PhatWare Corp. announces today, the release of PhatNotes 5.0, the next generation of the company's award-winning notes organizer software for Microsoft Windows based desktop computers and Windows Mobile smartphones.

PhatNotes, a winner of Smartphone and Pocket PC magazine's Best Software Awards in the notes category for six consecutive years as well as other industry awards, is one of the most popular Pocket PC and Smartphone notetaking applications on the market. PhatNotes allows users to create notes and organize them by type, subject, creation, and modification date. The software provides powerful text search with regular expression support, document security, and email capabilities.

Unlike previous versions of PhatNotes, the new version will not include multiple editions of the software.
