The Newton O.S. Creeps Toward New Hardware

Posted by timothy on from the hypothetically dept.

GraWil writes "As previously reported, the Apple Newton refuses to die! The Worldwide Newton Conference 2004 has wrapped up (photos) and, thanks to Paul Guyot, there is real hope for an emulator. His talk, titled 'Newton never dies, It only gets new hardware,' describes and shows the Einstein Emulator, that will eventually allow the Newton OS to be built and run on top of Unix. Will your next Linux PDA boot Newton OS next year?"

  1. Jobs can't understand it by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Most apple users, if Steve tells them that up is down and black is white, they will not only believe it, they will come on slash dot and explain why everybody else is wrong and Jobs/Apple is always smarter and righter than anyone else.

    Along comes the Newton users and they ignore Jobs. He can't handle that.

    BTW, how soon before Jobs dies from his cancer?
