by real, do you mean "non-Apple"?

there aren't a lot of Newton programmers still around
who could do this sort of thing well. and I just
don't see the market. but I suppose one approach
is to
1) query users
there are > 1000 people on this list.
perhaps you could collect support from this list,
then check on comp.sys.newton.misc.
2) list specs of what's needed. for example if
X-Port is missing a few features, and you
could demonstrate that 5000 new people would pay
for it (and others for an upgrade), perhaps
Dan Rowley would be interested (if he has time).
