Now supports Smartphones. In a nutshell, this version includes usability changes, new screen sizes for Windows Mobile 6, and support for Smartphones (Windows Mobile devices without a touchscreen - called Windows Mobile Standard with Version 6.)
“We're especially excited about the Smartphone support since those devices make up a significant portion of the current handheld device market,” said Laura Phillips, vice president and business manager for Northern Hills Software. “We’ve supported the Windows Mobile Phone Edition since it first came out, but the old Smartphones with no touchscreen just weren’t suitable for a sophisticated application like Pocket Genealogist. However, with the tremendous improvements we’ve seen recently in Smartphone screens and navigation, we’re finally comfortable adding support for those devices.”
This release also includes better support for the use of Pocket PCs without a stylus, better Windows Mobile 6 support, and many other improvements. It is a free upgrade for users who previously purchased Pocket Genealogist 3.x.

from Kevin Phillips of Northern Hills Software:
Pocket Genealogist Users,
The latest version of Legacy [6.0.0.99] and the latest version of Pocket Genealogist
(2.97) both have changes that will require that you delete your old Pocket Genealogist database(s) and create new ones.Therefore, before you install either, make sure you do a synchronization between Pocket Genealogist and Legacy so that any changes made on your Windows Mobile device are updated into Legacy. (Otherwise if you install either the 2.97 version of Pocket Genealogist or the latest Legacy version, you'll have to revert to GEDCOM to get your changes back into Legacy)
Then, delete your Pocket Genealogist databases and install the Legacy update and install Pocket Genealogist 2.97.
