General Magic
A software company based in Mountain View, California. Products released in 1994
after four years in development include: Telescript - a communications-oriented
programming language; Magic Cap - an OOPS designed for PDAs; and a new, third
generation GUI. Motorola's Envoy, due for release in the third quarter of 1994,
will use Magic Cap as its OS.
What PostScript did for cross-platform, device-independent documents, Telescript
aims to do for cross-platform, network-independent messaging. Telescript
protects programmers from many of the complexities of network protocols.
Competitors for Magic Cap include Microsoft's Windows for Pens/Winpad, PenPoint,
Apple Computer's Newton Intelligence and GEOS by GeoWorks.
