Apple's NewtonOS from a Developer Perspective

Download Einstein Here

Overview

Apple developed the Newton, the precursor to all modern PDAs, in the early 90's. It was far ahead of its time, and it failed badly due to circumstances that are widely discussed and documented. I am fascinated by the Newton system, so here are some pages written 25 years after initial development, that will try to recreate the experince.

Useful pages are currently :

• download and install Einstein, the multi platform Newton Emulator
• introduction to NTK, the Newton Toolkit, an integrated developer environment for writing NewtonScript code

Highly recommended:

• Love Notes form the Newton, an absolutely must-see really well done documentary about everything Newton by Noah Leon.
