A few questions for you, if you don't mind:

1. Is root access required to run this?

2. How does it install? Does it go through the application manager like all of the other 770 apps?

3. Is it hard to extract the required ROM from the Newton?

4. Will you be making this available for download?
1 - yes
2 - It's tricky. You have to kill the Matchbox window manager and anything else you can to free up ram. then you run it from a ssh session.
3. No, once you have bootstrapped the newton- that is, gotten it to the point where you can run the Dock application and install the Dump application.... if you don't have a Mac with an old serial/appletalk port this is tricky.
4 - Einstein for Nokia is already available by the author: http://www.kallisys.com/newton/einstein/

Check my blog for a detailed directions on how I ran it.
