wdghelp@email.mot.com). 



o 405K of free space available on the store where you install Personal

New features and bug fixes in Personal Media 1.5 

 

o Personal Media notepads now support handwriting translation. Add

recognition toggle is now available at the lower left (just next to

the scaling control) of the page. You can use mixed ink, text, and

shapes on the notepads. 



o Notepads now support the standard Newton "scrub" gesture for deletion. 



o Personal Media notepads now fully support Newton compatible ink.

This improves compatibility with the built in notes scroll as well as



other Newton Applications.  This also makes a significant improvement

in heap space usage from notepads. 



o Personal Media will now search document contents when the Newton's

Find button is used (previously we just search document titles). 



o You can now add contacts and edit contacts information (i.e. names)

without leaving Personal Media. 



o The way in which Personal Media interacts with the Newton's built

in "in box" and "out box" has been changed to improve performance and

reduce user confusion.

o "PM Intro" is a Newton book that provides additional information on

how to use Personal Media.
