    Description
    The Apple MessagePad 120 puts easy-to-use communications, productivity, and desktop connectivity solutions in the palm of your hand so you can work away from your office.

    Yet you'll find it far more useful than paper or electronic organizers because while it has a built-in notepad, to-do list, datebook, and address file for organizing personal and business affairs, with a modem it can also send faxes and gibes you access to e-mail and on-line services.

    The Apple MessagePad 120 can receive pages as well as electronic mail. And its built-in infrared communications allow you to instantly exchange information with other Newton devices.

    The Apple MessagePad 120 lets you share and exchange information with either Windows-based or Macintosh computers.

    Pen-based navigation and data entry make finding information easy and fast. And it allows you to capture and organize information in many forms: notes, sketches, schedules, lists, and letters. It also lets you enter information in many ways: digital ink, printed text, graphics, on-screen keyboard, or a combination.

    The Apple MessagePad 120 has printing capabilities that make it simple to print your information the way it appears on its crisp, easy-to-read screen, or as full-page formatted letters.

    Its built-in recognition software can even transform your written handwriting into typed text letter by letter or word by word.

    But best of all-unlike paper and electronic organizers-your Apple MessagePad 120 can be expanded with software titles as well as accessories and on-line services that can keep you organized, efficient, and very well informed.
