SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - September 30, 2008) - iambic, Inc., a leading provider of innovative
productivity-enhancing software, today announced the availability of
Agendus, its award-winning Personal Information Manager for the BlackBerry
platform. Now, users of popular smartphone devices by Research in Motion
(RIM) have access to a fully integrated solution for managing calendar,
contact and task information that is easy to deploy, intuitive to use, and
gets more done with fewer button taps.
A compelling attribute of Agendus for BlackBerry is its ability to work
directly with the BlackBerry's native data storage out of the box, which
means instant and seamless accessibility to PIM information no matter where
it comes from (i.e. Exchange Server, Outlook, Google, etc.). Also, Agendus
smartly adapts itself to the established colors and themes in use by the
BlackBerry for a truly seamless experience.
"There are a variety of parallels between what Research in Motion has set
out to do with the BlackBerry and what we've done from the start with our
productivity enhancing solutions," said Adriano Chiaretta, chief operating
officer of iambic, Inc. "This is a huge milestone for iambic and we look
forward to playing a significant role in helping BlackBerry users
experience the thrill of getting more accomplished in a way that is
intuitive, efficient and fun. That's the Agendus Way!"
One of the features that made Agendus popular on the Palm OS and Windows
Mobile platforms is the flexibility it offers users in how information is
displayed. The BlackBerry version of Agendus includes an at-a-glance view
of the day ahead that shows meetings, tasks, recent messages and calls, and
over-the-air (OTA) information such as Weather and Quote of the Day. There
are also views for one day, a week (list and grid mode), a month
(expanded), as well as views for tasks and contact information (list and
expanded).
Transferring information between the desktop PIM solution and Agendus for
BlackBerry is easily accomplished via the synchronization set-up currently
in use. Furthermore, the BlackBerry version of Agendus works seamlessly
with the Agendus for Windows Outlook add-on, which enhances how the
calendar, contacts, tasks and memos are viewed (and used) on a desktop
computer.
Pricing and Availability:
Version 1.0 of Agendus for BlackBerry can be downloaded and purchased from
www.iambic.com for $19.95. When purchased at the same time as the Windows
desktop version of Agendus, the price is $39.95 (a $20 savings).
