"Overall, the improvements and additions in PhatPad 3.0 make it an outstanding application. For those who are already PhatPad owners, this upgrade will add a lot of new functionality and improvements. For new owners, this is the version to get as it is hard to see how PhatWare can improve this application."
From PhatPad review by Clinton Fitch of Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com!

PhatPad 3.0 is an advanced notes organizer for Microsoft Windows Powered Tablet, Desktop and Pocket PCs. It allows you to draw pictures, jot text notes, or put a mixture of pictures and typed text on a virtual scratch pad. The program uses new digital ink technology, which provides a very smooth ink flow, so it feels like you’re writing on a piece of paper. While working with the note editor, PhatPad offers standard editing commands, such as Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste; 25%-200% zoom and special Fit to Screen mode; Draw, Select, Erase, and Change modes; customizable pen palette; variable pen width; customizable toolbars; variable page size; and page preview mode. You can export your notes and drawings as bitmap, JPEG or PNG images, email them as file attachments, and transfer them between Pocket PCs via infrared.

In addition, PhatPad allows you to store up to 1,000 handwritten pages per single file and add an optional text note and a background image. You can use the Pocket PC navigation button to browse multi-page documents and zoom in/out, or to scroll the current page depending upon your preferences. PhatPad also supports reminders and includes a basic shape recognition engine that allows you to draw smooth geometrical shapes, such as rectangles, circles, triangles and straight lines.

The new version now allows users to move the selected strokes around the page; change stroke's color and/or width; resize selected strokes; load background images; change page order; add voice notes; create dynamic drawings using the animation mode; view, edit, and print PhatPad documents on the Desktop or Tablet PC.
