For Immediate Release (Palo Alto, CA - Monday, January 30, 2006) - AquaMinds Software Corporation announced today that its OS X software products are now Universal applications. NoteTaker 1.9.10 shipped last Friday as a Universal application and requires OS X 10.3.9 or higher. Both NoteTaker and Viewer for NoteTaker now run on PPC and Intel processors. Registered users of NoteTaker can download this latest update from AquaMinds' site at no additional charge.

AquaMinds' Scott Love comments about their new Universal applications
"Like many other developers, we had expected to see Apple's first Intel-based hardware by mid-year as they had previously stated. However, we invested last year in the development effort since we have multiple projects underway that will also appear on OS X in 2006. Our product team did a fantastic job of transitioning our development environment and tools to support the Universal approach," said Scott Love, President of AquaMinds Software. "As a result of our team's hard work and Apple's superior tools, we were able to ship sooner than even we had forecasted. It's amazing to see NoteTaker running on the new hardware. We're especially pleased with the performance of Apple's new hardware when compiling projects."

About NoteTaker for OS X
NoteTaker for OS X is personal productivity software designed for daily use. NoteTaker allows users to quickly and easily take notes, manage project plans, browse and search the Internet, create simple full screen slide presentations, drag or clip information from other applications (or use NoteTaker Services), index and search notebooks, publish and share information (Web Notebooks), add voice memos, and, best of all, customize it to fit any digital lifestyle, any information work-style.

For some tasks, generating a long document is not required and yet there is still a need to capture information, organize and process it. Making an outline or creating a list are both examples of tasks that don't necessarily require a word processor and yet the idea of electronic paper for jotting down notes is useful and convenient. Even the capture, retrieval, and organization of random information throughout the day is another example of the need NoteTaker fills.

NoteTaker is an ideal tool for working with unstructured, on-the-fly information you create, organize or gather daily. Using it can be as simple as making lists or as complex as organizing a notebook full of personal notes and pages of information. As NoteTaker's visual metaphor of an electronic spiral notebook with section tabs suggests, there is always the need to find and to retrieve information at anytime without the complexity or the overhead of a database system. Thus, NoteTaker automatically and transparently works behind the scenes to index and categorize notebooks full of information. If it's in NoteTaker, it can be searched and retrieved anytime.

About NoteShare™ for OS X NoteShare is a powerful desktop application for creating, publishing and sharing media rich, multi-page notebooks. Users can instantly share their notebooks with other NoteShare users for presenting, viewing and editing information. NoteShare can be used in the same room, same building and same planet for connecting anytime, anywhere.

NoteShare is an ideal social computing platform for sharing and collaboration. It's a powerful tool for users who already work on team projects or have a need to share notebook information with one or more users in a small group. NoteShare allows users to work on the same shared, interactive notebook from the same room, same building or even remotely from another location via the Internet or a network gateway. NoteShare also allows home or small office users the ability to work from a single notebook remotely while away or in a different location than from where the notebook is being shared. Presenting, viewing and editing a shared notebook can be done on-demand as needed. Any NoteShare user can view other shared notebooks as well as share their own notebooks. http://www.aquaminds.com/noteShareFAQ.jsp
