This sounds really cool! My only worry is that the page looks like it's not been updated in a long while- is this news current? If so, it could rock! Still, I wonder how they plan on increasing the Newt' user base by such a huge number, since the hardware ain't even being made or developed any more.
Still, this could be cool!

PS Hey ~Coxy, were we going to trade a Newt memory card for the OS 2.0 chip? If so, I'd still like to do that... if you're still willing!AppleBASIC FOREVER!

Well I am thinking that you might be able to run this new Newton software on new Palms and Handsprings, because they use the same StronARM processor as all the Newtons.Jeremy "I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon" - Pink Floyd Covert Ops

Ahhhh, I see... That'd be cool, and it'd also explain the mention of working with color screens, which (unless Apple's still keeping Newt secrets) I don't think ever came out!
I have to say, the only Newt OS upgrade I'm looking forward to trying is the 2.0 chip for my 120..... ~Coxy...... where aaaaaare yoooouuuuu.....
