New Software Brings Mobile Task and Collaborative Project Management to the RIM BlackBerry

(PRWEB) October 25, 2007 -- Brain Murmurs, Inc, a Seattle-based software research and development company, is pleased to announce the launch of the BlackBerry Mentat Organizer.

The software provides a rich mobile interface to Mentat, a free online service used for personal task and project management. The BlackBerry can be used to review, edit, or close items while away from the desk. The BlackBerry can be used to rapidly enter tasks and notes to projects in the system through its celebrated keyboard or via dictation using a simple, speed-dialed voice call.

"We really noticed a lack of something like Mentat for BlackBerry users both inside and outside outside our company and wanted to address the need," notes marketing director, Erik Fleuter "Now the BlackBerry serves as a fully armed and operational productivity system -- keeping you connected to your projects and your teams from anywhere."

Adding the BlackBerry client brings Mentat's list of mobile support well above the usual offering for productivity and project management tools, creating another portal to your main system for a complete synced-in planning experience.

"Mentat turns the BlackBerry into a powerful digital executive assistant" said Brain Murmurs CEO Daniel Pasco, "You have full access to all of your notes and tasks, all the time. I think its an indispensable tool for people with a lot of information to track that are always on the move, whether it's work related tasks or lists of groceries to buy or movies to rent. As soon as you think of the idea, you can capture it and retrieve it when you need it on your BlackBerry, or at your desktop in the office. If you are part of a Mentat group, it does even more."

Enhanced Benefits for Premium Subscribers

Mentat Teams and Group subscribers can use to the BlackBerry client to work with collaborative projects on the go, including notifications for new tasks or comments on tasks from other team users. Tasks can be defined and assigned to other team members with detailed comments, priorities and due dates.

Mentat BlackBerry Advantages

Apple iPhone users already have mobile access to task data via the iPhone's browser, but the BlackBerry client, as a full-fledged application, allows for an even better mobile experience since information stays cached and doesn't have to be downloaded each time a project is accessed. This means a faster experience for the user, leaving more time to handle important tasks. The BlackBerry version can also receive alerts and provides offline access.

About Mentat

The Mentat web service unifies personal task and project management for teams and individuals and is strongly influenced by the popular Getting Things Done methology.

Mentat is designed as a simple, clean and easy approach allowing you to create todo lists from an aggregated list of business and personal projects, and stay connected and in the loop for team projects.

Mentat was designed to let users get a handle on tasks from anywhere and maintain connectivity for everyone on the project wherever they may be. "Mentat introduces a beautiful symmetry between project planning and personal task management," said Daniel Pasco.

More information on Mentat is available at http://gomentat.com Personal accounts are free, and team and group accounts are available starting at $10/month.

The Mentat BlackBerry Client requires BlackBerry OS 4.2, BlackBerry Internet Service or BlackBerry Enterprise Service, and a Mentat account.

The new BlackBerry client can be pre-ordered for $25 (half off) from the Mentat website. The Mentat BlackBerry client will be release Nov 15th, and will be available at a cost $50 per client from then on.

Motion Sensor Home Security Cameras
Many security cameras do not record well in the dark. This implies that a slinky presence can get away with any deed as long as the dark provides a shield. This is where a security camera with motion sensor comes in. The motion sensor triggers an automatic response as soon as it picks up a movement in its vicinity. Some of these cameras come equipped with floodlights that power up as soon as a motion is registered, flooding the area with light and catching the culprit in the act. This is further enhanced by the fact that a security camera with motion sensor often offers a connection to a TV or computer monitor. As soon as the sensor is triggered, images of the perimeter can be captured immediately.
