New Pocket-Sized Power Tool Arms You for Macworld Expo – Get Your
Palm OS(TM) Interactive Show Guide
Macworld Expo show attendees power-up their pockets with this
innovative Palm OS quick reference to exhibitors, booths, agendas,
and workshops plus bonus catalog of key handheld solutions from show
exhibitors and leading software providers
SEATTLE, WA, July 16, 1999 – Palmtop Publishing today introduced the
created by Macintosh (R) Macworld Expo Pocket Trade Show Guide for
3Com’s (NASDAQ: COMS) Palm OS. It is filled with show-going
essentials, fun tidbits, and special offers for reference, learning,
fun, and to help you make most of Macworld Expo, July 20 – 23 at the
Jacob Javtiz Convention Center in NY.
“This easy to use and informative guide is a handy pocket tool that
spans or combines several technologies”, exclaims Trina Clickner,
Founder and President of Palmtop Publishing and sponsor of the
Macworld pocket show guide. “The Macworld Expo Show Guide is
particularly delightful in part because within one or two taps you’ve
got the show information you need. Also because you can amuse
yourself with the playful Macworld dice, your horoscope for the week,
and the bonus interactive catalogs full of must-have hardware and
software add-ons from leading Palm OS developers.”
While Macintosh-friendly Palm solutions have been noticably few, this
handy show guide was created with nothing BUT Macintosh-based
products – a Macintosh 7300, AppleWorks(R), and Eudora(R) mail. On
the handheld, the show guide is powered by OnTap(TM) Technology, a
three-year, proven, petite, and incredibly powerful and flexible
pocket publishing toolkit from Aegean Associates, Inc., an expert
embedded software firm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The show guide
runs on all versions of the Palm OS and is ready for downloading from
http://www.palmtoppublishing.com/macworld.
The original concept for Clickner’s pioneering, pocket publishing
work began while she was working in Apple Computer’s (NASDAQ: APPL)
Newton Division. While her proposed platform independent,
internet-based authoring tool concept met with less than enthusiastic
response at the time, Clickner persevered. In collaboration with
Aegean Associates, Inc., OnTap(TM) was launched in 1996, focusing on
the then new and now wildly successful Palm Computing Platform® –
instead of the Apple Newton and eMates, as originally planned.
This delightful pocket show guide and treasure map, created by
Macintosh for Macworld Expo, is free and it runs on all versions of
the Palm OS. Download it from
