Touchy-feely GUI from NeoPlanet
Published: 26 Aug 1999 07:08 BST
NeoPlanet this week launched the latest version of its Internet desktop software, which it promises will be the most touchy-feely surfing application ever made.
NeoPlanet 5.0 merges web browsing, email, instant messaging, customisable interface schemes, content channels, chat and virtual communities into a single desktop interface. It's cute, it's simple, but best of all it's free, and you can download it today from NeoPlanet's site.
Drew Cohen, CEO of NeoPlanet claims that by integrating popular features previously only available to consumers as separate applications, NeoPlanet 5.0 represents a milestone on the Internet. This claim may be just a little grandiose, but with two million NeoPlanet fans worldwide to date, the package is surely worth a look.
