Can't wait until a full port of this is done - but then what? What happens to things the Newton never supported like - COLOR?

Its a shame that you need a newton to pull the rom from, I don't have the cash to go buying a used Newton to just have on hand just to try it out.
But, still very cool progress, it's great to see the development happen!

A few questions for you, if you don't mind:
1. Is root access required to run this?
2. How does it install? Does it go through the application manager like all of the other 770 apps?
3. Is it hard to extract the required ROM from the Newton?
4. Will you be making this available for download?
The Newton was awesome, it was just about 4-5 years ahead of it's time. I still have all of my Newtons laying around, I was really into them for years. I have the original MP100 (classic design), the clear-case, limited edition MP110, the MP2000, the Motorola Marco (wireless), and the eMate 300. I even have every piece of original packaging and all accessories (boxes, manuals, etc.) for every device, and it is all still in pristine condition.

WTF? I'm offline for a few measly hours and you've transgendered your 770!

OMP stands for Original Message Pad. I sold my Newton MP130, MP 110, (2) eMate 300's and my wife's OMP on eBay, back in the day. Then I saw an OMP on eBay that was going to sell for $5 and I bid $12 for it, and won it.
I guess (probably) you are saying that the user must own an MP 2000 to use this?

2 - It's tricky. You have to kill the Matchbox window manager and anything else you can to free up ram. then you run it from a ssh session.
3. No, once you have bootstrapped the newton- that is, gotten it to the point where you can run the Dock application and install the Dump application.... if you don't have a Mac with an old serial/appletalk port this is tricky.
4 - Einstein for Nokia is already available by the author: http://www.kallisys.com/newton/einstein/
Check my blog for a detailed directions on how I ran it.

sad day when an obsolete newton is more available than a linux machine..
can you say "too geek to believe?"

transgendered doesn't even come close. this is a whole 'nother species..

[LINK: http://www.kallisys.com/newton/einstein/] Kallisys` Paul Guyot, who
ported Einstein on the Zaurus, has also successfully created a version for
the Maemo platform, which runs on the Nokia 770. [LINK:
http://www.dillernet.com/apple/2006/01/18/a-new-era-dawns/] Andy Diller
was lucky enough to try it out on his 770 and [LINK:
http://homepage.mac.com/dillera/PhotoAlbum6.html] posted some pictures.
Interestingly, Paul just released another version of Einstein, this time
for the Pepper Pad. Some pics [LINK:

PUN ALERT!
The 770 was NEWTered.
The HWR does do something- it's translating it to something.
