MessagePad Accessories

Now you can make your Apple MessagePad personal digital assistant (PDA) even more valuable, and make it work even more efficiently.

Because no matter which MessagePad product you have, you can choose from a broad range of accessory products -- from connectivity solutions to battery enhancements to storage options.

With these optional accessories, you can print letters, send and receive faxes, receive wireless messages and pages, connect to your personal computer, or gain access to information on your network. You can also work for hours without having to change batteries. And you can protect your MessagePad -- and its accessories -- in a leather carrying case, wherever you go.

Accessories

Newton Connection Kits

These kits connect your Apple MessagePad or other Newton technology-based products to a Windows PC or an Mac OS computer to create, view, edit, synchronize, and back up information. They also enable you to move Newton software from your personal computer to your Newton device.

Note: The Newton Connection Kit has been superseded by the Newton Connection Utilities, providing the same functionality previously provided by the Newton Connection Kit.

Newton Connection Utilities

This software allows your MessagePad 120 with Newton 2.0 operating system to connect to your Windows-based or Mac OS computer to create, view, edit, synchronize, and back up information with popular personal computer applications, and to gain access to your personal computer's information while at your desk or from a remote location.
