I agree with a number of comments from Newbies about the value of this
thread. it is always really useful to know what experienced users are
doing with their Newts and what they find useful pieces of software. I
am interested to read about the hardware speed increase option - up to
220MHz. I think that the Newt is an excellent PDA/ handheld computer
(having used lots of Palms, Clies and PPC machines), but I do think
that it would really benefit from an increase in its overall speed.
This is especially so when writing on it - I freely admit to having the
worst handwriting in the known universe but the Newt gets it rights
pretty much 80% of the time if a little slowly at times. Has anyone had
their machine upgraded to 220 and if so where did they have it done and
any feedback.
As for the lack of internal RAM. I would love one of you technical
wizards to come up with a way to increase it to something closer to the
current crop of machines. I have used the Nexio from Samsung and think
that a Newt with that kind of speed and memory would be a killer
machine. I would pay very, very good money to have the Nexio power with
the Newt OS.
Cheers
Dave
