BEAMERS
Beam-o-matica - Beam-o-matica is simple. It sends and receives text as
straight ASCII via the Newton MessagePad's infrared port. Using this utility a person can
send and receive ASCII from the Newton to any machine capable of connecting to a Sharp
CE-IR2 serial modem at 9600,8,1,N. SENDING TEXT - Hilight the text to be sent and click
the "Tx" button. RECEIVING TEXT- Click the "Rx" button. The newton
will place any text received via the IR port to where the cursor is currently pointing. To
stop receiving click on the "Stop" button. It's that simple. This application is
shareware. By Vernon Huang. Takes up 28k once installed.
Beamer 1.0 - The Beamer application is a useful utility for those using
Newton Beaming or NewtonMail. Beamer will allow you to fill up the inbox of a friend with
items from your notepad, names, calendar or todo. Beamer brings up a list of all the
entries in one of these soups and you can beam or mail any set of them to one user by
checking off the appropriate items. You can switch soups with the list picker at the lower
left corner of the screen. The name was changed to Beamer from BeamMeUp in this version to
avoid conflicting with two other applications named BeamMeUp. When beaming, this works
best when the person who wants to receive sets their Newton in receive beams
automatically.
BeamPkg 1.0 - By popular demand, from the makers of MagicApp (trade
mark), a Newton program that allows you to beam packages between Newton MessagePads.
Packages large and small can now be sent with the tap of a pen. This program only works
with the MP110 and MP100. BeamPkg brings the convenience of beaming to the sending and
receiving of Newton packages. BeamPkg slices a Newton program up into little pieces and
transmits those to a receiving Newton where it is reassembled. When you are sending large
packages, make sure you have enough battery power and enough storage space on the
receiving Newton. You should allow for 2.5 times the size of the package in free space on
the receiving Newton. If you botch a transfer, use the "Flush In/Out Box" button
to clear out the In or Out Box.
Burrito Beamer - This is an interesting Newton app, where you just
select the items you want on your burrito, and send you order! Now if your local custom
taqueria has a Sharp RY5AR021 Enhanced-Range Infrared Data Receiver and is within range,
you can save time by beaming your burrito order ahead of you. If it's still a low-tech
operation, you can instead email your order, or if it's particularly quaint, fax it. No
support yet for ethernet, since La Costena in Mountain View doesn't support it. User
configuration, client-to-client beaming, and client-to-client email with enclosures is not
supported in the current version. If both clients have Burrito Beamer installed, beaming
and email with enclosures will succeed.
PizzaBeamer 0.2 - Allows you to fax, email, or beam a pizza order.
Contains click boxes, just click on the ingredients, write in any extra info, and click
fax! Shareware $5; expires after one month. You can pay for this and other shareware using
Register.
SendMyBizCard 1.5 - Send My Biz Card is a small app that lets you create
an entry in your Names cardfile using the information in your 'Personal' preferences or
just select an existing one. It remembers this card and whenever you want to send your
electronic business card, just open 'Send My Biz Card' and hit the 'Beam' button. No more
need to search for your card with the find function or a lot of taps on the screen.
ShowTime - Sine of the Times, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of
ShowTime, the Newton's first fully scriptable and schedulable remote control. ShowTime
offers easy management of multiple electronic components, alarm scheduling, and creation
of scripts (software programs). Currently only modern Sony equipment is supported. In
total, there are over 400 different infrared commands available within ShowTime. ShowTime
provides full functionality for - Sony Amplifiers, Sony Tuners, Sony Compact Disc (CD)
Players, Sony Digital Audio Tape (DAT) Players, Sony Cassette Tape (TAPE) Players, Sony
Phono Players, Sony Televisions, Sony Video Tape Recorders (VTR), Sony LaserDisc (LD)
Players, and Sony Video Cameras (SonyCAM). This version is fully functional.
SonyRemote 1.01 - SonyRemote is a Newton Compatible application that
allows you to use the InfraRed transmitter on a Newton to control some Sony consumer
electronics devices. The VCR codes control a Sony Beta VCR from the reports I have
received. Most codes from the CD player, Tape Deck, Television, Amplifier and Tuner work,
I think the shift is non-functional on the tuner. I have left it in just in case it works
on someone's tuner. The volume control also appears to behave very slowly (at least for
me) on the tuner. It should remember the position on the screen and the last used remote
between uses. I got SonyRemote to work 22 feet away!
TVPAD 0.9 - TVPad is a scriptable remote control for the Emerson VCR and
Magnavox TV. There is also an area for Mitsubishi TV and Sony TV, but I'm not sure they
work yet. Pick a remote, and control the on/off, volume, and channels for your TV. There
are also programmable buttons for your favorite channels such as MTV, PBS... The scripting
is a little like modem strings. So, "V+ C23" might mean, "Up the volume and
switch to channel 23." Uses the infrared on the Newton.
Visual Phone (aka Video Phone) is a shared whiteboard application
for Newton devices. Using either a modem or an infrared (beaming) link, two Newtons can
share one virtual whiteboard to conduct discussions, etc. Very handy during meetings or
for illustrating a point to a user in a remote location. Shareware version requires
registration after one use. Credit: Paragon Newton Division paragon.rus@g23.relcom.ru
VTK for Newton Shareware 1.0 - Welcome to Abbate Video's VTK for Newton!
With this package, you can control popular consumer and professional VCRs, with feedback,
right from your Newton. Just load the software, connect the control module, and control
and log your footage the easy way! If you do not have the control module yet, you can use
VTK for Newton as a real-time logging utility. VTK for Newton is more than a simple IR
remote replacement. VTK for Newton provides two way communication with the camcorder or
VCR. This two way connection lets you create a time log of counter or timecode numbers
with just a tap on the Newton. Furthermore, VTK for Newton seamlessly integrates into the
Newton environment.
