Apple Comput. Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA
Abstract :
The application architecture of Newton, a technology for supporting personal digital assistants (PDAs), is described. It combines a dynamic, object-oriented language called NewtonScript with a hierarchical view system and a persistent object store. It also contains extensible subsystems for communications and user-input recognition. In addition to PDA devices, the portable implementation has been used to build supporting tools for desktop machines.<>
