DataViz Announces PDA Playground for Palm OS Handhelds
MILFORD, Conn. — July 17, 2003 — Today DataViz(R), Inc. announced PDA Playground(TM), new software for Palm OS(R) handhelds. PDA Playground creates a child-friendly playground on the handheld, turning the PDA into an entertaining and educational tool for children ages 3-7. It comes preloaded with six classic childhood games. In addition, the PDA Playground launcher prevents children from accessing the rest of the handheld by requiring a password to exit. This feature ensures that children can play independently and parents do not need to worry about losing any of their personal data.
"This software is perfect for restaurants, car trips, and doctors' offices – or any time that a parent is caught unprepared for a wait," said Kathleen McAneany, DataViz, Inc. "My kids have always wanted to play with my PDA, but I never had any appropriate games for them, and I worried about putting my personal data at risk. I love the convenience and safety of PDA Playground and my kids love the fun!"
PDA Playground includes the following six games: Draw, Paint, Match, FollowMe, PuzzlePath, and ScratchOff. Parents can also customize PDA Playground by adding other applications such as the calculator or Note Pad to the PDA Playground launcher.
System Requirements PDA Playground requires a handheld with Palm OS 3.5 or higher. The software works with both Windows and Macintosh computers.
Pricing and Availability The software sells for $19.95 and is available immediately from DataViz. The software will also be available from online resellers PalmGear and Handango.
