FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 26, 1997
Re: Announcement of MoreInfo 5.0 - Linked Information
Haverhill, Mass. - SilverWARE officially announced today MoreInfo 5.0 for the Newton MessagePad. This is a major upgrade of its award winning integrated contact manager and scheduling application. MoreInfo 5.0 is a powerful applicat which seamlessly extends the Newton's built-in applications making the Newton a true contact manager. MoreInfo adds these features in such a way that when using it, you will not know where the built-in features end and MoreInfo begins. MoreInfo has been designed to anticipate your every move and provide you with the vital information you need to manage your numerous contacts and busy schedule.
This 5.0 version brings many new features to this already powerful application. MoreInfo continues its reputation of providing unique, state of the art features by now allowing users to display a graphical view of a week's meetings and events. This view allows users to easily find available time slots and schedule new meetings. It also allows rescheduling of existing items by simply dragging them. Also new to the product is the Day-by-Day view which groups all of a days meetings, events, to-dos and calls in an easy to read format. Users can quickly switch between the Day-by-Day view and At a Glance's partitioned view. The partitioned view breaks up the display into three sections; 1) meetings and events, 2) to-dos and 3) calls. New to this version is a fourth partition, Notes. Now, users can display notes within the At a Glance view based on several different criteria (an example might be the need to access a frequently used note). This note could then be set to always appear in the At a Glance Notes section. Users can also display in this section all of the notes linked to items that appear in the three other sections.
MoreInfo has further enhanced its to-do slip in several exciting ways. A to-do task can now be assigned a deadline which can then be used to monitor ongoing to-dos. An alarm can then be assigned to a to-do relative to its deadline. For instance one might need to be alarmed the day before an item's deadline. The to-do slip now also keeps track of its original due date. Since incomplete to-dos are rolled over, it is very valuable to know the original date the to-do first appeared on your to-do list.
MoreInfo's logging feature has been greatly enhanced as well. MoreInfo now allows the automatic logging of sent e-mails and faxes so that a log of every item sent to a person can be saved. If one were to fax a note to a person, a log entry for the person would be created with a link to the faxed note. This is, of course, in addition to MoreInfo's current logging feature of meetings, events and to-dos. This new version now allows those items to be logged automatically, to be logged when a prompt is confirmed or to be logged at a later time.
Each feature in MoreInfo 4.0 was carefully reviewed for improvements. Enhanceme and new features can be found virtually throughout the product. Even MoreInfo's internal linking mechanism has been redesigned so that links are in no way effected by the future location of an item (different card or store). With MoreInfo 5.0, there is no reason to worry if a link will be effected after a restore from a backup or after moving your data to a different card. This new linking architecture is independent of this. Included with the 5.0 upgrade is a data updater which updates all of the links to this new, more powerful format.
Just a few of the many new features are:
* Improved At a Glance screen. Now allows one tap creation of new items.
* Zooming in on a day via a single tap within the At a Glance screen.
* Customized filters in At a Glance that allow compound filtering.
* New "Print Spec" screen for At a Glance.
* Ability to record a custom sound which can then be used as an individual alarm sound or can be made available as a global alarm sound.
* Improved interface for the customization of pop-up lists.
* Enhanced "New Card" slip.
* Enhanced link management (Powerful Break Links screen).
* New "Quiet" utility.
* Ability to convert from one item to another in meeting, event, to-do and call slips.
* Default folder assignments for new items.
* Support of gray scale.
* Additional keyboard and keyboard shortcut support.
* Many, many new preferences.
This new version continues to integrate with PowerNames, SilverWARE's other best selling product. MoreInfo 5.0 also integrates well with its FlightRecorder program, which allows users to easily schedule plane flights and have them appear in the built-in Date Book.
Pricing & Availability
MoreInfo 5.0 is scheduled to ship September 8th and will retail for $84.95 plus shipping and handling. Registered users can upgrade for $25. Users who purchased the 4.0 version after June 1st will be upgraded free. Users can purchase the product at the current price now through September 7th and receive the 5.0 upgrade for free.
Users upgrading from 4.0 can simply download the 5.0 demo version and then contact SilverWARE for an access code. A demo version of MoreInfo 5.0 will be available on our web site, America Online and CompuServe shortly after the product is released. This demo will be fully functional for a period of 30 days. The 30 day demo period will operate for all users, even those who have previously tried the product or who are currently using 4.0. Because MoreInfo is contains many more features than can be detailed here, you are encouraged to try it and explore the many features for yourself. The demo includes a short tutorial, which will walk you through all of MoreInfo's key features. We are convinced that once you try MoreInfo you will agree that it is the best contact manager for the Newton. MoreInfo won BEST NEWTON SOFTWARE in this year's Reader's Choice Award by mobilis magazine. Those interested in the product can contact SilverWARE directly or their local Newton dealer.
System Requirements
MoreInfo 5.0 has a minimum memory requirement of approximately 625K of free storage space. MoreInfo 5.0 will be released in four parts; MoreInfo, MoreInfo Prefs, At a Glance and Quiet. The upgrade will also contain an additional package, MoreInfo 5.0 Data Updater to be used by those upgrading from 4.0. MoreInfo 5.0 requires Newton 2.1 operating system. Currently the MP2000 and the e-Mate 300 use the 2.1 operating system.
SilverWARE was the first to introduce the concept of linking additional information to the Newton. It announced MoreInfo in July 1994 and shipped at MacWorld Boston in August 1994. MoreInfo's extensive features and ease of use make it a must for every Newton user. SilverWARE is also the same company that brought you the Newton utility, PowerNames, a companion product to MoreInfo. A full working demo of PowerNames 2.1 is also available on our web site, America Online and CompuServe. For more information contact:
