Two Newtons can send and receive information between each other (although I think there are limitations between 1.0 & 2.0), but a Newton doesn’t know what to do when trying to talk with a PC, late 90’s PDA, or modern smartphone.

"Nitro adds the TinyTP, IrCOMM and IrOBEX missing layers via a Newton OS Communication Tool… "Neo installs three OBEX transports (one for Bluetooth, one for IrDA, one for TCP/IP) which can be used to send and receive objects in the same manner as any other transport (e.g. email)…” They work, but there are limitations. Neo can only send/receive text based information. Eckhart had planned to add more capability for Neo, but the project was never finished. Even if you did find a smartphone with IrOBEX support sending packages won’t be possible.
