Conduits Technologies, Inc. Releases Pocket Album 1.0 for Pocket PC.

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA, November 6, 2000 -- Conduits Technologies, Inc.
announced today the release of Pocket Album 1.0 for Pocket PC. Pocket 
Album is an interactive photo album application with easy-to-use 
interface and album management for the Windows-powered Pocket PC.

Pocket Album offers a variety of features and two modes of play – 
Album mode and SmartAlbum mode where each image can be centered or 
full-screen. Album mode allows the user to create a personal photo 
album with a collection of images currently on the device with the 
ability to choose the order of the images. Also included are 
decorative borders to frame and further personalize a picture adding 
dynamic designs to images for pets, parties, weddings and vacations. 

SmartAlbum mode will display and loop across all images the user has 
on the device. SmartAlbum is leveraged by PhotoSync technology, which 
continually pulls images from the desktop’s image repository and 
displays the pictures as they are “synced” down to the device, giving 
the user a intelligent picture frame of the entire image collection.

Pocket Album allows the user to optionally rotate and scale the images 
in real-time in order to guarantee perfect placement of the picture on 
the device screen. There are different rotating and scaling options 
for instances when the display is in full-screen mode of not, or if 
the device is connected to the desktop (where rotation is generally 
not needed) or in hand (where rotation is desired). 

Pocket Album also features the implementation of voice and ink notes 
to images. Voice notes gives the images a “talking picture” effect as 
made popular by greeting cards. Ink notes allow the user to make 
notations directly on an image. The ink notes feature parlays into 
the usage of PowerPoint presentations that have been exported to the 
device in a series of JPEGs. The user can easily set up a PowerPoint 
“album,” and have the collection of notes automatically pop up for 
each slide. Pocket Album employs 14 different fades that give 
complimentary visual feedback when transitioning between images.

Pocket Album  1.0 is available for $19.95 from http://www.conduits.com.  
More information, including a full list of features, downloadable 
border expansion packs, and screenshots, can be found at the Pocket 
Album website at http://www.conduits.com/ce/album/.

Conduits develops several commercial applications for Pocket PC,
including Peacemaker (a cross-platform infrared exchange 
utility), Pocket Artist (a drawing and image manipulation program
for Pocket PC) and Pocket Watch (an interactive world clock for
Pocket PC).  Conduits also hosts several open source efforts, 
such as Pocket Spark.
