contact from your Pocket PC:
Tap Start > Contacts, then scroll up and down your list of dozens of contacts until you find the one you wish to beam. Tap and hold it, then aim correctly at the target device, select the right item from the popup menu and so on. Now imagine you wanted to beam another contact card, maybe someone from your marketing or business development team. Once again, you're fumbling, squinting, scrolling, and tapping to find that one card. How tedious! You would much rather just hand over a traditional paper business card, thus defeating one of the great purposes of having an expensive digital device like a Pocket PC.
Until now that is! Introducing BizBeam, the fastest and easiest way to beam pre-selected business cards without any fumbling or tapping around. Beam contacts right from your Today screen. You don't even need to pull out the stylus - just use your thumb to quickly beam a primary and secondary business card any time you want.
BizBeam also allows you to pre-select a document or file you may wish to beam - a photo, a map, a spreadsheet, directions, memos, sound recordings, an mp3 - whatever! Keep it handy, and when you find someone who needs it, one tap and it's beamed! BizBeam is that tiny essential utility you don't want to be stuck without - at your next convention, meeting, beam-fest, social gathering, around the office or in public!"
