I dunno. There's a big assumption there that even if the iWalk
is real it will be better than the Newton. Using our own peculiar
definition of "better", that is. Those of us who still use Newtons
obviously don't consider color screens, mp3-playback, or
current-production-and-support to be compelling reasons to switch to
something else. I mean, any modern WinCE machine has color and mp3
playback. Anything currently in production has, obviously, manufacturer
support. And still we keep using our Newtons because they do what we
need them to do better than anything else out there. Why should a new
Apple PDA be any different? Why should it be better than a Newton?
Because it's made by Apple? Given their track record, I don't think so.
