Please do not write to the legal department. Only harm can come from that. If you must write to Tim Cook, fine, but don't expect anything.

I think that that is the way to go. Spending a huge amount of $$ for a snazzy Android Device/iOS device and then not beeing able to watch videos or listen t the music, or even make a phone call, is just right out silly.

Paul did a fantastic job far beyond emulating Newton OS. He already implemented code so that Newton OS running on Einstein can call functions in the Host OS. That means that we could write Newton OS programs that access the phone system in the Android/iOS device, or BlueTooth, or the Network.

I have started to replace Newton OS functions with my own implementation. I am working my way up from time-critical stuff until I reach the bytecode interpreter. Eventually we can replace the graphics calls. That would give us full color full resolution access to the host system while staying compatible with the old OS. 

I guess I either need another life time or get fired :-P
