Theoretically yes, but you still need to install additional software on the
Newton for it to work. This is commonly known as the "bootstrapping" problem.
Quick description and what to do about it is located in the Wiki:

Basicially, you'll have to get a serial cable or meetup with a fellow Newton
user who can beam you Neo, Nitro, and IC/VC - with these three packages
installed you can beam packages from Windows to your Newton.
