Newton Accessories
Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
Accessorize one of your most valuable possessions -- your personal digital
assistant -- and you can work faster and even more efficiently. With the Newton
MessagePad communications assistant from Apple, you can choose from a broad
range of accessory products -- from connectivity devices to battery
enhancements to storage options.
With the optional accessories, you can print letters, send a fax or receive
paging messages, connect to your personal computer, or access information on
the network. You can also work for hours without having to change batteries.
Then carry your Newton MessagePad in its fine leather case wherever you go.
Communications Products
Newton Connection Kit
This kit comes with a serial cable and software that allows you to connect your
Newton MessagePad communications assistant to your personal computer. Then you
can view and edit on your computer all the notes, name cards, and appointments
you created on your Newton MessagePad. Press a button, and files between your
personal computer and the Newton MessagePad are updated and synchronized
automatically. You can also back up information you keep in your Newton
MessagePad.
One version of the kit works with personal computers running Microsoft Windows,
and the other works with Apple Macintosh computers.
Newton Connection Pro Kit
This kit gives you everything the Newton Connection Kit provides -- and more.
You can translate your appointments, name cards, and notes from your Newton
MessagePad directly into popular PC and Macintosh applications -- and vice
versa. One version works with personal computers running Microsoft Windows, and
the other works with Apple Macintosh computers.
Messaging Card
Turn your Newton MessagePad into a mobile pager. The Messaging Card receives
and stores wireless messages -- even when it's not plugged into your Newton
MessagePad. It is for use with regional and nationwide paging systems and news
services.

This lightweight, portable fax modem allows you to send and receive electronic
mail, connect to on-line services, and send faxes anywhere. It weighs only 7
ounces and uses either two AA alkaline batteries (included) or a Newton Power
Adapter.
