OnTap Technology lets anyone, anywhere, using any computer (Mac, Windows, Unix,...) instantly create interactive, information-based applications that are simple to deploy and support on any Palm OS device.

Background

Shortly after the launch of the original Pilot 1000 and Pilot 5000 in 1996, OnTap Technology was introduced, bringing professional, pocket publishing to the Palm OS. OnTap was the first commercial application to use industry-standard HTML commands to allow easy creation of interactive, polished information-based applications using bold, fonts, underline, and interactive, hypertext linking. Today, OnTap is the proven choice to create and deliver professional, interactive pocket publications for the Palm OS.

OnTap Technology is brought to you by Aegean Associates, Inc., experts in embedded systems development since 1990.

Clients and Publications

OnTap addresses the needs of publishers like New World Technologies and Affinity Publishing, businesses like the California Transit Authority, E*TRADE, and Ziff Davis, and VARs and systems integrators like Palmtop Publishing (reseller pricing, onsite server, embedded, and consulting services) and enables them to easily customize the handheld to meet specific communications and business objectives. We also offer our own pocket publications for individual and business reference (Stock, Quick Ref, Carols, Cookbook, etc).

How OnTap Works

OnTap Technology's unique client/server approach enables information and database publishing from any computing platform. The fact that there is nothing new to install on the desktop makes it easy to deploy OnTap broadly with virtually no support burden in a distributed, mixed computing environment.
