After seven years of collecting Newton paraphernalia, the Newton Museum is shutting down and putting its entire collection for sale on eBay.
For sale are Newtons, eMates, accessories, developer books and disks and boxed software. If you’re not familiar with the Newton, a PDA developed by Apple, read all about it here.
Meanwhile, the Worldwide Newton Association (WWNA) has announced that the 2006 Worldwide Newton Conference will be held at the Warwick Regis Hotel in downtown San Francisco Jan. 13-15, the weekend immediately following the 2006 MacWorld Conference & Expo.
The tentative conference program includes presentations by Larry Yeager, Paul Guyot, Adam Tow, and others. In addition, there will be expert panel discussions, developer sessions, “how-to” sessions, and demonstrations of the most recent developments in Newton software and hardware. Registration and the latest information can be found at the conference web site.
