With the Apple MessagePad 2100 handheld computer, you no longer have to carry a heavy laptop around to keep up with your e-mail or pull information from your corporate web site.

That is because this small wonder weighs under a pound and a half, yet puts the core business applications you need--e-mail client, web browser, word processor, spreadsheet, date book, contacts, and to-do lists--at your fingertips when you are away from your desk. Its 4 megabytes of Flash memory allow you to store more names and data, create more documents, crunch more numbers, receive more e-mail, and add more applications. You can also expand the Flash memory using optional PC Cards.

With its 4 megabytes of system memory, the MessagePad 2100 provides better performance when using communications and Internet solutions, including multi-tasking. Slip a modem into one of its two PC Card slots, and you can send and receive e-mail and faxes, and connect to the Internet or an intranet.

You can even pair the MessagePad 2100 with your cellular phone or wire-less modem, and connect from virtually anywhere.

In terms of speed, the StrongARM processor in the MessagePad 2100 allows it to run incredibly fast even compared to today's PDAs.

The large backlit screen displays sharp graphics in 16 levels of gray at 100 dots per inch.

From our experience, the handwriting recognition of the MessagePad 2100 is still unmatched by any PDA available on the market today. One of the greatest blunders of all time was when Apple decided to discontinue this revolutionary piece of equipment.

The internal microphone and speaker allow you to record and play back voice notes.

Probably the best news for busy professionals on the move is that the MessagePad 2100 delivers up to 24 hours of battery life for those long flights and extended business trips.

No matter where or how you are traveling, the MessagePad 2100 is the smart choice for staying connected, and for putting critical information at your fingertips when you need it.
