World Wide Newton conference
As a die hard Newton user, it's not often you have an eventful week for your PDA except for this week. The World Wide Newton Conference was held in Japan (curse the timing, I'll be passing through Japan in Spetember) and there were actually major announcements, ie:Hiroshi's wireless networking package has not only dropped the licensing cost, but been open sourced:

A replacement for the old Newton Toolkit has been developed, so you can write Newtonscript code on a modern platform:

The Einstein Newton emulator has been open sourced and improved:

The MacOs X binary for Einstein is at:

Good to see people draging the platform into the 21st century (and a special thank you to Hiroshi as I use his wirless network card driver almost every day.)
