[NTLK] {NTLK} iPhone v. Newton 2x00

Of course there will be much debate about the virtue of the iPhone v. the
Newton 2100, and I would love to see the Einstein running on the iPhone in
full glory, but I am still in favor of the Newton for everything else. That
being said, the only thing I am missing is the capability to use my Newton
2100 as a phone (ideally a cell phone).
Ok, I can use a GSM card for wireless stuff to fax and to get on the net via
modem, but what is missing is the ability to just talk. I know I have
brought this up before, but with the iPhone, it just seem right to bring it
up again.

So let me repeat what I said on December 30, 2006:

Let's re-ask the question this way: How can I make my Newton dial a number
(using Calls) and just make a dumb connection until I manually disconnect?

The second question to that is can modify Calls to take sound in from the
interconnect port and play it through the speaker and at the same time take
sound in through the mic and pass it out through the interconnect port?
This would only then require a cell phone card with the aforementioned plug
for an earpiece and an interconnect adapter and a male/male plug to bridge
the adapter to the card.

The only custom piece here would be the interconnect adapter unless Adrianno
has a solution in place already [cocks head to side and thinks about
Adrianno's Bluetooth stuff...]
--------------

If one could make this happen, I would not need an expensive iPhone anytime
soon (like, until Einstein runs full strength on iPhone and I have $500 to
spare). I will help build the hardware if someon can help write the code...
