For $999 you get a fairly complete automated system allowing you to draw up floor plans and other needed information. Looks like a <i>"architects, appraisers, contractors, estimators, facility managers, inspectors, owners, planners and real estate agents"</i> best friend!

Well, I think we can eliminate "appraisers and real estate agents" from that list in a hurry. The cost is way to high for them. We have a much more suitable product for that class of user, and I am the one that developed the DISTO™ Plus (the device shown)- specifically for the appraisal, inspector and general real estate agent market. I sent the first public release info on that device to Jason as a "scoop" about a year and a half ago - the first day it was public. Our software runs between $99 and $149, and while it is not as sophisticated as GMP's re-branding of the Felix engine, it is more targeted for the real estate market. Currently, we enjoy an approximate 90% market share nationally in the real estate appraisal field and about 40% of the county jurisdictions in the country. Our closest competitor there is about 4%. I say this not to brag, but as a measure of credibility. Another thing not mentioned is that the DISTO™ Plus shown sells for $699 - though we, and others, sell it everyday for $649. More on our mobile and desktop products can be seen at: www.apexwin.com If anyone has questions about how the device works, the interface (we wrote it), etc., feel free to ask and I am glad to help. This is one topic that I am more than casually familiar with - LOL. Sorry, I cannot discuss the device coming out to replace the DISTO™ Plus, though.

PowerCad is the only Pocket PC/Windows Mobile software that I've seen advertised on a billboard.
