What is a SmartApplet?
A SmartApplet is a software application you can install on your Neo.
Neo comes preconfigured with these SmartApplets: AlphaWord Plus,
Calculator, Control Panel, Beamer, KeyWords, and AlphaQuiz.
Additional SmartApplets, such as Co:Writer, are available from
AlphaSmart and other developers. After you purchase one of these
add-on SmartApplets, you install them on your computer, then use
AlphaSmart Manager to transfer them onto your Neo.
