	Apple Newton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apple's official name for the device was MessagePad; the term Newton was Apple's name for the operating system it used, but popular usage of the word Newton has grown to include the device and its software together.
		Newton could also recognize and clean up simple drawn shapes such as triangles, circles, and squares, and had an intuitive system for handwritten editing, such as scratching out words to be deleted, circling text to be selected, or using written carets to mark inserts.
		The Apple iPod is somewhat of a descendant of the Newton in that it is a pocket-sized programmable device based on the ARM processor.

	Isaac Newton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Newton was born in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth (at Woolsthorpe Manor), a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire.
		Newton was born prematurely, and no one expected him to live; indeed, his mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton, is reported to have said that his body at that time could have fit inside a quart mug (Bell, 1937).
		Newton was also a member of the Parliament of England from 1689 to 1690 and in 1701, but his only recorded comments were to complain about a cold draft in the chamber and request that the window be closed.

	Sir Isaac Newton: The Universal Law of Gravitation
		Finally, Newton reasoned that if the cannon projected the cannon ball with exactly the right velocity, the projectile would travel completely around the Earth, always falling in the gravitational field but never reaching the Earth, which is curving away at the same rate that the projectile falls.
		Newton concluded that the orbit of the Moon was of exactly the same nature: the Moon continuously "fell" in its path around the Earth because of the acceleration due to gravity, thus producing its orbit.
		However Newton, largely as a corollary of his 3rd Law, demonstrated that the situation actually was more symmetrical than Kepler imagined and that the Sun does not occupy a privileged postion; in the process he modified Kepler's 3rd Law.

	Chapter 3
		Newton’s scientific "breakthrough" occurred when he made a connection between two phenomena that no one had ever previously connected.
		Newton’s revolutionary laws were published in The Principia some 20 years after his brief leave from Cambridge University due to the bubonic plague.
		Newton’s ingenuity was his hypothesis that an attractive force called gravity caused both the apple to fall to the ground and the Moon to orbit the Earth.

	Apple Newton: Tutte le informazioni su Apple Newton su Encyclopedia.it
		Si può dire che Apple creò il mercato dato che il suo fu il primo PDA conosciuto dal grande pubblico, gli altri palmari in commercio prima del Newton erano considerati poco più che esperimenti tecnologici dato la loro pesantezza e difficoltà di utilizzo.
		La tecnologia Newton venne concessa anche in licenza a sviluppatori terzi che la utilizzarono per fare dispositivi intelligenti tipo cellulari evoluti.
		Il progetto Newton costava poco e non sembrava in grado nel breve periodo di ripagarsi, Apple cercò di vendere il progetto alla 3COM che con la divisione Palm cercava di realizzare un prodotto simile al Newton ma questa rifiutò.

	Newton MessagePad
		The original Newton MessagePad was the result of the Newton team, comprising of Steve Capps, Walter Smith, Michael Tchao, Gaston Bastiaens, John Sculley, and several others.
		Apple touted that one could write "Lunch with Bob tomorrow" on the screen, the MP would fill out a meeting form with the last-accessed person named Bob, tomorrow's date, and the lunch hour.
		I think the Apple community was a little hard on Trudeau though, since he often criticizes Windows 95 in favor of the Mac in his strips, and he didn't say anything that wasn't true at the time.

	Apple scraps Newton \| CNET News.com
		Introduced in 1993 as the brainchild of Apple chairman John Sculley, the hyped handheld was plagued by poor reviews that pointed to the difficulty in its handwriting recognition capabilities.
		Only last July, Newton was officially spun off as an independent subsidiary with its own management and business plan, but that was before then-CEO Gilbert Amelio was ousted from his post and later replaced by interim CEO Steve Jobs.
		At the time, Apple said it considered the eMate 300 to be "a major strategic opportunity" and that it would commit resources to the product in order to strengthen its appeal to the education market as well as a broader audience.

	Sculley's Dream: The Story Behind the Newton
		Apple had reserved a Las Vegas ballroom for the demonstration, which was to include handwriting recognition, faxing, shape recognition, and infrared beaming (something totally unprecedented in the computer world).
		Apple rented a nightclub to show off the device, which would be vying for attention from consumer electronics giants Casio and Tandy, which released the Palm Computing-developed Zoomer PDA during the show.
		Newton's launch was successful, and it was up to the rest of the world to decide whether it was a technological breakthrough or dud.

	No. 606: Newton and the Apple
		The direction the apple fell, along with every other object on this round earth, was always toward Earth's center.
		He showed us that what was true of apples and the earth was true of planets and moons as well.
		Newton told it to close friends, who also recorded it for us.

	Happy Birthday, Newton! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Though the original and later versions of the Newton ran at 20MHz, the stakes were raised significantly by the release of the Newton 2000 and 2100.
		Apple and ARM worked closely together to expand upon the ARM 710 (the processor originally targeted for the 2000, and kept for the eMate) architecture." In any event, 162MHz is plenty for a PDA and the Newton uses its speed and capabilities well.
		Apple Newton devices, for instance, are extremely capable, despite the fact that they were discontinued some five years ago.

	Wired News: Apple's Newton Just Won't Drop
		Apple finally killed the Newton in February 1998 after Steve Jobs returned to the company, even though fans demonstrated in the parking lot of Apple's Cupertino campus.
		Without any help from Apple, Newton users have kept the platform current with technological changes through a series of software hacks and hardware fixes, most of which are freely available.
		The Newton also has no headphone jack, although one can be fashioned with an inexpensive homemade dongle.

		The Apple iPod is somewhat of a descendant of the Newton in that it is a pocket-sized greyscale programmable device based on the ARM processor.
		Feeding a bit of speculation, Apple put the Newton 2.1 handwriting recognition system into Mac OS X version 10.2 (known as "Jaguar"), which can be used with any graphics tablet to seamlessly input handwritten text anywhere there was an insertion point on the screen.
		The last panel of one strip, which shows a character reading the words "egg freckles?" from his Newton [2], became an Easter egg in the Newton operating system itself (version 2.0 and earlier).

	Apple Newton and GPS
		It is important to realize that the Apple Newton was not originally designed to be used as a GPS system, a rugged data collector, or a navigational tool.
		The Newton, unlike modern devices using Windows CE and PocketPC, was built from the beginning to be a single, integrated device.
		Perhaps this is one of the reasons that Apple, never having sold the technology, recently incorporated the 5-year old Newton handwriting system into their "next-generation" operating system OS X.

		You owe it to yourself as a lover of the large format PDA the Apple Newton to read about the hands-on experience of a person using the OQO at http://www.pdahandyman.com.
		Perhaps it has in mind Apple's pioneering pen-driven Newton handheld, which was killed as much by hype-driven expectations as by its poor reading skills.
		I think it's just easier for anyone wanting to prove that they "knew" the Apple Newton was a failure before anyone else can pick up the same sign and wave it around, creating a viewpoint without ever using a Newton for themselves.

	Wired News: Apple Leaves Newton Bidder Bobbing
		Though Apple has publicly said it would entertain suitors for the Newton, the company hasn’t exactly been receptive to Planet Computing’s formal offer to buy the rights to the Newton OS on 24 March.
		If Apple were to keep it on the shelf in Cupertino, the company could consider plundering it for spare parts later.
		Planet Computing's Collins agreed that if Apple were to hold on to the Newton too long before embarking on a new mobile computing course, it would probably have a hard time rallying developers to the cause again.

	Apple-Newton Handwriting Recognition
		Despite the abysmal recognition accuracy in the first generation Newton, most Newton afficianados or people interested in handwriting recognition will tell you that the second generation, "Print Recognizer" in Newton OS 2.x was a vast improvement, offering fast and surprisingly accurate recognition.
		The core recognition technology from the Newton has gained a new lease on life in the Jaguar release of Mac OS X (10.2).
		Together with a different team of engineers I have helped integrate handwriting recognition into Mac OS X in such a way that it just works with all existing apps; i.e., applications are not required to rev in order to support ink and the routine input of text by a pen and graphics tablet.
