1 can't resist: Cool as NewtOs is, it is not the most stable PDA-OS I have come across; that honour I still reserve for EP0C on the Psion Series 3xx: I've had a Series 3a for 6 years and in all that time it didn't restart _once_. NewtOs on average seems to freeze about once a week, about on par with EP0C on the Series 5. Not too bad, but better is possible.
