This is a very well done (spoof?) Newton site

I tell you what, a Newton-iPod crossover machine would sell .

 

[MultiFinder]

I wonder if that really is a spoof or not...

I don't think it's a spoof, it's been there for ages, and the newton can play MP3, so why not.

 

[paws]

Yeah, I think it's genuine?

I came across it by accident on a trawl through what Google brought up on a search for something or other Newton related.

Of course it's a spoof, and all the better a spoof because it is technically just about possible to make a Newton do it. Why you would want to listen to your mp3s on that little speaker is another question.

You can use headphones?

It is for real...I installed it on my UMP2000, with the ATA CF mod, so I could get the songs to fit. Yes, you had to encode at a very low rate, and yes, that speaker is not that great.

Regarding headphones, a couple of people hacked their newts to put head phones in (the eMate actually has a headphone jack).

The biggest obstacle for most people now is you need iTunes for OS 9, IIRC.

again - no spoof.

i had my newton syncing over wifi with itunes 2.0 using os9.2.2 and my g3 ibook.

i never could get the mp3s to actually play anymore than a second or so. but the software works, and it was kinda cool seeing a wee newton in the itunes window. i have a 20mb card - so never saw the point in taking it further once i got it basically working.

fun tho

Roll on the ATA drivers.

If anyone needs this, good ole internet archive:

Welcome to the iTunes Newton Plug-in Pages

Wow, this brought back some memories. I played with the Mad Max MP3 player and I had some cards with MP3 files I set up years ago, but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how I got the files there. I more than likely had this working at one time.

I’ve loaded MP3 files (and various images) onto my MessagePad 2100 using the binary server module from the Newton Personal Data Sharing web server suite.

Here’s a walk-through of the process:
