Conduits Technologies, Inc. Releases Timekeeper 1.0 for Pocket PC.
TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA, May 9, 2001 -- Conduits Technologies, Inc.
announced today the release of Timekeeper 1.0 for Pocket PC. Timekeeper
is a customizable high-resolution stopwatch.
Timekeeper offers a myriad of features and four modes of use - Count
down/stop, Count down/repeat, Count down/up, and Count up. Every mode
allows the user to implement a customized skin to complement the
activity at hand, and add up to 32 independent timers. Also included
are decorative skins to further personalize a timer, adding dynamic
designs to activities as common as running a lap, boiling an egg,
clocking a chess match, or timing a race.
Each timer will display all functions necessary to customizing a timer -
such as indicating the exact amount of time to measure, preset times for
ease-of-use, and on/off to stop or start a timer. Also available are
functions to start, stop or reset all timers simultaneously. When a
timer concludes, Timekeeper will alert the user with a flashing display
and audible alert, and turning on the device if necessary. All sounds
are configurable by the user.
When timers are ascending, laps may be marked and counted, with the
ability to export into Pocket Word or Pocket Excel. Various skins
display the current lap information of each timer. Timekeeper can even
bind to hardware buttons to trigger start, stop or lap functions.
Timekeeper supports and is bundled with user-configurable "Activities."
Activities are ways to organize groups of settings where the user can
specify the skin, timer modes, and preset times. For instance, choosing
the "Cook Breakfast" activity will load the kitchen-themed skin, set all
the timers for Count Down mode and several cooking times (for Eggs,
Bacon, etc.), and also populate the Preset Time display with other
cooking times.
Timers can also function as mutually exclusive "pairs" - starting one
timer will stop the adjacent timer. This method is useful with the
included Chess skin, when users are clocking a chess match.
Timekeeper 1.0 is available for $9.95 from http://www.conduits.com.
More information, including a full list of features, downloadable skins,
and screenshots, can be found at the Timekeeper website at

Conduits develops many commercial applications for Pocket PC, including
Pocket Artist (a drawing and image manipulation program for Pocket PC)
and Pocket Album (an interactive photo album for Pocket PC). Conduits
also hosts several open source efforts, such as Pocket Spark.
