Newton Connection For Mac

I have a Newton and Inkwell seems almost exactly like it (although it's been a while since I have used it.) That's the neat thing about the RISC chip that was in the Newton. The same software could be recompiled for the Mac. I'm sure that they have made some improvements, but that gave them a good starting point. It's almost always easier to use existing code than to write from scratch.

I think that Inkwell is a sign of things to come (an Inkwell 'Newton' Based Cell Phone -who wants to run with that rumor. I'm a reliable source. I had a Newton. Don't know if they ported the Newton code or not. That was designed for an entirely different processor (StrongARM), and most of the team has been dispersed.

But I.hope. they did! Yes, the original Newton was a joke (I owned one), but once they gave it decent computing power (Newton 2000/2100), it was EXTRAORDINARILY accurate. Fast enough that I could take notes in meetings in realtime. I wish some Palm licensee would build a PalmOS device with the Newton's form factor.

(Okay, a bit thinner.) I miss it. My understanding is that Rosetta is the same HWR system sa used on the NNewton.

As a new Newton user I am very impressed with both. One interesting thing is that the Newton HWR supports cursive as well as a few other options. Inkwell and an article from Wired mag. Prompted me to look into the Newton and yes, it is 5 yrs.

Old but it is still the best PDA on the market with support for ATA PCMCIA cards, Ethernet, 802.11b, Streaming MP3 support, Web server, DB and productivity apps, Sherlock support, voice recording, Text to speech, OS X sync., great battery life, a good user community, and the best HWR system on the market. The new tablets are a joke!

Worth the $170. More interesting things: - An application doc - 'Genie' effects into the trash can.
