New Additions and Enhancements

A Better Way to Select Which Foods are Installed. From a memory standpoint, it's just not feasible to have all 40,000 foods on your PDA or phone, especially with the Non-Volitile flash memory on most Palm devices. The memory requirements for storing the food database are huge and in our testing we couldn't even install 40,000 foods without one of our devices freezing during installation. So we created a new screen where you can pick any combination of generic food categories, restaurants, and brand names. We highly recommend you keep the list to 20,000 foods or less.
 

New Food Categories.  We've replaced the food groups with the same food categories in the new version of Weight-By-Date Pro on the PC. We added separate categories for brands and restaurants. Also, if you don't have any foods installed for a category, you won't even see the category as a selection on the device.
 

Known Problems and Bugs Fixed.  We fixed a few problems that were related to synchronization and the user interface.  If you happen to find any other bugs, please report them to us and we'll gladly address them.
