Park City, Utah - July 10, 2006 -- Chronos LC today announced the release of SOHO Organizer 5.5, a MAJOR update to its personal and business productivity suite. SOHO Organizer is designed for both individual and workgroup use and the latest update represents an important step forward in the complete rewrite of the former Personal and Group Organizer products that it replaces. SOHO Organizer 5.5 is a free update for registered SOHO Organizer 5.x users.

MAJOR NEW FEATURES

• Contact and calendar management in a single application. The previous version of SOHO Organizer featured two separate applications for contact and calendar management: SOHO Contacts and SOHO Calendars. These two applications have now been combined into a single sleek application called SOHO Organizer. This new integrated application means no more switching between two applications as well as even tighter contact and calendar integration.
• Day view. The new Day view shows events and tasks for a single day at a time in a new streamlined interface.
• Journal view. Keeping a daily journal or diary is easier than ever with the new Journal view which is always just a click away. Plus, journal entries automatically show up SOHO Notes so your entries are always available from either application.
• Daily notes. The Day view contains a Daily Notes region where users can quickly enter notes they want to associate with the current day. This popular feature is a carry-over from the former Personal and Group Organizer products.
• Personal/Group Organizer converter application. This new converter application makes it easy to move contact, calendar, daily note, journal, and memo data from the former Personal and Group Organizer products to the new SOHO Organizer.

100+ ENHANCEMENTS, OPTIMIZATIONS, FIXES

SOHO Organizer 5.5 also includes 100+ enhancements, optimizations and bug fixes:

• Support for hierarchical groups has been added to the Contact Card and Contact List views
• Pop-up calendars in the Event and Task windows make it easier to enter dates
• Holding down the Option key reveals the groups a selected contact belongs to
• SOHO Notes gains DockNote, journaling, full-screen editing, labels & flags, blogging, and audio recording
• Synchronization fixes and improvements
• Much, much, more...

THE OFFICIAL SUCCESSOR

SOHO Organizer is the official successor to Personal Organizer and Group Organizer and represents a 100% Cocoa rewrite of the former products. This means SOHO Organizer presents a first-class Mac OS X experience complete with all the features Mac OS X users expect: Aqua interface, Unicode compliance, built-in spell checking, Service support, etc. Finally, the true benefit of a complete Cocoa rewrite is that SOHO Organizer is built for the future and can easily accommodate future technologies.

SOHO Organizer makes managing customer relationships from phone calls and notes to appointments and to-dos easy. It embraces and leverages popular Mac OS X technologies and applications instead of trying to replace them. For example, it synchronizes seamlessly with Address Book and iCal so that users can continue to use them and other applications that rely on their data. Users can thus use Apple's iSync to synchronize contacts and calendars in SOHO Organizer to cell phones, iPods, Palm handhelds, and even .Mac.
