From personal productivity software to develop- ment tools, this guide includes up-to-date information on the newest Newton 2.0 products and solutions that can help you work more efficiently and effectively. The Newton Platform—Setting the Standard for PDAs n mid-1993, Apple® Computer, Inc. launched Ithe first Newton device, the Apple MessagePad,™ ushering in a new class of computing products— the personal digital assistant. More than just an electronic organizer, Newton PDAs are powerful hand-held devices that provide mobile professionals and corporate users with an intelligent operating system, seamless desktop connectivity, and a wide variety of easy-to-use software solutions. Since the introduction of the first Newton-based PDA, scores of products have been developed to expand the range of Newton mobile solutions. Motorola, for example, has combined its expertise in wireless communications with the Newton platform to deliver the Motorola Marco Wireless Communicator, a hand-held Newton PDA with a built-in wireless modem. Many other products based on the Newton 2.0 operating system will be introduced in the coming year. Mobile professionals have been adopting Newton PDAs because of the ease in which they’re able to organize, communicate, and integrate information with others while they’re away from their desks. The Newton platform’s intuitive interface and large selection of productivity solutions help mobile professionals get more work done in less time. page5-6-7-8-9* 9/22/95 10:02 AM Page 2 Introduction Value-added resellers and systems integrators value the Newton platform, because its robust object-oriented operating system pro- vides them with a powerful foundation for building custom busi- ness solutions. This platform offers state-of-the-art technologies for capturing and managing information, easy procedures for transfer- ring information to and from Mac OS and Windows personal com- puters, and a broad selection of communication options. During the last two years, no other PDA platform has achieved as much support and enthusiasm from users and industry leaders: The Apple MessagePad has won a number of awards, including BYTE Magazine’s “Best Hand-held Product of the Year” for the sec- ond year in a row, and similar awards from Computer Currents and Fortune Magazine. For Organizing Your Life If you’re a person who spends a lot of time away from your office, Newton PDAs provide you with the best and broadest capabilities for capturing and organizing personal and work infor- mation. The system’s flexible interface allows you to enter information in the manner that works best for you—whether you prefer the system’s built-in hand- writing recognition feature, the on-screen keyboard, or a plug-in keyboard. Applications built into every Newton device help you intelligently manage con- tacts, dates, and information. And you can add spe- cialized functions by using any of the hundreds of com- mercial and shareware applications available. Whether you need to track expenses, pay bills while out of town, monitor e-mail and voice mail accounts, track billable hours, or access reference materials while on the road, the Newton plat- form is the most powerful and flexible hand-held device on the market today. page5-6-7-8-9* 9/22/95 10:02 AM Page 3 For Communicating With Others The Newton Operating System was designed from the ground up with a powerful communication architecture. Built-in capabilities, such as eWorld™ electronic mail and fax reception, let you stay in touch while at home or away. And recent alliances between Apple and third-party providers have created more ways for you to commu- nicate with others without having to plug your Newton device into a telephone jack. You can send and receive data using the wireless communication technology that best suits your business’s needs: digital cellular, radio frequency (RF), paging, or infrared (IR). For Integrating Into Your Work Environment The rate of Newton adoption among businesses is growing rapidly because of the large selection of vertical solutions available and the ease in which Newton devices can interface with Macintosh com- puters, Windows™–based PCs, and corporate host computers. Businesses can choose from the hundreds of targeted business applications available today, in fields such as health care, field ser- vices, and sales. The Newton platform’s powerful operating system and develop- ment tools enable system integrators, in-house developers, and value-added resellers to build custom software solutions in far less time than on other PDA platforms. For complex applications, the Newton Toolkit provides developers with a high-level object-orient- ed development environment. Off-the-shelf solution tools enable business users to do everything from browsing the Internet, to remotely accessing data from corporate databases, to gathering data with bar code readers.

  • Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Mobile Devices in a University Language Classroom
    1 Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Mobile Devices in a University Language Classroom Robert CHARTRAND Abstract Advances in tablet computers and cell phone technology have greatly improved recently and such devices are now widely used. Language teachers have especially been interested in using these devices as a means of providing learning opportunities. Reading online content from eBooks or the Internet, listening to music and watching videos are all activities which support the learning of languages. There are, however, a number of problems that have arisen when using mobile learning in a language classroom. The smaller screen, for example, makes it difficult to read content and input text with the online keyboard. Technical problems such as difficulty connecting the Internet, hardware failures and software issues are all common problems. Moreover, distractions from students who do not stay focused on the assigned tasks are becoming a classroom management issue as well. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of using mobile devices in a language classroom at a university setting are discussed in this paper. Keywords: Mobile device, language learning, classroom management, advantages, disadvantages The Advent of Mobile Devices A mobile device can be defined as a small handheld computer that has a touch display or a small keyboard for text input. Mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, eBook readers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other similar devices can all be defined as mobile devices (Kukulska-Hulme, Sharples, Milrad, Arnedillo-Sánchez, & Vavoula, 2009). Although handheld devices have been available commercially since Apple Computer released the Apple Newton MessagePad in 1993, Palm Inc. released the Palm Pilot in 1996, and Microsoft Corporation released the Tablet PC in 2001.

  • Newton Mail V User's Guide
    Newton Mail V User’s Guide This booklet tells you how to set up and use the Newton Mail V internet e-mail transport. For the background on Newton e-mail, please refer to Apple’s Newton E-Mail guide [1]. Mail V supports the SMTP and IMAP4 protocols for sending and receiving e-mail. Getting Started There are several things you need to do in order to use e-mail. ■ You need to create an Internet setup using the Newton Internet Enabler (NIE) [5] so that your Newton device can communicate with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or intranet. ■ If you’re using a modem, you need to set your modem preferences. ■ You need to set up Mail V [7], of course. Once these steps are done, you should be able to use e-mail on your Newton device. Note Because Mail V uses the Newton Internet Enabler, it will only work with Newton 2.x devices. It will not work on the Original MessagePad (OMP), MP100, MP110 or early models of the MP120 which use Newton 1.x. ◆ 1 Installation System Update If you don’t already have the latest Newton System Update [4], you should install that first. To find out your system version: 1! Open the Extras Drawer and tap the Information button. 2! In the list that appears, tap Memory Info. A slip appears showing you your ROM Version at the bottom left. When Apple abandoned Newton on 27 February 1998, the versions were: ! US & International English! German MP120! 2.0 (516263)! 2.0 (536205) MP130! 2.0 (526205)! 2.0 (536205) MP2000! 2.1 (717145)! 2.1 (747260) MP2100! 2.1 (717260)! 2.1 (747260) eMate 300! 2.1 (737246) Since then Paul Guyot has created a 2.1 (710031) update for the English MP2000 and MP2100 that fixes a Dates/Find bug.

    AccessionIndex: TCD-SCSS-T.20170830.010 Accession Date: 30-Aug-2017 Accession By: Hans-Jurgen Kugler Object name: Apple Newton MessagePad 2000 Vintage: c.1997 Synopsis: Apple personal digital assistant (PDA) with handwriting recognition, plus keyboard and power supply, Model: H0149, S/N: ????. Description: The Apple Newton was introduced in Aug-1993 after a 6-year gestation that also involved gestation of the company Advanced RISC Machines (ARM). It began with ambitious goals but eventually was re-imagined as a personal digital assistant (PDA). Similar devices had existed for a decade, for example the Psion Organiser was introduced in 1984, but they were not called PDAs. Not only did the Newton introduce the term PDA, but it also became the first such device to feature handwriting recognition. The Newton was championed by John Sculley, and then discontinued by his rival Steve Jobs in 1998 after the latter rejoined Apple. It is very likely that the concept led directly to the iPad and iPhone. An operating system, NewtonOS , and a language, NewtonScript , were invented for it, with garbage collection, soup storage and user-interface toolkit, specifically tuned for designs with large ROM and small RAM capacities. The original Newton MessagePad (Model H1000 or Junior ) had a 20MHz ARM 610 CPU, 4MB of ROM, 640kB of RAM, a 336 x 240 monochrome display, RS422 serial and LocalTalk interfaces, and SHARP ASK infrared communications. It also had one PCMCIA-II slot (5V or 12V). It ran NewtonOS versions 1.0-1.11, and it could be powered either from four internal AAA or NiCd rechargeable batteries or an external power supply.
