I'm as big a fan of the Newton as one can be with just having had one
for a couple of months but it's nowhere near the iPod as a music player.
I sure do wonder what the machine might be today if it had had four
years of active development and support behind it -- esp. since I really
like the "packaging" that Ive and his team are putting the toys into.
