PowerRecorder 1.0.1AboutPowerRecorder turns the Newton's power switch into a record button. PowerRecorder will give you single finger control to record voice notes without even opening the cover of your Newton. This is great when you need to record thoughts when you are in your car driving or other situations that you can't be bothered with creating a new notepad recording slip.PowerRecorder is based on time on and off. If you turn your Newton off then on or on then off within 2 seconds then PowerRecorder starts recording a voice note. The normal user action is not to turn your newton on and off every 2 seconds. PowerRecorder works like this... 1) You are driving in your car. 2) You have an idea. 3) You pull down the power switch (turns on Newton) and you pull down the power switch again (this time PowerRecorder stops the Newton from being turned off and starts recording). 4) The little Recording window is up and the next time you pull down on the power switch the recording window will close, PowerRecorder will create a new note for you with the recording, and the Newton will go back to sleep. PowerRecorder also works if you have the Newton on... 1) Your Newton Alarm Clock goes off at 6:00am. 2) You have an idea for a new project based on a dream you were having. 3) You pull down the power switch (turns off Newton) and you pull down the power switch again (this time PowerRecorder starts recording). 4) The little Recording window is up and the next time you pull down on the power switch the recording window will close, PowerRecorder will create a new note for you with the recording, and the Newton will go back to sleep.How To1.
