Mum Tries Out Newton OS 2.1 (1997) is the 152nd episode in the OSFirstTimer series.

Description[edit | edit source]

In this episode, Diana will be trying out Newton OS 2.1 for the Apple Newton Messagepad 2100 released in 1997. This device was a PDA and ridiculously expensive as we point out in the video. It was discontinued only a few months later in 1998 due to it's high price and poor handwriting recognition. The device was primarily for note taking but it did include some other apps as well, including third party games and additional software.
