PhatWare announce PhatNotes for Outlook Edition, the special version of the PhatNotes notes organizer. The new version allows the synchronization of multiple Outlook notes folders with the PhatNotes application on the mobile device.

PhatNotes 5, launched in September, no longer supports direct synchronization with Microsoft Outlook, and the company has received numerous requests from existing and new PhatNotes users to continue offering this feature. PhatNotes for Outlook edition has been created to answer these requests by allowing synchronization directly with Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later.

PhatNotes for Outlook includes the simplified version of PhatNotes for both Windows Mobile Standard (non-touch screen) and Professional/Classic (touch screen) devices. Because Microsoft Outlook does not support password protection and text formatting, these features were removed from PhatNotes for Outlook to provide more reliable synchronization. Further, the PhatNotes desktop software was replaced with Outlook notes synchronization software that supports ActiveSync 4.5 or later on Windows XP and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 on Windows Vista.
