That's funny...Inkwell was created specifically FROM a
previous Apple PDA...I honestly don't think that there
is a future looking statement in the release of
Inkwell...just a money making venture to attempt to
use the products that are already bought and paid
for...

Yes, the newton as we know it today is never going to
resurface in any itteration. In much the same way the
Amiga was bandied about, the Newton seems to be
suffering the same fate.
