Well, that kinda puts a big damper on my Tribute to Newton video.
With my presentation in just two weeks, I don't think that this will
happen. I suppose I can use this video done by someone else:

http://podcasting.gcsu.edu/4DCGI/Podcasting/GCSU/Episodes/13869/5393.mp4

.... it does show what I wanted the audience to see: Newton as a
precursor to the mLearning hardware we have today and those we will
likely see in the near future (still ahead of the curve in many ways).

As well, I won't even get into iTunes for the Newrton:

http://www.pixell.net/doppler/newton/ (still available)

Unfortunately, it doesn't support iTunes 4.9 which is where and when
Podcasting support was added. Anyone know of a Newton app that
serves as an RSS Aggregator for Podcast channels/episodes?
