[1 - Greetings - Win Something from NextUp!]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Hello from NextUp.com!

Hope everyone is doing well.  Thanks as always to all of you who purchase our products and stay tuned to our newsletters...we appreciate it!  Congratulations to Steven (Rio 600) and Rey (Clipmate software), our contest winners last month.  We're starting to think about Spring here so this month we'll give away a great NextUp.com golf shirt to one lucky reader.

[2 - New Version 1.26 Update Released for WeatherAloud - Get It Now!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
These days it's nice to know more than just the weather outside your door, so WeatherAloud brings you forecasts from other cities and regions you select from around the world.  This new update adds an important feature to support zip codes for US cities.  Under Show Global Locations, if you choose US for the region WeatherAloud now simply asks you for the zip code.  It can then retrieve from any zip code in the US, and add that zip code to your MyCities list.  Those of you who have been contacting us about more locations will want to check this out for sure as it adds a LOT more US reporting stations.

It's a free upgrade to all of you who already purchased an earlier version.  Download now from

Those who haven't purchased can download and try the program and then if you like it, purchase for only $19.95 at

[5 - Tip of the Month -  Check Out Reviews on the Latest MP3 Hardware]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
We get a lot of folks asking our recommendations on which MP3 players to buy.  It really depends on what your needs are so we thought we'd pass on a couple of really nice reviews covering the range of hardware now out there.

>From PC World, check out this one

There's also a really good one on CNET

We picked a few that looked neat to us and included them in our other products section below.  So if you're looking to buy one of those please click through our links and see what Amazon.com has to offer.

The native clipboard in Windows is great for cutting and pasting a single item at a time, but if you want to move a series of items, or save items for later use, then you need ClipMate! Rather than working with one piece of clipboard data at a time, ClipMate enhances the native clipboard functionality by remembering all items (both text and graphic) that are copied to the clipboard and storing them in "collections" for later pasting. With ClipMate as your Windows companion, you'll turn the clipboard into a powerful productivity tool.

The SONICblue Rio S50 has 128MB, supports both MP3 and WMA, and has an integrated FM radio tuner, clock, and stopwatch.  We love the Rio players so for $169 with a $20 rebate somebody here will probably grab one

The RipFlash 128MB Digital Voice Recorder and MP3 Player/Recorder looks like a neat unit.  With that small size, the voice recorder capability and the $138 price it looks to be a hit with business people, students and more

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000066HOH/nextuptechnologi

We've always loved the Nomad MP3 players from Creative Labs.  For listening to text and a little music too, it's hard to beat the Nomad IIc 64MB which plays both MP3 and WMA files and costs just $94

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006F6ZI/nextuptechnologi

If you have $499 to spend and want the coolest player around, try the Apple iPod for Windows and get one for us while you're at it ;)
