BEAMERS

beam-o-matica Last Update: 03/02/97

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 Last Update: 03/02/97

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 Last Update: 03/02/97

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 Last Update: 03/02/97

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 Last Update: 03/02/97

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 Last Update: 03/02/97

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.

sonyremote-1.01 Last Update: 03/02/97

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 Last Update: 03/02/97

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 Last Update: 04/02/98

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
