PocketPuddle vs the SignPuddle Reader

Hi Sharon,

Both products will be available to help raise money for Val's 
non-profit.  Both will be able to synchronize with SignPuddle Online. 

The SignPuddle Reader will be for offline reading of documents without 
an internet connection. The SignPuddle Reader will not be able to edit 
or create new documents.

The PocketPuddle runs the same software as SignPuddle Online.  It can 
edit or create new entries just as SignPuddle Online.

Regards,
-Steve
