Einstein night at Apple Store Ginza

Newton users, take note. Next Wednesday, May 31st will be "Einstein night" at Apple Store Ginza from 7 to 8pm.

What's "Einstein?" It's the Newton OS emulator Developed for Linux-based PDAs, developed by Paul Guyot. Paul will be on hand in Ginza to demonstrate Einstein, answer your questions and discuss the future of the project. As Steve himself once said, the soul of the Macintosh is not the hardware used to run it, but in the software. The same is true of the Newt. Let us know if you attend (and if you get any cool pictures of your Sharp Zaurus running the Newton OS).

Newton OS on a Nokia 770

Following Paul Guyot's release of Einstein, the Newton emulator for Linux-based PDAs, the race has been on to get it running on different devices. At last week's Worldwide Newton Conference, Paul gave a demo using a Sharp Zaurus, and today, Andy Diller has got it working on his Nokia 770. Very cool! The existing Newtons will eventually stop working, so it's great to see this taking shape. Remember, if you have a Linux-based PDA with X11 support, you can (most likely) run the Newton OS.

Good work, Andy!

Update: Paul has made the Nokia 770 binaries available.

The Newton OS on non-Apple hardware

The big news out of the Worldwide Newton Conference this weekend is that Paul Guyot has successfully gotten the Newton OS up and running on a Sharp Zaurus. This emulation project is called "Einstein," and a beta is available for download today. If you have a Linux-based PDA with X11 support, you can run the Newton OS! You can view the slides from Paul's presentation online [link:PDF]

As Steve said, the soul of the Macintosh is not the hardware used to run it, but in the software. The same is true of the Newt. The project is still very much a beta, so don't expect your Sharp to function just as your 2100 does. Still, this is quite a feat. Well done, Paul!
