I hope that the Newton community can thwart the ROMs from becoming available
on Warez sites just so that Einstein can go on as planned. This will create
demand though for both working AND non-working MP2000/2100 units (and
eMates) so people can legally own one of the ROMs.
I was considering a 770, but the lack of removable storage, and good PIM out
of the box make it no good for now. I think Nokia is pulling an Apple move
making an internet tablet and then slowly adding functionality, so they are
not marketing a PDA per-se, but it can function as on. I hope they continue
to make more internet tablets and not can the development like they did with
the n-gage.
I am looking forward to improvements in Eistein and color in the OS :)
