Rig of the Day: Intel meets StrongARM

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jan 20th, 2006



With both the Macworld Expo and the Worldwide Newton Conference wrapping up ealier this month, I thought this shot was entirely appropriate. An Intel-powered MacBook Pro and its remote flank a Newton 2100. It's nice to see these distant cousins getting along so well. I've often jokingly said that my own 2100 is "...the size of a baby dolphin," and seeing this one in relation to the Apple remote only confirms its size (hint: get a lot of cargo pants).

The Newton OS on non-Apple hardware

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jan 15th, 2006

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!

Worldwide Newton Conference begins today

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jan 13th, 2006

The Macworld Expo is coming to a close in San Francisco, but that doesn't mean that the fun is over. The Worldwide Newton Conference begins three days of workshops, information sessions and keynote speeches today. Scheduled activities include a workshop on creating Newton fonts, an update on the Einstein Newton emulator by Paul Guyot and keynote speeches by Larry Yaeger (Technical Lead in the development of the handwriting recognition system behind the Newton PDAs and Mac OS X's Inkwell) and James Joaquin, who will present a brief history of Newton development, among others.

If you're attending, drop us a line! We'd love to have your photos and/or reports.
