Not going to happen, IMHO. The NewtonOS core team is gone off to other
projects. Whatever apple makes; the iWalk, or whatever, the NewtonOS won't
be in any new device.

Personally I've seen quite a buzz about the Symbian (nee EPOC32) OS. More
and more devices are coming out with it and it's got a larger marketshare
in Europe than the Palm does. I don't have a *lot* of faith in Symbian,
but anything is possible...
