you are probably right about that. but maybe since a part of their demographic was either too young to even be aware of the fiasco or not even born yet. many other potential buyers would never even make the association with the original device. then again if apple does use the newton name apply would probably play up they are re-inventing the past. a back in time ad theme?
for the record i was joking about using the newton moniker. it's not apple's style anyway.
