Newton iPod

What drives these Newton owners? (I have one plugged in my office I can't bear to throw away that the kids will occasionally play with.)

These guys are trying to create an iPod Newton with the goal of synching iTunes music onto two 5 Gig (Total 10) ATA PCMCIA cards. Newton treats storage like "soup" so chip memory and PCMCIA memory are all added together as one virtual memory space.

With no spinning drives, you will supposedly get a lot longer battery life. The RISC processor in the my Newton always seemed to chew up battery power... perhaps it is all just a joke.
