                          COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

                         (Void after November 30, 2004)

General Magic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for value received,
hereby certifies that ______________, or its registered assigns (the "Registered
Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to
purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on or after the date
of issuance and on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on November 30, 200_,
____________ (_________) shares of Common Stock, of the Company, at a purchase
price of $_____ per share. The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant,
and the purchase price per share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to
the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant
Shares" and the "Purchase Price," respectively.

1.  EXERCISE.

     (a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in
part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as
Exhibit I duly executed by the Registered Holder or by the Registered Holder's
duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such
other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in
full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in
respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.

     (b) The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to pay some or all of
the Purchase Price payable upon an exercise of this Warrant by canceling all or
a portion of this Warrant. If the Registered Holder wishes to exercise this
Warrant by this method, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable (which shall in
no event exceed the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this
Warrant as set forth above), subject to adjustment under Section 2 of this
Warrant) shall be determined as follows:

             X=Y[(A-B)/A]; where

X= the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y= the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised.

A= the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock.

<PAGE>

B= the Purchase Price of one share of Common Stock.

     The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined as
follows:

          (i) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange,
     the Nasdaq National Market or another nationally recognized trading system
     (including, without limitation, the OTC Bulletin Board and, if the average
     daily trading volume for the preceding 10 days has been at least 100,000
     shares, the Pink Sheets) as of the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per
     share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the high and low
     reported sale prices per share of Common Stock thereon on the trading day
     immediately preceding the Exercise Date (provided that if no such price is
     reported on such day, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall
     be determined pursuant to clause (ii)).

          (ii) If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities
     exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or another nationally recognized
     trading system as of the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of
     Common Stock shall be deemed to be the amount most recently determined by
     the Board of Directors to represent the fair market value per share of the
     Common Stock; and, upon request of the Registered Holder, the Board of
     Directors (or a representative thereof) shall promptly notify the
     Registered Holder of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors has not made such
     a determination within the three-month period prior to the Exercise Date,
     then (A) the Board of Directors shall make a determination of the Fair
     Market Value per share of the Common Stock within 15 days of a request by
     the Registered Holder that it do so, and (B) the exercise of this Warrant
     pursuant to this subsection 1(b) shall be delayed until such determination
     is made.

     (c) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant
shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above
accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price (the "Exercise Date"). At
such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for
Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection
1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the
Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.

     (d) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in
part, and in any event within 5 business days thereafter, the Company, at its
expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the
Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

                                       2
<PAGE>

          (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant
     Shares to which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise
     (which Warrant Shares shall be registered under the Company's Registration
     Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-66126) plus, in lieu of any
     fractional share to which the Registered Holder would otherwise be
     entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 3 hereof; and

          (ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants
     (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face
     or faces thereof for the number of remaining Warrant Shares.

2.   ADJUSTMENTS.

     (a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at
any time or from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first
issued (the "Original Issue Date") effect a subdivision of the outstanding
Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time
or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the
combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective.

     (b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the
Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall
make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase
Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the
time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed,
as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase
Price then in effect by a fraction:

     (1)  the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
          Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
          issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

     (2)  the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
          Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
          issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number
          of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
          distribution;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend
is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed
therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of
business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted

                                       3
<PAGE>

pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or
distributions.

     (c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required
to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to subsections 2(a) or 2(b), the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number
of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment.

     (d) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the
Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall
make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or
other property (other than cash out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such
event provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive upon
exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company and/or cash and
other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive
had this Warrant been exercised into Common Stock on the date of such event and
had the Registered Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such
event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities
receivable, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period
under this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Registered Holder.

     (e) Adjustment for Mergers or Reorganizations, etc. If there shall occur
any reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger involving the
Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities,
cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 2(a) or
2(b)), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation
or merger, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and
amount of securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would
have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to such reorganization,
recapitalization, consolidation or merger, the Registered Holder had held the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant ("Substituted
Property"). In the event that the Company is not the acquiring or surviving
entity in such transaction, then the acquiror or survivor, at its option, may
repurchase this Warrant, effective not later than the effective date of the
acquisition, merger or other transaction, by issuing the Holder the Substituted
Property which would have been issuable if the Holder had chosen to exercise
this Warrant in full using the exercise method described in Section 1(b), above,
at the time of the repurchase.

     (f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company

                                       4
<PAGE>

at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Registered Holder a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind
and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be
exercisable and the Purchase Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written
request at any time of the Registered Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished
to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Purchase Price then
in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any,
of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the
exercise of this Warrant.

3.  FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of
this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall make an adjustment
therefor in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock, as determined pursuant to subsection 1(b) above.

4.  NOTICES OF RECORD DATE, ETC.  In the event:

     (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or
other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend
or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other
right; or of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of
the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity and its Common Stock is not converted into or
exchanged for any other securities or property), or any transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

     (b) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company,

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Registered Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date
for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior
to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

5. RESERVATION OF STOCK. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant,
such number of Warrant Shares and other securities, cash and/or property, as
from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

6. EXCHANGE OF WARRANTS. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder, properly
endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company
will issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Holder, at the Company's
expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Registered
Holder or as the Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or
faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities,
cash and/or property) then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

7. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and
(in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity
agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.

8. TRANSFERS, ETC.

     (c) Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the
Company may treat the Registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes; provided, however, that if and when this Warrant is properly assigned
in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer
hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice
to the contrary.

Warrant represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
