The CompuServe introductory membership is also available to all customers who have previously purchased Mobile Access. From LAN Magazine:
"Products of the Year are LAN Magazine editors' choice awards. Qualifying for consideration for Products of the Year is deceptively simple for manufacturers. Companies do not have to fill out forms or be nominated.
"The only requirements for Products of the Year: A manufacturer must have introduced or updated the product in 1993; the product must be great. Products of the Year recognizes the efforts of the product manufacturers." (LAN Magazine, February 1994 pg. 41).
Notable is the leading developer of communications software for the new generation of mobile computing devices. Its communications strategies will go beyond current pen-based systems to incorporate other smaller, cheaper, portable devices now being designed worldwide.
With offices in Oakland and Foster City, Notable is dedicated to creating easy-to-use, easy-to-learn software, empowering mobile professionals to more effectively communicate and interact, as well as access and organize information efficiently.
