If you go by Steve Capps comments, no they aren't:

According to him, if there is any resemblance Apple does now to what has
been
done before, it is only really obvious or coincidence.

Thanks to the Newton, Apple has a very high standard to live up to. I
don't know if they are even attempting it.

By now, we should be experienced with Apple enough to know that
whatever is announced (if anything _is_ announced) that it won't be
anything like what we are expecting. And by anything, I mean it. It
will probably be a living room appliance, designed to work with the
AppleTV, and not go out of the house, or something else nobody is
expecting. Don't get your hopes up for a tablet like we think of, or a
new Newton. It just ain't gonna happen.

BTW, if a netbook is too big for what you want, a tablet probably is
too. That's what iPhones and Pres are for. ;-)
