Is there a developer out there who could make a software allowing DJ-
style mixing of music tracks on the Newton? Currently, not even the
iPod offers this, except one must purchase a second piece of hardware
(and a second iPod) for an additional several hundred US$. But on a
Newton, it would ideally be self-contained, have audio output (using
the dongle?), and the big screen (in landscape) would be great for
showing two virtual turntables spinning the two songs, fading tracks
in and out, add "scratching" the needles, etc.
This alone might spur a whole new interest in the Newton from
younger owners, and maybe force Apple to resurrect the platform (or
subsume it into the iPod family).
Any takers willing to develop this? It's assumed the hardware
memory capacity would be able to handle this, I don't know.
