I just wish Apple would stop naming all of its portable devices "iXxxxx." If they're so creative, they can certainly come up with a new naming convention. Maybe name it after a different species of apple? Like the "Apple Granny Smith" or "Pink Lady" or "Braeburn"
Wasn't the Newton the predecessor to the Palm Pilot, which is still going strong now in the form of cell phones?
Apple's stuff has always been ahead of its time. The Apple II was the first PC in widespread use. I still remember the highlight of one summer in the 80s as a kid playing Karateka on a friend's Apple IIe with COLOR MONITOR!! Heady stuff.
The only thing I have against Apple is that I can't afford a lot of their stuff. I'd love to have an iPhone, but am not willing to re-distribute enough discretionary income to get one.
