"Pocketgram Valentines are engaging and whimsical and they have your very own message inside", exclaims software publisher Trina Clickner, Founder of Palmtop Publishing.  "Pocketgrams put your personalized, long-lasting love note directly into your Valentine's handheld - your message endures and goes with them at all times."
<p>

In less than a minute, with internet access, a little imagination, and the ability to complete a simple web-based form, you've got a Pocketgram Valentine - exceptional results with no programming experience!   
<p>
Pocketgrams are for people who want to differentiate themselves in a whole new dimension.  While Pocketgram Valentines are for wish lists, marriage proposals, and mantras, customized Pocketgrams extend any business message effortlessly into the pocket using any kind of wired or wireless connection.  The pocketgram.com website offers examples of successful, public Pocketgrams including Pocketgrams for the Super Bowl, Macworld and CeBIT trade shows, and customizable Pocketgrams for real estate advertising novelties, free website trinkets, information-rich giveaways, and creative, executive gifts.
<p>
Pocketgrams are powered by award-winning OnTap(TM) Technology from Aegean Associates, Inc.  "The beamable Pocketgram extends our trade show solution suite", exclaims Demitrios Vassaras, President of Aegean Associates, Inc.  "We've refined our technology over the past four years and you will see several leading companies offer powered by OnTap Technology solutions in the near future."
