Upcoming new iambic product for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone Edition

[adriano]

Hi,

as some of you might have read here (http://www.iambic.com/twopeaks/), we have recently acquired a number of great titles, and we are currently having fun checking their functionality, making sure they support the latest Windows Mobile powered pocket pcs and smartphones, and pluggin-in our licensing system.

This process will take some time, but things are moving forward. Within the next few weeks we'll start releasing them on iambic.com.

If you wish to be kept in the loop and be notified as soon as we release a title, please subscribe to this thread (http://support.iambic.com/forum/subscription.php?do=addsubscription&t=25351) (you might have to signup for an account (http://support.iambic.com/forum/register.php) in these forums if you don't already have one).

Every new title that gets released we'll post a blurb about it on this thread and you'll receive an email notification about it.

Feedback, questions, and suggestions are as always welcome. Feel free to open up new thread in this subforum.

Thanks!

[tharre]

Please advise when Two Peaks and Trip Tracker are released.

I also would like to have information about reactivating my version of Bill Rate.

Thanks

[bobholthaus]

I need an unlock code for the Personal Vehicle Manager program for my Q. Thanks.

[tntferguson]

I want to be notified when Trip Tracker becomes available, especially if it is upgraded to be WM5 compatible. Two Peaks had promised that the upgrade would be done by Jan 06 but never came through

[pflevy]

TripTracker is an extremely useful program. Please let me know when the new version is available. Thanks.

[liposan]

Please Email me when this product is Released. Both the windows mobile version and the desk top version.

[buggs2001]

My computer crashed and I had to reload the Personal Vehicle Manager, but now it is asking me for the serial number (it stopped working). I use this program to track all my daily gas, maintance and mileage transactions on all my vehicles. I bought this product just 4 months ago, and I need the be reissued the serial/license number. The last two weeks I been frustrated with attempting to get support for this issue, I wish the last company had thought of its clients in a more favorable way, hope this company is willing to improve on it.

Please let me know the process to get my license reissued to me.

Thanks
Alex

[paulfanner]

I am very pleased to hear that you are in the process of updating all the Two Peaks products. In my opinion, TripTracker was the best travel management software in the market due to it's integration with outlook and correct handling of timezones. However the current version is not compatible with WM5 and I am therefore now unable to use it. I sincerely hope that you will launch a WM5 compatible version of this program in the near future! (We were promised this by Two Peaks a long time ago, but it never materialized). If you are looking for beta testers to assist with this development I would be happy to help!

Paul

[fkerr001]

I am interested in TripTracker for WM5. Please advise when it is released. Thanks for the help.

[ipaq-user-chris]

I have used PVM for several years and found it very useful. I need a version which will work on Windows Mobile 5 on my new iPAQ 2490. Please let me know as soon as it is available.

Thanks

[tstaiano]

Please let me know when this title is available. I was using the trial version, and it expired right after the acquisition was announced. Now I can't buy the title OR continue to use the program.

Please advise me when the Two Peaks BillRate for PC software becomes available.

Me too. Having some support and changes would be fantastic since Two Peaks basically abandoned us all years/months ago.

I would like to be notified when new version of PVM is released for pocket PC.

Hi,

The obselete files for Two Peaks can't be downloaded in the new IE7 no matter what 'security' level I set. Is there some trick I don't know about?

Thanks,

Brenda

[PPCPassion]

As you said, since these files available for download are obsolete and are only trial copies, why don't you try downloading trial vesions from Handango or pocket gear's website? They have the same copies.
Good Luck. BTW, I did not have any problem downloading from iambic's site.
Good luck.

Hi All,

quick blurb here to let everyone subscribed to this thread that we released TravelTalk.

http://support.iambic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25871

If you have questions related to other products, download problems, etc. please open up a new thread rather than following-up here.

This thread's primary purpose is for product release notifications until all the former Two Peaks products, properly improved and enhanced, are all released.

Please let me know when personal diet manager is ready.

I'm interested in BillRate.

I see it in www.ipaqchoice.com, but actually I think it's useless to buy the old one without any guarantee of upgrading, isn't it ?

I'm also interested for Italian translated version, let me know if I can do somthing about it: i'm an italian developer in "desktop" edition financial/billing software.

thx ;-)

I am interested in TripTracker for WM5. Please let me know when this is ready.

Trial period ended. What I can do ?
HI,

They seem to have their own much more expensive Time Program. I doubt, since there has been NO reply or comments on Billrate on this thread, that they are going to pick Billrate up. It's probably more like buying and then killing the competition - or so I suspect. I have no idea what you can do but try actually emailing them requesting to purchase Billrate and then see what they say. It works ok 'as is' but needs just a few tweaks to really be great.

Brenda

[brenda]

Will all current registered users of ver 1.0 get the upgrade details? I have sill yet to receive any information on the new 1.1 version

Could you let all the users of Billrate know please what its fate is? It appears you have a competing product - way more expensive. Billrate is a great little program for mini-businesses. Are you going to keep selling/supporting or developing it?

Thanks,

Brenda

[sbakermm]

Please let me know when PVM is available. I have lost my serial number and my demo version of the windows version has time lapsed.

Thanks

[adriano]

Hi,

both billrate and PVM will be re-released, with WM5 support. The next in the pipeline is Loan Analyzer, which will be then followed by PVM.

- Adriano

Ah - so it sounds like it's a ways off yet. Thanks for the information. Hopefully billrate will still work on WM3. Some of us haven't taken the leap to WM5 because of some ermm 'issues'. Quite honestly I don't know what PVM is! I do hope you retain the simplicity of Billrate and solve the slowwwwwwww behaviour and refresh rate if one has has more than 20 project/clients going. A lot of us had asked for that 'fix' on the old forum boards (before they were abruptly withdrawn) as well as some tweaks in inputting costs, etc. I'm sure glad that billrate still lives!! There's a bunch of us just waiting for it.

And by the way.. I take it that Loan Analyzer will be US based. Canadians have different amortization bank laws and so forth. Any chance your program will take into account such regional differences?

Thanks for listening.....

Is there any way to give us a projected schedule for updates/upgrades of the TwoPeaks products? I've loved using many of their products for years, and having just upgraded my PDA, would like versions that work 100% with WM5.

[Rick T]

Please Email me when this product is Released. I am using Windows Mobile vers 3
Thanks Rick T

[Phil42Schwartz]

I really like using Trip Tracker and just upgraded to WM5 and can not use it. Please advise when Trip Tracker is released on WM5.

Thanks

[adriano]

Hi All,

thank you for your patience. We are down to the following products to re-release and update:

- Vehicle Manager
- Diet & Health Manager
- Trip Tracker
- Bill Rate
- Perfect Home

as with the other titles already released, as soon as the new version is out I'll put a blurb in this thread, and all previous version customers will receive a message with download and new license from us within days from the release.

Regards,

- Adriano

[mortimer]

Hello everyone!

Please give me a shout when the following two products are re-released: Vehicle Manager & Diet & Health Manager

Thanks!

[schuess]

I too was an avid Trip Tracker user until upgrading to WM5. I await your re-release with great anticipation. Please inform me as well when it is out. Thanks.

[Pepper1]

Please advise when the following are upgraded to work with Windows Mobile 5. I have active licenses for all of them and want to put them to work:

Vehicle Manager
Health & Diet Manager
Trip Tracker
Perfect Home

Hi All,

Vehicle Manager version 3.3 is now available -- all the former Two Peaks customers can expect to receive new license code and download info within the next 24 hours.

- Adriano

[dryheatwriter]

Quick question before I go willy-nilly installing.

I had both the PVM Desktop and PPC versions.

Will the new install packages automatically upgrade my current installs or do I need to uninstall/reinstall? In other words, with the new company name attached, will it recognize the older version on my systems currently and upgrade automatically?

I also recall when the last PVM came out we had to do some funky things to our data files to migrate them - any such requirements this time? Also, your instructions show that we should create a new file, but couldn't I just point the new install to my existing dat, or do i have to import or something?

Hi,

I had bought theprev version of Veh Mgr from Two peaks, when can I expect the new code & link? My email address: gr8man001@yahoo.com
I can provide old reg code if needed.
Thanks.

[adriano]

dryheatwriter -- I would suggest to uninstall the previous versions to start off cleanly. Just make sure that on the desktop you place your .dat file in a safe place. Then when the new version starts, point it to the same .dat file. No special upgrade process required, format is the same.

PPCPassion -- couldn't find the email address above within our records, please submit a ticket to customer support with first name, last name, other email addresses you might have used to purchase the product(s) and mention this thread. They'll take care of you.

Regards,

- Adriano

[PPCPassion]

hmmmm, I tried all the options in your customer support link. It has links to retrieve lost password etcc etcc but no option to send an email or open a new ticket.:confused:

[sbakermm]

I have been using the PPC version of Twin Peaks PVM 2005 successfully, but lost some data, so decided to purchase the new desktop version as well.

I bought both versions yesterday, but the new PPC version will not work with windows mobile 2003 2nd edition. When reinstalling pvm 2005, it runs, but will not sync with the new desktop version. I could try the old desktop demo version but do not have a registration key for it.

Simon

[adriano]

PPCPassion -> please visit http://support.iambic.com and look in the middle of the page, there is an area titled "knowledge base" with a notepad icon next to it. Third link is submit a ticket.

For everyone else having problems or questions, please open a separate thread, this one was intended as an release availability announcement thread.

Chris,

free upgrade emails coming your way -- found and updated your account. You might want to take off the email addresses above cause bots picking up addresses for spamming purposes just love these kind of posts.

[MShoer]

Will you be releasing an updated TripTracker? If so, when and will there be beta opportunities. I used this app all the time and have a new Vista PC and would really like to be able to use it again. Thank you.

[adriano]

Hi,

yes, we are in the process of starting upgrading it. The next one in the pipeline is Health & Diet Manager, and will likely be followed by TripTracker.

[MShoer]

Thanks Adriano. Any idea of time frame? Just curious (and anxious :)).

[brianchris]

In case anyone at Iambic is keeping track, my two votes for Two Peaks software they should upgrade sooner rather than later is #1 Trip Tracker (please) and #2 BillRate. The old BillRate actually works on my WM5 PDA, so it not as big of a concern as Trip tracker, which doesn't work at all.

There was, and still is, nothing on the market like Trip Tracker. Perhaps Iambic and other companies feel that Worldmate Professional dominates, so why bother / rush development on Trip Tracker? Well, I can tell you, I paid for the annual subscription of Worldmate Professional and was SEVERLEY disapointed......it was far worse than Trip tracker was! Specifically, Worldmate can't sort itinerraries by depature date (simple and natural functionality, that their tech support confirmed it couldn't do)...Trip Tracker could do this. Worldmate kept adding flights to my Outlook calendar even though I didn't want that, with no way to turn it off.....Trip Tracker allowed you to turn Outlook syncronization on or off. Worldmate displayed hotels in the Itinerary by street address instead of city with no adjustment allowed....Trip Tracker displayed them correctly. And there were many other issues I won't bore you with.

Basically, Worldmate was pretty pathetic for as much as they want to charge for it ($79 per year), especially when you considered the extent of their tech support was confirming these inadequcies existed, and nothing else!......I will NOT be renewing. worldmate seemed like bloatware......a jack of all trades but master of none. I need reliable, efficient, and elegant itinerary manager that syncs between my desktop and WM5 PPC, and Trip Tracker was EXACTLY that until development was halted and WM5 came along :cry:

Anyway, since Worldmate is useless, there has been nothing else availible for some time now......please consider bumping Trip tracker up on your priority list! I'll be watching for it. Thanks!

[schuess]

I would like to second BrianChris's request to move Trip Tracker to the top of the priority list. I have been eagerly waiting for the upgrade for the same reasons. I loaded the trial version of Worldmate just to get some kind of itinerary manager on my PDA while I await the TT upgrade. PLEASE release it ASAP!

[pflevy]

I completely agree with brianchris. TripTracker is the most important program to me and I can't understand what's taking so long to update it. Please reconsider your priorities. I'll be waiting.

[wdement]

I would like to be notified when the upgrade for personal health and diet is upgraded. I have a licenced version.

[adriano]

Hi All,

sorry about these delays in getting out updated versions of your titles. We are working as fast as possible in bringing them up to WM5 compatibility and ensure also compatibility with the WM6 to save you from running into troubles when the new WM6 powered devices start getting out in the market.

- Adriano

[jrdavi1]

I'm in the same boat. I've come to rely on Trip Tracker and was forced to get a new Ipac that has WM5. Please include me on an update when it becomes available.

Thanks

I really like using Trip Tracker and just upgraded to WM5 and can not use it. Please advise when Trip Tracker is released on WM5.

Thanks

[knevill]

Is The Priority Provided A Title Dependent On Its Current Client Base? If Not What?

[paulfanner]

I would like to add my support to all the others in this thread asking you to prioritize the release of a WM5 compatible version of TripTracker.

This really is a unique product, far ahead to WorldMate Pro, which I have been forced to use since I moved to WM5. As well as the above comments, in my opinion, one of the key advantages to TripTracker over the competition is that it correctly handles world times and inserts entries into the Outlook diary in the correct local time so that when you arrive at your destination and change the location to the local location, all diary entries have the correct times. WorldMate Pro is unable to do this and I'm very frustrated with it. It is also a very bloated application that requires a large amount of memory to run.

I therefore dearly want to switch back to using TripTracker and I'm happy to beta test this application.

Paul

[radman]

Just like the rest of the users above, I would be ready and willing to beta any release you are willing to put out there.

I recently switched from a Treo 650 (palm os) to a Cingular 8125 (WM5) and can't use my old travel tool (TravelTracker from Silverware). I have looked around and this looks to be the best /closest/if not better version of that tool.

Please let us know when something will be avilable!

Cash-in-hand, willing to spend :-)

[reslaw]

Hello to everyone. I'm new on this forum but have been using Agendus for Palm for years, and I miss it bitterly. I emailed support and they told me Iambic is working on a Windows Mobile for Smartphones version of Agendus. If that's true, I would be extremely interested in participating in the beta-testing phase.

Could you me please tell if that's possible and how can I apply? Thanks a lot.

I personally would love to see an update to BillRate. I have been using it for a year or two now on a daily basis. I just now have ran into problems with it. Speculating it is from keeping all that history in it.

[Marie Lucie]

I fully agree with brianchris. Please put the priority #1 to Trip Tracker. He is right : there is no other software like Trip Tracker for WM5. I need it urgently as I travel a lot. Coming from Palm and had no choice when my company gave me a WM5 pocket. Thank you !
Also, why don't you give us a estimation of release date ? It would be nice to inform us

[mdurao]

Please advise me when an update is available for Personal Vehicle Manager. I use it to track expenses on all my vehicles.
Thanks

[jrdavi1]

Come on - if you don't have a plan, just let us know. Trip Tracker has been on the back burner for too long.

[Zano2004]

A small bit of advice.......... everyone is waiting and waiting for many, many applications. It was this way before all these new applications. More applications is most likely going to mean a looooooooooooooong wait.

[adriano]

Unfortunately I'm forced to close this thread since it went off track quite a few times already and now is just becoming a flame magnet.

If you have specific questions as of when a certain app is going to be released please open up a new thread in the related forum. As far as the former TwoPeaks titles, we are down to BillRate, TripTracker and Perfect Home.

All these are in the pipeline and will be released (likely along with improvements and possibly a smartphone edition counterpart) within the next couple of months.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

- Adriano
