Channel 8 Software has updated two of their popular applications, iOrganizer and ExchangePoint. iOrganizer 1.2.4 is a full-featured Personal Information Management application, and ExchangePoint 1.2 is a powerful collaboration program. According to Channel 8 Software:

Channel 8 Software today announced the availability of ExchangePoint 1.2, a powerful program that makes it easier than ever to share ideas with people around the office or around the globe.

ExchangePoint is an innovative client and server suite that allows two or more users to chat, share files from peer to peer, post news, send and receive private electronic messages, and even draw together on a networked digital whiteboard. ExchangePoint facilitates online interaction in a way never before possible. Users can join an existing ExchangePoint online community or create a community of their own within minutes!

ExchangePoint 1.2 now supports hierarchy in shared files, searching shared files on a server, and marquee selection in the whiteboard. Various other improvements have also been made in ExchangePoint 1.2, including support for text profiles and support for invisible and permanent channels.

With its combination of ease of use, power, and flexibility, ExchangePoint makes it easy for users to share news, ideas, files, and media. ExchangePoint is the ideal tool for businesses, families, friends, and students to improve communication.

Channel 8 Software today also updated its popular organizational application for the Macintosh, iOrganizer. iOrganizer includes an address book, a bookmark list, a personal event calendar, and a file download list. iOrganizer can also import contacts, bookmarks, events, and file URLs from a variety of formats; search, sort, and print lists; launch your e-mail client to send a message to a contact; open a website in your web browser; and internally download files from FTP or HTTP servers.

iOrganizer's innovative, sensible interface makes it easy for users to add and edit contacts, web addresses, and appointments. With its simplicity and flexibility, iOrganizer is the perfect tool to help people keep track of the important information in their lives.

iOrganizer is available for US$18, while ExchangePoint is available for US$35. You can find more information at the Channel 8 Software Web site.
