What development products are available for Geos?
Geoworks wrote several SDK’s as Geos evolved. Version 2.0 supported the desktop, Zoomer, and Sharp PT-9000 (a preview of a pen-based tablet PC/PDA). Version 2.1 emulated the HP OmniGo 100/120. With the release of the Nokia 9000, Geoworks created three versions of the Communicator SDK: a DOS-based 9000 version, a DOS-based 9000i version (for the GSM model), and an NT-based 9000i version. The latest version is an NT-based 9110 SDK. The SDK’s require Borland C/C++ 3.1 or higher (version 4.5 for the 9110 SDK). Geoworks transfered the 2.x SDK’s to NewDeal, and has discontinued the 9000 SDK’s. The 9000i SDK is included in the 9110 SDK CD-ROM, though. The 9110 SDK was marketed by Nokia. NewDeal sold off the 2.x SDK’s. MyTurn started a developer’s program for those who wished to code applications for its GlobalPC, which is now closed. Geoworks Bindery is an application for creating electronic “books” that can be read by a Book Reader on NDO or the OmniGo. It functions very much like Adobe Acro

Only the 9110 SDK is currently marketed by Geoworks. It might sell the remaining stock of 9000 SDK’s to those who are still interested; ask the Geoworks people. • Geos 2.x SDK – For NDO, the Casio/Tandy/AST Zoomer, and HP OmniGo 100/120 (http://www.newdealinc.com/devrel) • Geos 3.0 SDK – For the Nokia 9000, 9000i, and 9110 Communicator’s (http://www.geoworks.com/DevRel/New/n9000dev.html) Geoworks Bindery is an application for creating elect
