An early build is available for download, but a lot of work still needs to be done to optimize the speed and reliability. Now Matthias is working on an Android port of Einstein (4). Unfortunately Apple rejected Einstein from being released in the App store and the iOS port is no longer being developed (3). 2011 has been particularly exciting because Matthias ported Einstein over to the iOS platform giving users the potential to run Newton OS on their iPhones and iPads. Since 2007 Matthias has continued to work on Einstein to improve its speed, reliability, and functionality. Once such programmer was Matthias Melcher (2). In 2007 Einstein was released as open source software so other programmers could join in and help bring Newton OS to new devices. Unfortunately the project never got past the emulator step, but Paul continued to working and was able to build Einstein to run on OS X, Windows, and a few Linux tablets like the Nokia 770/800. That was going to open the way for new hardware and therefore keep the Newton platform alive. The original concept was to come up with a solution to make the Newton operating system hardware independent and possibly license the OS from Apple (1). Back in 2005 Paul Guyot, a well-known and respected Newton programmer, released the first public version of his Newton emulator called Einstein. For all of those Newton Users who have an Android device, you can now run the Einstein emulator. Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wish there was a way to use my Newton on my phone or tablet?” Well now you can. ![]() ![]() Just watch:Ĭontinue reading “Newton Networking On-The-Go” Author Tony Posted on FebruCategories Android, Newton, Software Tags Android, Newton, root, tether, wireless Leave a comment on Newton Networking On-The-Go IM Chatting with a Newton To prove how easy this product it I’m going to demonstrate on an Apple Newton 2000 MessagePad. How much would you be willing to pay for a product like this? $20? $50? $100? Now for an unlimited time you can have Wifi Tether 3.1 Beta 11 for the low price of $0.00. Now with WiFi Tether you can turn your mobile phone into a mobile wifi hotspot and allow any wireless device to connect on the go. What if I told you there was a way? A way to surf the Internet anywhere there is a cellular signal?

Sound doesn’t work, there is no way to set data in or out, and the app menu needs to fix for 4.0+ devices. There are still some things to fix in Einstein. I could see an Android tablet with Einstein replacing my beloved green machine one day. the Screen reaction seems to be a little slower than the real thing but given time can only improve. ![]() The emulator is feels like it is running at about 90% the speed of my Newton 2000u. This week he released an updated version of the Android version of the emulator that included many improvements that increased the speed considerably.Īfter using the new release on both my Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 I have to agree with the claims. ![]() Matthias is the current maintainer of Einstein, the Newton Message Pad emulator. This week Matthias Melcher deserves a huge “Great Job” from everyone. As an active Apple Newton user, I love it when fellow users continue finding ways to improve the platform.
