No, sounds like a really neat idea ;) It would require a custom app on
the phone to send keystrokes (probably easy to do), and a "driver" for
the emulator on the Newton. That could be generic or built into the
emulator: It could read keystroke data from the Bluetooth serial port
and post them to whatever application is running, or the emulator could
use a Bluetooth link directly.
If you're really crazy and like using the phone's keypad better than
HWR, you could even try to implement T9 on the Newton...
