AquaMinds Weblog

As we approach the halfway point of this year, we want to tell you more about our technology and product plans for AquaMinds Software going forward.  Planning and active development of NoteTaker 2.0 are on schedule.  As Apple begins to move "Leopard" into developers' hands later this year, we'll have even more news about our NoteTaker development and release schedules.  As our flagship product, NoteTaker will continue to be updated and enhanced with new features and technologies based on Apple's future Leopard features as well.  And, as we've stated previously, NoteShare updates will include the latest NoteTaker features to maintain 100% notebook document file compatibility.

NoteShare is gaining a lot of momentum as customers discover the amazing power of instant notebook sharing,  anytime, anywhere.  We've also announced NoteShare Express,  an exciting new add-on technology that will be available as a free starter configuration to all registered NoteShare users later this year.  NoteShare Express is designed to provide instant access and viewing of shared notebooks on other platforms including Windows and Linux; it will easily run from the webtop as well as the desktop.  Even OS X users who don't use NoteShare will be able to tap into the power of shared notebooks through NoteShare Express.  NoteShare's growing user community includes schools, universities, research labs, small consulting teams, creative project groups (film/TV/music) and also individuals at home who need and want to access their notebooks while working from different machines.    The goal of our NoteShare Express technology is to make viewing of shared notebooks universally available on as many devices as possible.    Additionally, we are planning a NoteShare Express (editor edition) for end of the year release to bring interactive collaboration to Windows and Linux users as well.

So what is coming after NoteShare Express and NoteShare 1.0? 
NoteShare "Server" is the next technology effort in our product technology plan.  Users are telling us that they love notebook sharing and want to be able to leverage NoteShare all the time, 24x7.  To meet this need, we'll be releasing NoteShare Server (aka "SOHO") later this year as well.  It will allow NoteShare to conveniently run as a managed server-like application for non-stop use from a dedicated system.  NoteShare Server, in combination with NoteShare Express, will provide an increasingly flexible, powerful platform for sharing your notebooks anytime, anywhere on any platform, all the time.    Think of it as the power of your own personal information cloud where notebook sharing is everywhere you need it to be without giving up privacy or control.
