WebXpress 1.03 Last Update: 12/17/97

WebXpress is a popular offline web browsing product for the Newton platform. WebXpress allows users to automatically download the text and graphics of their favorite Internet web pages on a regular, predetermined basis (for instance, every morning).

The most common use for WebXpress is to have the latest news reports automatically retrieved from the web and stored on a Newton, without user intervention, on a regular basis. For instance, popular web pages like those found on CNN Interactive, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal can be retrieved and stored on the Newton for viewing later in the day. In addition, corporate users can use WebXpress to retrieve the latest company news, pricing and inventory information off of their company's intranet automatically.

Basically, if you want to read your favorite morning newspaper on your Newton, and have your Newton automatically download it from the Internet every morning, this product will let you do it. The version supplied here is a fully-functioning 14-day evaluation version of the product; the full unit can be purchased directly from the vendor.

wordaday-1.02 Last Update: 03/02/97

WordADay 1.02 - WordADay is a Newton package that lets you build your vocabulary and internal dictionary one word a day. It does so by obtaining words from an Internet server via NewtonMail (eWorld) or AmericaOnline (using HardyMacia's Aloha package). Once words are retrieved, they can be stored internally in the WordADay database (soup), or added to the recognition dictionary of the Newton. Each word comes complete with a definition and occassionally a quote/comment from the A.Word.A.Day internet server. Words can be printed, faxed, mailed, or even beamed to another Newton running WordADay. WordADay supports scrolling using the up/down arrows of the Newton, as well as supporting the Find function, so you can look words up that way if you choose.
