Interesting point.
After all the discussions, all of merit, yet another worth consideration.
I guess that if you had your Newton with you and didn't have your cell
phone then it would make perfect sense to use the Newton as a phone and
as you say the space is even correct!
Assuming the above to be a valid premiss, then what would be the real-
world chances of getting a Newton to emulate what a cell phone does? I
have no idea, just wondering if it would even be within the realm of
possibility. Obviously some type of a card would be needed, but would
such an animal even exist ? Then how'd you do all the coding to make
the hardware and the software actually work? Who know, perhaps there
was a provision made in the original design that ended up in production
somehow whereby this could become a reality ?
In any event, not being an engineer [I only play one on TV] I would not
even have a glimmer of a clue as to the feasibility of this wishful
thinking but I'm sure this topic has come up before.
It is "possible" ?
Oh yah, sorry, forgot my first rule. Anything is possible ;-)
What's the bottom line?
