PhatWare Note-taking, Collaboration App Now Available for Android

Android users can take notes and share their work with others, thanks to a new note-taking and collaboration app from PhatWare.

PhatPad for Android enables users to draw pictures, insert images, and create notes—by hand, typed, or voice—on their smartphone or tablet, then share their documents with others through e-mail, Dropbox, PDF, or Wi-Fi. The app's handwriting technology converts handwritten notes into digital text and objects into shapes. Voice notes can be recorded then played back and used in presentation mode.

Android users can share work with PhatPad for iPad users. The app is also compatible with PhatPad for Windows files (.pmi) so users can open legacy files.

Users can test drive the app for 24 hours or purchase it for $4.99 from Google Market Store. For more information, visit PhatWare's Web site..
