If you’re in need of a keyboard case, ping me … I can prolly dig one up.

Or an AA tray come to think of it.

Time to start a podcast! I’ll call it FRANKBACK

I haven’t tested the unlocked version myself, but that’s because I already have a registered copy installed and don’t use my WiFi all that often. Bluetooth is just easier for sending small snippets of data to-and-fro and doesn’t drain the battery as quickly.

@Grant It’ll definitely be good to see Eckhart’s Blunt 2.0 when it hits beta. Until then, his current version of Blunt is actually pretty stable for me.

@Mr Gibson A lot of people remember them, but it’s amazing how many people see one now and wonder if it’s something new from Apple. It doesn’t have the “i” aesthetic, but they still seem undated to me.

@Mr Rubin Get on it, Dan. I’ll even help you set up your own handheld web server.

@Morgan I probably would have gone the Bluetooth route, but alas, I haven’t ventured into that tech yet myself. Sounds like the timing may be right, however, as Eckhart Köppen is making strides with his Blunt 2.0 Bluetooth protocol stack.

@Mr Benjamin I like to think I’m playing the part of Mr. Roarke in an episode of Fantasy Island that stars obsoleted hardware platforms.

@Stephen Never use the past tense. The Newton still is amazing.

@David Hiroshi open-sourced the WaveLan driver code during the Worldwide Newton Conference this past July. I know several people are looking at it, including Paul Guyot and Eckhart. A bit more information can be found in Morgan’s WWNC 2007 Roundup post.

I owned a Newton back in the day (the second model they released I think) and I loved it. Never should have sold it.
