Summer Roadmap

I just wanted to give you a heads up on what we are doing with our summer!  The big push is connectivity, and the main impetus has been the release of the iPad.  We are currently about half way through the code for a new iPad app that will contain the ‘best’ features of SmartTime, SmartNotes, SmartLists and SmartPlans. It will include these features from each:

SmartTime

• Full Day, Week and Month calendars in both landscape and portrait views.
• Combine Tasks with Events in the same view

SmartNotes

• Take notes directly from any point in the app – from an appointment, from a task, or from a special notes page.
• To some very interesting things with those notes – you’ll see more later!

SmartLists

• Day Manager lets you change your working hours on the fly, and see how that affects how much you can get done today.
• Day Manager looks at Calendar appointments, not just Tasks.

SmartPlans

• Timer can track the time of anything that you do, and send out reports for billing purposes, or just to help you manage your time.

There are a lot more features than these – this is just a short list. Also, our plan is to synchronize the data seamlessly between those four iPhone apps, and the one iPad app.  Data Sharing may not be available in the first release, but it is definitely on our road map and we hope to have a beta ready before School starts.  If you are interested, drop us a line and we may include you in our beta testing program.

We are also working on individual iOS4 releases of the above-mentioned iPhone apps.  SmartTime and SmartNotes will feature multi-tasking and Local Notifications (that’s Apple jargon for pop-up alerts without having to rely upon their server).  We will also feature direct sync with the iPhone Calendar in a subsequent release.
