Remember Newton? Apple-branded PDA that some say was a complete product failure, some say was an idea ahead of its time? NewtOS/Einstein now works on Nokia 770. The neat photos are here, the binaries for Einstein are here.
neat
Comment by Daryl 01.21.06 @ 12:02 pmCool, but it seems a bit pointless.
I’d like to see a port of PalmOS more.
Comment by GeneriX 01.22.06 @ 4:58 amI also would like to see some PDA functions that could make it usefull. Graffeti 1 would definitly make me buy a 770 today. Otherwise it looks like i will have to stick with the old Tungsten 2 and Graffeti 2.
Comment by George 02.02.06 @ 4:14 amVery nice - please tell me, when the combination Nokia 770 / Einstein is ready to replace my aging Newton 2100
Comment by DuChef 02.18.06 @ 1:25 amthis won’t replace your newt any time soon. The emulator is sluggish and though there are programmers trying to get it to work, the einstein and rom image of the Newton (as well as the nokia OS) eat up so much memory, it is very slow. Aside from that, you would also need either a USB driver for newt or an external IRDA to get information in and out of the machine…
