Is there any reason, besides being able to dedicate adequate development resources, why the ThunderHawk browser technology couldn’t work on a Newton? By Bitstream’s own admission the client is based on easily portable, device independent code that “runs on any operating system”, the browser footprint is a measly 100KB or so, and a color display is only recommended. Sounds reasonably Newton-friendly to me. If anyone out there has the scoop on some of the client-side platform requirements, I’m available for enlightenment. I may be missing something amidst the press release rhetoric, but it looks completely feasible to scronk this thing into any handheld device — even a Newton. Must find out more.
