Press Release Body = Westborough, MA (PRWEB) August 10, 2006 -- Mediabee announces version 2.2 of its flagship software, Mediabee Family Dashboard. The latest version of this delightfully easy-to-use software addresses all real-life everyday needs of family life for busy moms and small business owners - scheduling, weather & news, contacts, text messaging, recipes, and shopping.
Whether you want to get the latest weather forecast, make a quick note of a soccer schedule change, email your husband to pick up milk on the way back, get the latest weekly circular for your favorite grocery store, find grocery and restaurant coupons, or send a curfew reminder text message to your teenager, you can quickly and gracefully do it using very few keystrokes with Mediabee - without having to fire up separate applications or web pages.
As an all-in-one organizer, Mediabee also offers a wealth of other features. A built-in RSS reader brings the latest news from your favorite news sources (Yahoo is the default news source, but you can customize it). The same RSS reader also features a variety of news you can use about health, family management, homeland security, product recalls, and so on. It even brings you the latest entertainment news, movie trailers, games, podcasts and video casts.
It is a desktop application, so even if your Internet access is down, you\'ll still have access to your most crucial information. But when your Internet connection is on, it\'s also accessible through the web or phone. Unlike conventional software, it is delightfully easy to use, even for children as young as six.
Although billed as a family dashboard, its features are bound to be equally useful to small business owners - after all, many very small businesses are run like families, and many by women - the target audience Mediabee is trying to serve.
A review by user imSteve on download.com perhaps expresses Mediabee\'s functionality best: "This software saved my marriage. No kidding. Before Mediabee, we traded e-mails, phone calls and had the dreaded 1 hour weekly meeting ... It sapped a lot of our \"quality time.\" Now, I get updates of key events I\'m supposed to be involved in via e-mail, can integrate them into my Outlook calendar at work ...The software is simple to use, shows each of our kids activities in different colors and automates lots of other features my wife was doing manually by scribbling on her paper calendar. She\'s happy, I\'m happy and its real easy to get going and use. Love it. Thanks!"
The latest version, in addition to being faster, better-looking, and more robust, introduces a variety of new features that make it easier and quicker to get to the vast majority of daily household and local information. You can download it for free from http://mediabee.com.
