SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - September 17, 2008) - iambic, Inc., a leading provider of
innovative productivity-enhancing software, today announced the
availability of Health & Diet Manager on the Palm OS platform. Now owners
of the popular Palm Centro smartphone and Palm OS-based Treo have access to
a convenient way to proactively manage their wellness and nutritional
needs. Designed for today's on-the-go lifestyle, Health & Diet Manager
provides essentials for making smarter meal and exercise choices, which is
helpful for those seeking to lose (or maintain) weight and gain more energy
which can be tapped throughout the day to get more done.
iambic has also announced the availability of a new, Windows Desktop
version of Health & Diet Manager, as well as an update to the Windows
Mobile Version (Pocket PC and Smartphone). To keep things simple, version
number 3.0 will be used across all editions.
Health professionals and personal trainers have been touting the importance
of writing down what you eat as a key factor in helping people consume
fewer calories. iambic's Health & Diet Manager enables the logging of meal
and exercise activities immediately, no matter where you are, using a
Centro, Treo or other Windows Mobile-based smartphone. This improves
accuracy and helps with overall awareness.
Health & Diet Manager can also be used to make better choices on what to
eat. Leveraging the built-in database, it is easy to see the nutritional
content of food items in a number of categories, and menu items from
eateries like Burger King, McDonald's, Subway and Starbucks. Plus, the
program's Exercise Activity logging feature can also be used to evaluate a
wide variety of activities to understand the impact on calories burned.
"We designed Health & Diet Manager to do a lot of the heavy lifting when it
comes to determining things like an individual's daily energy expenditure
and ultimately, the number of calories necessary to achieve stated diet
goals," said Adriano Chiaretta, chief operating officer of iambic, Inc.
"That means that anyone using it is freed up to focus on what's essential
-- making smarter choices about what they eat and types of exercise
activities they should consider. And because it worked so well for Windows
Mobile users, we felt compelled to make it accessible to others including
the millions of Centro owners."
