Newted Community membership fee increases.

It’s one of those things that you really don’t want to have to do, but sometimes it’s inevitable. Due to the rising costs of providing the services of this site, I have decided that I must start charging for basic Newted Community Associate-level membership and also raise the price of the Founders level membership. This … More

The Newties are annual awards celebrating the best Newton-related software releases, upgrades, hardware hacks, web sites, and personalities our little old green-bleeding … More

Newtons Around The World gallery update.

And just over a month later, it happens all over again… What am I yammering about? Why, the fact that the Newtons Around The World gallery has once more been updated with a brand-spanking new batch of digitally procured images. A round of well-deserved applause for this past months contributors: Ben McCorkle, John Charlton, Paul … More

New article in the Soupbox.

The intriguingly titled Confessions of a Newton Junkie documents one man’s recollections of why the Newton is a very personal and unique device. Rick Ludwig tells all in this brand new article for the Newted Community Soupbox.

Newtons Around The World gallery update.

Well, looky there. The Newtons Around The World gallery has been blessed with a new crop of images, many from first-time contributors. A big whack of the mitts for contributors Sam Gerstein, Claudio Guzman, William Heavenor, Ben McCorkle, Ross Olson, Anthony Velasco and the digitally unstoppable John Charlton.

It’s all about us.

Don’t worry, it’s nothing major. Just that the about page has been tweaked, preened, and otherwise tidied up a bit. Not much has changed, but I did correct a couple of historical inaccuracies that managed to sneak through the otherwise rigorous proof-reading process we have implemented here at Newted Community central.

Message board topic consolidation.

The newly renamed (and hopefully more logical in the grand scheme of things) MessagePad 110/120/130 Support topic is now available for … More

Now with lemony-fresh syndication.

Guess what kids? I finally got around to hooking up the Blogger-powered RSS feed for the Newted News. Now anyone with a half decent news aggregator can slurp down the latest updates about what’s happening in the Newted Community.
