| + | =Newton and E-Mail= |
| + | As people increasingly depend on e-mail as readily as the telephone and fax, electronic messaging becomes even more valuable when accessible from a portable device. Challenged by busy schedules, travel, and the need to manage vast amounts of information, today's 100 million mobile professionals worldwide require a more productive way of working. Newton computer devices enable you to communicate at the point of activity, whether it's at your desk, a client site, on the road, in a meeting, hospital corridor, or courtroom. |
| + | |
| + | ===Staying in Touch=== |
| + | Now you can easily send and receive e-mail messages, use information services, and access data on corporate networks, databases and servers through both wired and wireless services with a Newton mobile computer. Because the Newton operating system is tightly integrated with personal computer and enterprise environments, you can reach both colleagues and customers using internet e-mail and your intranet client/server applications of choice. Its robust architecture has encouraged hundreds of third-party developers to provide you with a multitude of e-mail solutions that offer the functionality and flexibility you need. |
| + | |
| + | ===The Newton Advantage=== |
| + | Whereas other mobile devices are limited by their small screen size, limited memory, and poor battery life, robust product solutions for e-mail are available on Newton OS devices. Newton mobile computers feature faster processors, and on the MessagePad 2000, two slots provide double the functionality, speed and storage space to perform your tasks. For example, you may use one slot for a modem and another for a storage card, enabling you to download your e-mail files without running out of memory. You can also plug an external keyboard into the serial port for easy input if you don't already have a keyboard built in. And the MessagePad 2000's 3-6 week battery life makes mobile e-mail usage possible in a package under 2 lbs. |
| + | |
| + | With so much processing power in a light-weight, compact, user-friendly, instant-on machine, why carry a laptop when Newton devices deliver everything you need and more as a mobile professional? And with built-in communication capabilities, plus a host of available e-mail solutions, you can stay connected no matter where your day takes you. |
| + | |
| + | ===Newton E-Mail Capabilities=== |
| + | You can use your Newton device to send and receive e-mail from others connected to the Internet via a variety of e-mail systems, using public commercial providers and private corporate networks. Public commercial providers include internet Service Providers (ISPs) such as [[EarthLink]], Netcom, and [[SpryNet]], or online services such as America Online. In these cases, you as an individual or small business require an account from an outside provider for e-mail services. For your convenience, the software needed to access more than 20 ISPs is built directly into the MessagePad 2000. |
| + | |
| + | Private corporate networks refer to Internet or intranet services that reside on a company's internal network, most typically using e-mail clients such as Eudora, Netscape Mail, or Microsoft Internet Mail. Private networks also include LAN-based e-mail with remote access where you use third-party client applications such as cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail, or QuickMail for functionality. Thanks to enterprising third-party developers, Newton devices support a vast range of e-mail solutions and tested modems that are available to you. |
