Comment WWNC more interesting than Macworld Expo SF (Score 1) 125

I went to the WWNC yesterday just for an hour to see the Einstein session (NewtonOS on ARM Linux) and I must admit, that I was highly impressed. I used the Newton from before the beginning (Sharp Newton!) up to the Newton Messagepad 2100. Then I switched to PalmOS, because I wanted a smaller form factor and now to PocketPC (Windows Mobile 2003 and 5) for the VGA screen and possibility of running VoIP clients (Skype, SIP). But every day I use PalmOS and PocketPC, I wonder how it is possible that a 10 year old device like the Newton2100 works so much better than anything I have today. So if I have a chance to run NewtonOS on any modern SMALL device, I will do it in an instant. BTW: I have some coverage of the WWNC (and Macworld Expo SF) on my blog at http://teddythebear.blogspot.com/
