Netscape Releases Communicator 4.7
by Dave Murphy
ISSN 1535-3613

Netscape released today the awaited new version of its Communicator browser. The new version includes features that allows consumers to access a shopping portal with one click.

Communicator 4.7, currently available online, includes a Shop@Netscape button, a feature of Netscape parent America Online Inc.'s program to expand its commerce plan across brands by linking users with merchants, news and specials, and themed merchandising.

New keyword technology also allows users to type "Shop" along with a category name like shoes into the URL locator, and be taken directly to that section of the Shop@Netscape page.

The new version of Communicator also includes an updated version of Netscape Radio, which rebroadcasts content from the Spinner music site and provides links to artists and music groups through the Netscape Music section of NetCenter.

Netscape Communicator 4.7 includes Navigator, Messenger, Composer, AOL Instant Messenger 3.0, Netscape Radio, RealPlayer G2, Winamp (Windows only), PalmPilot Synch tools (Windows only), plus multimedia plug-ins. 56 bit standard encryption and 128 bit strong encryption versions are available, depending on your download location.
