Eckhart Köppen talks Newton with NY Times
August 20th, 2009The New York Times’s Tech Talk podcast talked with Newton savior and Y2010 bug squasher Eckhart Köppen on avoiding Newtpocalypse, how the Newton stays relevant, and how to find a MessagePad or eMate.
It’s a great (but short) interview, and helps spread the Newton virus into the world at large.
“It is a device that does what it has to do. I keep most of my information on there,” Köppen says of his Newton. “It’s always there, and it’s really practical.”
Köppen brags about the Newton’s battery life, which is excellent, and about its data reliability.
“You don’t have to worry about your stuff when it’s on the Newton,” he says. “It keeps track of your stuff as you need it, when you need it.”
And hey, I learned that Köppen works for Nokia.
