Okay John that's a good start. Let's list out the evidence:
1) Public Statements:
"An Apple PDA" - SJ in response to a question about what he was glad
Apple didn't ship
2) Patents Granted:
???
3) Work Contracts:
???
4) Useful technologies kept alive for unknown purpose:
Inkwell/Jot in OS X
5) Potential crossover technologies / Domain knowledge:
VoiceOver / Universal Access (Could provide additional interface hooks
for non-keyboard/non-mouse computing.)
iPod form factor
.Mac integration
iSync
WiFi and BlueTooth
iTunes
Quicktime
Anyone want to add to this?
