Just got a very basic implementation of Anagram up and running on the 3.0 beta iPhone. Here are some screenshots of the alpha version in action!
Very exciting stuff. Will be demoing this at CTIA Wireless next week!

Click the “Save Contact” button and voila! New contact in your Address Book.
The Anagram iGoogle Gadget has been out for a while but recently we got word that you can install Google Gadgets into Gmail now. Very cool! Only trying it out with the Anagram Gadget did not produce good results… there is much less space available and everything gets cut off.
So we’ve fixed the formatting and have the gadget working seamlessly with Gmail. Now you can add contacts and appointments without switching to your iGoogle homepage.
Instructions for installing Anagram in your Gmail sidebar.
Here’s how it looks (click to enlarge):

Even bigger news than Anagram for BlackBerry is that the long-awaited iPhone OS 3.0 was just announced and it includes copy-and-paste functionality. Good news for everyone who’s been complaining about that missing feature, but good news also for us since it means developing Anagram for the iPhone is finally a possibility.
iPhone Copy/Paste
I’m a firm believer that Anagram Technology is more useful the smaller the form factor of the device in question. It’s already brilliant on the PC and even better on the tablet PC, but who takes the time to copy-and-paste contact information into the address book on a tiny PDA? If you do, leave a comment. You’re my hero!
We actually put some serious resources into creating Anagram for the iPhone around the time of the 2.0 OS release. I was convinced that it would have copy-and-paste since it was billed as a business-focused release. So the bonus here is that the Anagram engine is already up and running on the iPhone, and it works like a dream.
More info and screenshots coming soon as we turn this into a beta version…
It’s official… Anagram for BlackBerry was chosen by AT&T as an official contestant in the AT&T devCentral Fast-Pitch Platinum Awards at CTIA 2009 coming up April 1-2 in Las Vegas.
I’ll be there showing off a beta version of Anagram for BlackBerry to a panel of judges to compete against other applications in innovation and creativity. How can we lose???
Anagram for BlackBerry
The bigger news here may be that Anagram is coming soon for the BlackBerry platform. You can see how cool it is by watching a 1 minute video at the above link. And you can download the beta version now to see for yourself.
