WorldFAQ Lite Included in Palm III Connected Organizer Bonus Pack CD-ROM
SAN FRANCISCO — March 9, 1998 — Creative Digital Publishing Inc. today announced that WorldFAQ Lite has been selected for inclusion in the Macmillan Software Bonus Pack included with every English and International English Palm III connected organizer. WorldFAQ (World Frequently Asked Questions, pronounced world-fack) Lite is a sophisticated world clock and reference database. It includes daylight savings times, latitudes, longitudes, populations, telephone codes, airport information, and more for over 425 locations around the world. "When Macmillan requested a world clock program for the Bonus Pack, we created a Lite version of our popular WorldFAQ program for PalmPilot organizers" said Steve Mann, President of Creative Digital Publishing Inc. "It has all the data contained in WorldFAQ, minus currency exchange rates, for a subset of WorldFAQ's 700+ locations.
There is no other product available for Palm Computing platform devices that provides users with as much useful global information." "With WorldFAQ Lite, mobile professionals can quickly access important travel information," said Mark Bercow, vice president of strategic alliances and platform development at Palm Computing, Inc., a 3Com company. WorldFAQ Lite runs on all PalmPilot and Palm III organizers. It is available for $ 19.95, delivered electronically, or $ 24.95 on floppy disk. It can be ordered directly from Creative Digital via their web site (www.cdpubs.com), or by phone (415/621-4252) or fax (415/621-4922).
