Have you registered for WWNC 2009 yet?
If you haven't registered yet, you'd better get moving since WWNC 2009 starts on July 31st! What? You don't know what WWNC 2009 is? It's the WorldWide Newton Conference, and it's planned for July 31st through August 2nd in Vancouver, B.C. Lest you think that the Newton platform is a Dead Parrot, you should be aware that there is still a vital community of Newton enthusiasts.

As sad as it sounds, I haven't booted any of my Newtii in a year. I loved my MP2100 (got a HELL of a deal on that one) and I had a blast with the eMate, but the Zodiac and then the iPhone kind of diminished their capacity to me. And I haven't kept up with the state of the platform on NewtonTalk for much longer. While I'm keeping everything, I can't say that I'm going to be doing anything...
On the other hand, I must say that soup-based data storage was THE SHIZNIT. Having every bit of data essentially accessible to every application was great. (Just the whole "address book dates add to date book automatically" was cool.)

The Newton is dead. Let it go. iPhone/iPod Touch has taken over it is time to move on.
