Re: CNET UK: Newton vs iPhone

      NCU worked, though none of the packages I downloaded to the PB  
1400 would install.  (NIE files would install, but would not work  
when tapped.)  The 130 backs up via NCU, and I did a restore after  
losing the ability to get into the 'Extras' folder following attempts  
to load packages.
      My next question is:  Are there any 130 users out there who  
would be willing to share what they can and can't do with their  
Newts?  I would be happy with dial-up e-mail, e-books, and a few  
other apps (scientific & financial calculator & Small Talk). If  
anyone has experiences or insight to share on theses items, I'd be  
grateful.

What, they're not comparable? As if too much string theory couldn't get you confused as well.

Re: sad news (ignore the biased "commenters")

" It was so close I could taste it," he said in his posting. "Two weeks ago we were ready to publicly launch the
CrunchPad. The device was stable enough for a demo. It went hours without crashing. We could even let
people play with the device themselves - the user interface was intuitive enough that people "got it"
without any instructions. And the look of pure joy on the handful of outsiders who had used it made the
nearly 1.5 year effort completely worth it.""

	I'd say touch up the interface and release anyway.  Sure Christmas would have been nice, but there will
always be geeks wanting a page sized readable format.  That would be excellent.  I would use that for reading
pdf files and comic book files around the house.

	As it is now I have to take my laptop, turn the display, and I have keyboard off to one side... what a mess...

Use an iPhone as a Newton keyboard

Via the  <at> newtontalk Twitter feed ...

Jesus Alvarez has posted information (and software) that turns a  
jailbroken iPhone (or iPod touch) into a tethered Newton keyboard.

http://namedfork.net/iphone/newtonkbd

So cool.

Try this page from the Internet Archive:

The download links all seem to work correctly.

Sorry for broken form mailer on pda-soft.de

Hi folks,

I've just noticed that www.pda-soft.de/email.html did not survive my recent quarrels with 1&1 which
made it necessary to move my web site to another provider. This means that all mails that were sent
from this page within about the last three months never made it to my inbox. Sorry for this.

If you notice anything else with pda-soft.de that seems unusual, please do not hesitate to let me
know.

Thanks

Frank

Whoa yeah... That video was neat. Great proof of concept. Now it needs  
to go to the next level.

Does this mean direct sync'ing and maybe backups to an iPhone would be  
possible, using a variation of NCX?

Oh Simon...

I was going to suggest that ;-)

Seriously, thanks for that reminder!

NOTE TO SELF (AGAIN): When you're having problems with Mail V (as I  
have been these past couple months) deleting the Mail V setups and  
starting with new ones can fix problems. Especially when you've edited  
the setups over and over. Guess what I'll be doing next.
