Where is Einstein going?
Well, from the website, the three goals are:
1. Write a Newton emulator and understand all the hardware bindings of the
operating system
2. Port this emulator on a POSIX compatible kernel for PDAs, preferably with a
compatible processor
3. Extend the NewtonOS system to take advantage of POSIX kernel features
As far as 1, it's getting there, probably the most important hardware bindings
yet to come are serial ports and the RTC. Flash memory is working great
though, as is keyboard and the digitizer (touch screen emulation).
As far as 2, it runs on OS X for testing and Paul is working on
cross-compiling for ARM Linux.
3, well, 1 and 2 need to be worked on a bit more first :)
