2. Handheld Contact API: No more console, no more contact limits, and no more single device subscriptions, as Handheld Contact API will allow you to instantly sync unlimited contacts, across multiple devices, faster and more frequently.
   Minimal setup is required as users simply enter their database credentials & location, and the syncing begins immediately. Some features like quoting and mobile mapping will be added over time with subsequent updates. No more waiting for the HHC Console as long queues could lead to delays in updates. Handheld Contact API waits in line for no one, as all users & all devices get their updates directly from the source, immediately.

3. Act4mail (replaces Act4outlook Web): Enjoy true Outlook integration as Act4mail integrates Outlook (32 or 64-bit) with Act! (web or Windows), while incorporating new mail merge capabilities. Imagine having Act & Outlook seamlessly integrated on a computer without Act! installed. Now imagine running mail merges, as well, with the same publisher as Act! Premium Plus. All that's available in Act4mail, and for only $36/year.
