I certainly agree. It's lamentable that Jobs just doesn't seem to get it.
The EXISTING MP2100, updated to modern (i.e., smaller) components would, I'm
sure, have a footprint only a tiny bit larger than the screen. If Jobs
would just spend five minutes looking at Newt prices on eBay! Apple would
sell a boatload, without adding any capabilities. Oh well, we've had *this*
discussion many times before...
