Re: [NTLK] Welcome back Newton - iPhone interface

        Would a singular vendor have these to try out?

          My BIGGEST gripe with the iPod, and my current phone is that it cannot take notes. If notes could somehow be taken, and there is a "note" option on the iPhone, then that would be berries for me. I might actually buy this.

       Especially if you can download a MP3 in under 15 minutes. :P

I appreciate your enthusiasm, and although the iPhone will hold your
contacts and your appointments, there was nothing shown yesterday
that resembled a PDA. Maybe it is inside, but Steve did not show or
mention anything. At a width of less than 3 inches, writing on this
keyboard will probably be a big pain in the neck anyways.

The screen seems to be designed specifically for finger use. I am not
sure if a pen will work with it well or at all. What you can't see
(unless you watch the keynote), is the ease with which his fingers
glide over the touchscreen, scrolling the phone book like it is on a
rubber band.

Ah well, I guess we'll have to wait until June to give the final
verdict ;-)
