Frank et al,

I wonder if it could be marketed/ listed as a Newton style window  
theme for iPhones, iPod Touches, iPads & TamPods. Old Apple software  
engineers  would probably love it, but not necessarily Mr. Jobs.  I am  
not sure how one could get the Newton ROM on board, pretty sure it  
couldn't be posted in the AppStore, maybe email it or embed it into a  
webpage.

What if it were a two stage program with Newtlite being a window theme  
sort of program, and full blown Newt being the ROM upload into a  
VMware kind of EinsteinOS program  within the iPhone  OS?

Of course, I am no programer, just a dreamer.

Cheers,

Randy
