MILFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 2003
DataViz(R), makers of the #1 selling Palm OS office suite, Documents To Go(R), announced today that its new software Dose-A-Day(TM) is now shipping and will be available in stores in late October. Dose-A-Day is a line of daily calendars for PDAs that provide a daily diversion for today's stressed and harried workers. There are two titles currently shipping:
-- Dose-A-Day Dilbert Dilbert, the United Feature Syndicate comic
strip, is the most photocopied, pinned-up, downloaded, faxed
and e-mailed comic strip in the world. Many readers,
particularly those employed at large corporations, are
convinced that creator Scott Adams works at their companies
since he conveys corporate inanities so perfectly in his comic
strip. Dilbert appears in 2,000 papers in 65 countries and 19
languages, and on the Web at www.dilbert.com. More than 10
million Dilbert books have been sold to date, and many of
Adams' books have made The New York Times best-seller list.
Now PDA users have the opportunity to get their daily dose of
Dilbert delivered to their handhelds automatically each day.
-- Dose-A-Day Golf by Gary McCord A 17-year golf commentator for
CBS Sports, a 25-year PGA Tour veteran and Champions Tour
multiple champion, Gary McCord is a golf celebrity of many
talents. Even non-golfers recognize him for his role as
himself in the movie Tin Cup, starring Kevin Costner. Aside
from his well-known wit and humor, many may not know of his
teaching abilities. He instructs and consults more than 20
Tour players and co-founded a golf Learning Center in Arizona.
He authored the best-selling instructional manual Golf for
Dummies and has delighted fans with his autobiographical
collection Just a Range Ball in a Box of Titleists. It is the
unbeatable combination of his experiences, knowledge, golfing
ability and unique delivery of information that has been
captured in Dose-A-Day.
Unlike traditional paper tear-off calendars, Dose-A-Day provides 365 days of entertainment from the date of installation on the handheld. Customers are guaranteed a full year of Dose-A-Day whether they purchase in January, June or December. So while Dose-A-Day is perfect for the holidays, it also makes a great gift for Father's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays and graduations. After a quick and easy installation, the customers automatically receive a new comic, golf tip, or joke on the handheld each day. No wireless connection or subscription is necessary.
Pricing and Availability
Dose-A-Day Dilbert and Dose-A-Day Golf by Gary McCord are available immediately from www.dataviz.com for the suggested retail price of $19.95. Dose-A-Day will also be available at retailers such as Amazon.com, Handango.com and CompUSA this fall. Dose-A-Day is compatible with Palm OS and Pocket PC handhelds.
