The new version brings dedicated support for the Apple iPhone as well as a number of minor enhancements. DEVONthink Pro Office 1.3.3 adds a JavaScript applet that allows to conveniently search any database from the Apple iPhone that has been shared and that has been made accessible on the Internet or on the intranet. The applet is optimized for the iPhone screen size as well as the tapping usage style. It communicates with the DEVONthink Pro Office using XML making it possible to browse through the results without reloading the page constantly. Additionally, the handling of problematic email messages has been enhanced by updating the embedded Pantomime framework, and the web server has been improved, is faster, more compatible, and more reliable.
Both editions now display the author name in live RSS feeds and create thumbnails of QuickTime movies from the middle of the movie instead of using the first, and often less meaningful, picture. Finally, DEVONthink Pro and Pro Office update drawers and some windows up to ten times faster than previous versions and are more compatible to the beta of Safari 3 as well as Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
System requirements:
DEVONthink Professional and Professional Office require Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
They can be downloaded for free from http://www.devon-technologies.com and can be test-driven for free for 150 hours of runtime until they need to be properly licensed. DEVONthink Professional sells for US$ 39.95, DEVONnote for US$ 19.95 in DEVONtechnologies’ online shop.

In today’s world, everything is digital. From shopping receipts to important research papers, peoples’ lives often fill their hard drives in the form of emails, PDFs, Word documents, multimedia files and more. Questions eventually pop up, like where to store all of this stuff? How to organize these very different file types, and even better, how to find the exact file one is looking for the second one needs it? It’s almost as if one needs a second brain just to keep one’s digital life straight.
Enter DEVONthink: The solution to this digital age conundrum. It is a second brain, the one and only database for all digital files, be they PDFs, emails, Word documents or even multimedia files. Boasting a refined artificial intelligence, DEVONthink is exceedingly flexible and adapts to the user’s personal needs. And if the files are not digital yet, paper capture support is already built-in (DEVONthink Pro Office only.)
Users can use it as their document repository, their filing cabinet, their email archive, or their project organizer; DEVONthink can do it all. One can even collect and organize data from the web, enrich it with sound and movie files, and then export the finished product as a website or to an Apple Pages document to print. Or one can copy the content to an iPod! The possibilities are only as limited as the user’s imagination.
The Database For The Internet Age
Because DEVONthink keeps all important data in one database, it doesn’t matter where the data is physically located. DEVONthink uniquely integrates both local documents and live content from the Internet to keep all project-related information together in one place. No more folders full of loosely organized files and overflowing bookmark bars in Safari; with DEVONthink, the user seamlessly mixes local documents, clippings, and live web pages in one dynamic database.
The Digital Workplace
DEVONthink is not only a simple database, it's a flexible work environment, too, with powerful management features suited to any professional project. It provides the user with all the tools she or he needs to effectively work with documents. The integrated RTF editor makes it easy to write new documents, or the users can open documents in a third-party application.
Intelligent Assistant
DEVONthink is based on a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) architecture that helps organize and navigate information collections quickly and accurately. It assists its users with both filing documents and with finding similar items, and can help make connections that they might have missed on their own. It can even master huge data collections with a few simple clicks, saving time and aggravation.
Share The Knowledge
Finally, DEVONthink Pro Office allows to share the accumulated and organized knowledge. Users can post it to their websites, or they can let their coworkers access databases with a familiar search-engine like interface using standard web browsers. Depending on the network setup, it’s even possible to search shared databases over the Internet. A JavaScript applet gives convenient access to the database also from the Apple iPhone.
