Happy 4th of July!

The New Previews of NoteTaker, NoteShare and NoteShare Server Have Arrived.
Today we posted the preview versions of NoteTaker, NoteShare and NoteShare 2.5 on our updates page. All registered users are welcome to download and test them if you're running Mac OS X 10.5 or higher. The preview versions mark an important milestone in our development and architecture road map; they now share the same common core notebook and collaboration aware technology. To read more about the previews, you can download the What's New document. We have also made enhancements to our web notebook feature to take advantage of increased screen real estate of Apple's popular iPad. Additionally, web notebooks viewed from the iPad also support live embedded web page entries. And once we release the new versions, they'll be free to all registered users
Tags and Multiple Tags
The Preview versions also introduce support for tagging entries with multiple tags (formerly known as categories). Users asked for this feature and we're pleased to announce that you can now assign any number of tags to your entries. The Index section has its own Tags page as well so you can see a summary of all of your notebook information in one place that has been organized by tags
Integrated Social Search includes Twitter and YouTube
We've also added enhancements to our Web Research Agent scripts by including two new scripts; SearchTwitter and SearchYouTube. Open an existing or new notebook, then select one of the new scripts and type in a search string. The web agent will then search Twitter or YouTube and then automatically organize the search results in your notebook as separate pages with titles in a new section. It's a productive way to leverage both Twitter and YouTube for fun as well as for important research projects
What's Next?
We have a very busy development schedule including the introduction of NoteShare Express Desktop for Windows and Linux users that is coming in July. After that, we will be focusing on our mobile device solutions for Apple's platforms (iPhone, IPod Touch and iPad) as well as solutions for other mobile devices. And finally, we continue to work on the cloud version of NoteShare Server. It's currently in early testing but the results are very promising. Our cloud service is going to enable fast and easy notebook sharing while supporting multiple devices and browsers for access as well as editing.

AquaMinds Software + iPad = Absolutely!
As previously noted, we're building a cloud-based, notebook collaboration and sharing service. And along with NoteShare.net, we're working on client software that will run on many different mobile internet devices including the iPad no less. Our popular "web notebook" feature will be updated very soon to support iPad access and display control. And it should be no surprise to our NoteTaker and NoteShare users since web notebooks work great on iPhones and iPod Touch systems already.
Touch Simple
The beauty of the iPad is the elegant packaging of a highly interactive touch-based UI with a crisp, vibrant screen housed in a sleek yet wicked fast mobile device that runs on a single charge for nearly 12 hours. Impressive. From students to doctors to researchers to knowledge workers, we'll be delivering a productivity solution for the iPad that provides note-taking, organizing, information sharing, collaborative workflows and notebook management services. A digital place where you'll be able to think and work or play and dream with your ideas.
What's in my notebook today?
A very exciting checklist of new AquaMinds products and services for 2010 and beyond.

AquaMinds Software in 2010 - your notebooks in the cloud and accessible from your favorite internet devices
We're very excited about Apple's mobile computing solutions especially the new iPad. As previously announced, we are bringing our interactive notebook sharing and collaboration technology to the cloud as a service called NoteShare.net™. Whenever you need to take notes, clip some information or access your notebooks, it will be at your fingertips; literally. And it will look beautiful.
With NoteShare.net, you'll be able to work on your notebooks from your favorite mobile and computing devices without worrying about synchronization or device access or location. From home to office to cafe to campus to any location, seamless access to your notebooks. And you'll always have the option to work in groups if you need to share or collaborate on a project. And best of all, cloud notebooks will work with all of our client applications including popular web browsers running our NoteShare Express™ applet, Windows PCs running NoteShare Express Desktop™ and Mac users running NoteTaker™ or NoteShare™. And yes, cloud notebooks can be downloaded, saved and used for working offline.
We love the idea of the iPad and its touch-driven UI. The iPad will usher in a new era of collaborative work styles which we'll deliver to our iPad users as a media-rich, immersive
notebook with to do lists, outlines, notes, hyperlinks, clippings, video, voice annotation and more. The iPad and our cloud are going to be a very powerful productivity solution for all kinds and types of knowledge-driven scenarios especially within workgroups and enterprises.
We intend to be the leaders in mobile notebook document access. Not just accessing and viewing notebooks in the cloud but editing them synchronously and asynchronously. And NoteShare.net is for everyone, from individuals on the go to project teams to students to educators to professionals; your notebooks, anywhere, anytime.
NOTE: NoteShare.net is designed to work with Apple mobile and OS X devices, Windows PC systems, Android devices and Linux-based systems.

What's coming in 2010 - the NoteShare cloud with mobile and desktop client access
When we introduced notebook sharing and collaboration in 2006, we knew back then that notebook sharing would eventually become more transparent for users. Easier, faster and more flexible. That day is soon approaching as we have begun internal testing of our new NoteShare cloud technology for anytime, anywhere notebook access and sharing. Everything we're doing in 2010 will support seamless access to your notebooks from multiple devices including smart phones (iPhone), new tablet devices (iWantOne) and your current desktop or laptop systems (running OS X, Windows and Linux). And yes, not just access but real-time editing (and collaboration on-demand whenever you need or want it).
Next month we'll release more details on our testing schedule for new products and cloud-based services. Until then, it's back to work on the future of notebook sharing technology.
