Pen-Based Computing on the Web

Pen-Based Computing is more than a monthly newsletter—it’s a complete online resource for mobile computing information. To begin with, each issue of Pen-Based Computing is available as a fully-formatted electronic document in Adobe Acrobat format.

The electronic version, known as Pen-Based Computing/Online, is available in both a single user or corporate site license. Gone are the days of dog-eared paper floating leisurely through a department.

Pen-Based Computing is also on the Worldwide Web. Currently, our site features information about the newsletter, with links to additional sources concerning the range of mobile computing technologies.

To reach our Web home page, please use the following URL:
