* DRASTIC MP100 PRICE DROP
        Dave Mankins (dm@hri.com) reports that Tuesday's October 25th _New
York Times_ had ads for $200 MP100s.  One of those ads was from
The Wiz (800.846.6289)
        Wayne S. Papy (Wayne_S._Papy@bmug.org) confirms this with this
info: J&R (800.221.8180) is selling MP 100's at $200. Included was a
'Power Organizer' pack which is a travel bag, external modem, Notion
and Expense software for $199.
        Anthony De La Rosa (aed2612@hertz.njit.edu) reports these are MP100
with 1.3 ROMs and the offer is good until Dec.31,1994.
        You can also get a similar deal from Mike Callaghan (mikec@mv.MV.COM)
(800.777.1984) or  (603.883.1212) but he did say that he doubts
"they'll last through the weekend."
        Over the weekend in San Diego, Creative Computers (aka MacMail)
has a similar $199 Newton ad.  You can reach them for mail order
at 800.222.2808.
        As we go to press though, people on the Internet are reporting
that all $200 Newtons have been sold.
        It is too bad that Apple and resellers can't make much of a profit
off of these prices.

* BABY BELLS LINK UP TO FORM CELLULAR NETWORK
        Bell Atlantic, Nynex, U S West and AirTouch Communications will
join forces to provide new wireless services through a nationwide
cellular network. The quartet will form a partnership in preparation
for bidding on PCS licenses later this year. Together, the four
already own cellular licenses in 15 of the 20 top markets in the U.S.
and combined subscribers number near four million, with an additional
100 million potential customers waiting to be wooed. (Wall Street
Journal 10/21/94 A3)  Still undecided is whether the new four-company
partnership will form an alliance with an AT&T long-distance
competitor. (New York Times 10/21/94 C6)

* BELL ATLANTIC OFFERS PERSONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS ASSISTANT
        Bell Atlantic will co-market OCTuS PTA (personal telecommunications
assistant), a software package that allows users to control Centrex
and Caller ID services from their PCs. OCTuS PTA offers "intelligent
icons" to click on for making phone or fax calls.

* CELLULAR SERVICES GET CHEAPER
        The average monthly cellular phone bill is now $58.65, nearly 40%
lower than the $100 average in 1990.  A large factor in the decrease
is that cellular service is now used not just by traveling
professionals but by individuals who have it primarily for security
and safety reasons and use it sparingly. (Atlanta
Journal-Constitution 10/23/94 P2)

PowerPC News
------------
* IBM PLANS THREE NEW EMBEDDED POWERPC CHIPS
        IBM has begun to disclose information about their variations on the
PowerPC processor PPC403GA. The three are codenamed after 1950s cars.
        Valiant: is expected in the first quarter of 1994. It is aimed at
the 'consumer market' for usage in video cameras and set-top boxes.
        El Camino: will appear after Valiant.  It meets "the needs of a
specific set-top box manufacturer and two Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA) manufacturers." The added features are improved memory and
better resource protection.
        Fuego: is being design by IBM's division in France and should be
out after next summer.  It is designed for telecommunications
applications

"Lexmark heats up laser printer race with 1,200-dpi line."

* NEW NEWTON CLIENTS
        There are several new Newton email clients on the way. Creative
Digital Systems (415.621.4252) or (cds@netcom.com) is planning
"Linker" to give the Newton access to AppleLink mail. It can not
however retrieve or send enclosures.
        BlackLabs (303.938.8580) or (sales@blacklabs.com) is going to have
a CompuServe email and forum client, and an update to FirstClass
Retriever+. [p 14 and 16]

* SOLOR AND OTHER POWER SOURCES
        James Staten passes along these power source tips:
        Keep It Simple Systems (800.327.6882) has two solar panels to power
your PDAs: Sun Runner ($199) and Sun Runner Jr. ($159).
        You can also get four AA lithium batteries for MP110 from Energizer
Corp. They cost $6.99 a pair at Radio Shack.  They can last up to 20
hours.
        Battery Technology (800.982.8284) has a $99 X-Pack that doubles as
a carrying case and rechargeable power source.
        You can also pick up an AC adapter that outputs the required 7
volts, 700 milliamps required by Apple at Radio Shack at $1.69. The
part number is 274-1570 or 274-1570A. [p. 14]

* "ON THE ROAD"
        Ardis is planning to cut their email rates. Contact them at

* MCI: WIRELESS AND PARTNERLESS
        In contrast to AT&T (which has formed a partnership with McCaw) and
Sprint (which will form one with cable companies TCI, Comcast, Cox
and Continental Cablevision), MCI will build a nationwide wireless
phone network without alliances. The company believes that because of
technological advances and new radio frequencies made available by
the government, there will be a glut of capacity from which it can
buy wireless services wholesale and resell them to consumers. MCI's
CEO says: "When you have capacity coming out your ears and lots of
competitors, marketing reigns supreme. There is very little advantage
in owning the underlying facilities." (New York Times 10/24/94 C1)

* CURRENCY CONVERTER
        The Koblas Currency Converter on the World Wide Web allows you to
check up-to-date conversion rates for any particular currency. When
you select a nation from a menu, its currency values are then
displayed against about 50 other currencies. Each time you select a
new country, the currencies are all recalculated against the new
currency. See: http://www.ora.com/cgi-bin/ora/currency. (Internet
World Nov./Dec.'94 p.98)

* EDUCOM CONFERENCE
        It's not too late to make plans to attend Educom'94, the premier
conference on information technology in higher education, which will
be held Oct. 31-Nov. 3. in San Antonio. Registrations will be
accepted on-site at the San Antonio Convention Center beginning Oct.
30. For info  call 202-872-4200 or see http://educom.edu/

* WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY GO?
        The U.S. economy has wasted $1 trillion during the past decade on
computing resources it didn't use, according to a book by Charles
Wang, founder and chairman of Computer Associates. (Investor's
Business Daily 10/27/94 A4)

* MORE WIRELESS BIDS
        The FCC's latest spectrum auction opened yesterday, and after five
rounds of bidding, the top offers for two-way paging services
licenses came in higher than expected at $297.2 million. The auction
is expected to last two or more weeks. (Wall Street Journal 10/27/94
B14)

* WIRELESS WONDER
        A wireless modem about the size of a TV remote can transmit via
several communications protocols, supporting modem and fax
applications in circuit-switched cellular and wireline modes, and
TCP/IP in CDPD (cellular digital packet data) mode. Unfortunately,
PocketPlus doesn't come cheap -- it retails for $1,195. (Information
Week 10/31/94 p.80)

MacUser, December 1994
----------------------
* READ INTELLIGENT NEWTON!
        This is the advice of Andy Ihnatko (andyi@world.std.com) in his
"Paper Chase" Column.  Andy is a big MessagePad guy and finds reading
IN Magazine a relief from all the misinformation you find in the
rest of the Industry Press.  You can reach IN Magazine by email at
(inmagazine1@eworld.com).
        Andy also thinks you should be reading the following magazines:
Flash (desktop publishing), 2600 (hacking), Macintosh Product
Registry, and Tidbits. [pp. 23-24]

MacWorld, December 1994
-----------------------
* CLOSE LOOK AT WIRELESS
        Cary Lu has an indepth look at wireless technologies for
Macintoshes. Products reviewed include: Dayna Communications'
DaynaComm Serial Roamer, Digital Ocean's Grouper 100LT, Digital
Ocean's Grouper 200LT, Digital Ocean's Manta 500 EN, and Photonics
Corp's Cooperative Adapter. [pp. 163-165]

* GIVE PENS FOR XMAS
        David Pogue thinks that the failure of the Newton to take over the
galaxy is because of its pen.  You can make things better by giving
The Stealth Stylus II from WriteWare (408.262.6660). This is a pen
and stylus together.  But if your candidate for a present already has
a really nice MontBlanc they you can give them a SNAP (Stylus Not A
Pen) stylus cartridge for that nice pen. [p. 170]

Wired, November 1994
--------------------
* SHARP ZAURUS DOES WELL IN JAPAN
        The problem as Bob Johnstone sees it with handwriting recognition
is cursive writing.  Even though the Japanese alphabet is over 2,000
characters, they are overall very distinct, so this is why the Sharp
Zaurus PI-3000 has sold 300,000 units.  This probably explains why
Sharp jumped off the Newton bandwagon. [p. 38]

Do It Yourself Screen Protector
-------------------------------
by Larry Slack (L.Slack@Cornell.edu)

[Editor Note: Below is from a post to the Internet. I have attempted
to modify it to make it NewtNews friendly.]

* DISCLAIMER
        I am *not* a "handyperson"*  and don't even play one on the Net;
can't do plumbing, carpentry, can barely use a screwdriver. I would
rather hire a professional, my Wife laughs and calls me "Mr. Handy",
you get the idea. In fact, you could say I am HIP (Handy-Impaired Person).
        (Hey, why don't we start a contest for the most creative
disclaimers?  Or better yet let's create a "boilerplate" that can
just be inserted?  Oh, never mind...)

* BASIC IDEA
        I bought one large sheet of .005 milar for under $2.00.   It is
perfectly clear, and has *no* sticky substance.  I tried .007 and it
was too thick to accurately measure the newton pen strokes.
        I cut the large sheet myself using a ruler and a razor blade (gasp,
sweat, deep breaths ...) into smaller sheets.
        A sheet slides under the top part of the screen.  It is loose at the
bottom of the screen. It is loose at the bottom of the screen. It
does NOT cover a minimal area on the left and right of the screens.
Although I am getting better at it, I haven't been able to cut this
to exactly the size of the MP screen, squeeze it into the four
corners, and still get the covering to lay perfectly flat.  So
therefore, the cover is loose and can be lifted out of the way for
cleaning.

* EXPERIENCE
        Even though it's not totally easy when you start to cut the sheets
to exactly the right size, the more you do it the better you get.
        Cleaning the screen (breathing on the screen and cleaning with a
soft cloth is best) in essential because dust, hairs etc. can
accumulate. As the sheet scratches the images do get cloudy. It lasts
a few weeks, then as it becomes scratched and starts to curl from the
bottom, I pull it out, *flip it over", reinsert it and I'm set for a
few more weeks.
        I like the system because it has protected my screen from
scratches, it's easy to use, and it's cheap!! My advice is if you are
willing to experiment as above, go for it.  I am managing OK, and
haven't damaged anything! If you are not willing to experiment, try a
sample from all the vendors.

Comments from the Editor
------------------------
* EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGE
        My new email address is (sholden@owens.ridgecrest.ca.us). Please
use this address in the future for NewtNews related email. Thanks!

* GOTTA HAVE A NEWTON PEN
        Being Editor of NewtNews does have some benefits. One of those is
trying out cool Newton pens.  I currently have four pens I have been
using and abusing.  The Apple MP110 is still used a lot, because the
others get left at my desk by accident. So it is worth mentioning
that I still think its useful and easy to use, but out of the four I
have been using it rates last overall.
        My favorite is the WriteWare's Stealth Stylus II. This is a full
sized pen and a stylus. The pen works like a charm and the stylus
has a much better feel on the screen then the Apple Stylus.  I carry
this pen with me everywhere (except when I forget it) and find its
dual functionality indispensable.
        The Telescoping110 pen from PDA Panache is my second favorite.
This is a gold pen (also available in silver) that fits into the pen
slot, but I haven't been using it much in there because it is
kinda heavy. I like it because it is a solid pen, and looks good. I
have it propped up next to my MacIIsi at home for easy access. PDA
Panache also has a MP100 pen that is equally solid in silver and
gold colors.
        The third pen is called Sensa, and is a new pen design from
WriteWare.  It can either be a pen or a stylus (not both at the same
time).  The uniqueness of this pen is that it has a grip that molds
to your fingers as you hold the pen.  I think it is an interesting
option for those that might have pain when using a writing device or
are concerned with erogonmics of writing devices. Unfortunately, the
above does not describe me, and I am pen heavy at the moment, so I
probably won't be using this pen for much longer.
        Both WriteWare and PDA Panache are advertisers in the Product and
Services area, and you can get pricing and contact information up
there.  I really appreciate the opportunity both companies have given
me in testing their products.
