私は前のバージョンを使っていなかったので、ピンと来ないところも多いのですが(^^;、WMA対応他、各機能についてかなりの機能追加がされているようです。
また、日本語訳も今回追加されているようで、お使いの方には嬉しいVerUp。ただ、メジャーVerUpということで、お値段もVer2の$9.95から、$14.95に少し値上がりしています。Ver2ユーザーからのUpgradeは、$6.00必要のようです。

前のVer2については、雲山さんが、X01HTで使われた際の詳しいレビューを書かれています。

アラームソフトは、これが決定版!という選択肢が少ないと思いますので、ちょっと期待したいツールではあります。興味のある方・お使いの方はレビュー等UPしていただけるとー。


あと、ウィルコムファンサイトのソフトウェアコンテストで、優れたアラーム関係のツールが出たら、かなり人気がでるのではと期待していたり・・(^^;
