NewtonTalkThirty years ago today, Apple announced the #MessagePad 130, the first #NewtonOS device to offer a transflective LCD display with electroluminescent backlighting.
Grant HutchinsonJust arrived from Japan!
I hope the floppy still works.
Thirty one years ago today, Apple announced the availability of the Newton #MessagePad 120, with “enhanced features.”
Update: I found it!
Attention #AppleNewton users … does anyone happen to have a copy of Enfour’s Japanese Newton Language Kit (NLK)?
It was made available to #MessagePad owners running the Japanese version of #NewtonOS.
Not sure if was a download of on CD. Even an exported copy of the packages would suffice.
Boosts welcome.

Where's the #AppleNewton #MessagePad?! I know everyone calls it a failure, but where would the Palm, iPhone, or iPad have existed without it?
UNNAAs of now, you may also access the UNNA.org sites via #HTTPS in addition to standard #HTTP!
Go ahead, try it out:
Newfangled, huh!
Don't worry, we're not taking away the venerable HTTP connectivity, nor will we be automatically redirecting any connections to HTTPS. After all, we need to be able to connect from our #AppleNewton #MessagePad and #eMate!

Oh, just typing a quick note out on my #appleNewton #messagePad
Twenty eight years ago today, Apple released the #MessagePad 2100, the last device created for the Newton platform. It would be discontinued less than four months later, along with all remaining Newton development.

@Eggfreckles @splorp @masukomi Hey now, I had a 1GB CF card in my #AppleNewton #MessagePad 2100. Way more than one and a half songs! That said, the #ATA drivers were _sloooow_, so it was about one and a half hours per song to transfer them to the CF card.
