No point in trying to make any money he thought - let's just let Palm do it even though we are already doing it soooo well.

Oh well, it was the final straw in my development efforts for any Apple platform. It was enough to be insulted and denigrated by Apple in the early 90's for writing Mac games and then the Newton was axed for personal reasons.

I just wished Microsoft never gave them that $100 million and just let the f*ckers die. Now that's personal.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/08/newtons-around-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/08/newtons-around-the-world/Dec 19th 2005 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/08/newtons-around-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/08/newtons-around-the-world/Dec 19th 2005 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/08/newtons-around-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/08/newtons-around-the-world/
I'd love to get my hands on a 2100. Awesome machine.

The Newton OS is intuitive and well-designed, and for 1997 the hardware was outstanding. The two PC card slots on the 2000/2100 make it possible to have a large flash memory card in one slot and a modem card, Ethernet card, or even wireless card in the other slot. I could dial up my ISP or connect to an Ethernet network (via cable or 802.11) and check my email on my Newton long before it was practical to do so with a Palm. (And actually, it's only just recently that a wireless card came out that works with my T3.)

I've been saying for years that I wish Apple would revive the Newton -- or even sell off the technology for someone else to revive. A modernized Newton with a smaller form factor, higher-res color display, Bluetooth, and say one PC card slot and one SD slot or something would easily be the best PDA on the market.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM
