Re: [NTLK] The day the Newton died it's final death...

In short, give it a rev or 2.

Mind, industrious hackers will have this puppy doing things it was
never intended to very shortly after release, is my guess. Look at
iPod Linux.

http://ipodlinux.org

Personally, though, I'm pretty entranced by what I've seen the iPhone
do just during the Stevenote (I was there...it was really impressive
in person). And at least the price-point and the SDK are fixable w/o
even altering anything about the device as it currently stands.

I'll probably hold out for proper 3+G speeds and some more storage at
least before biting, but the rest will come, and even if they come
after I get one, most of the features are in software anyway. ;)

And *some* really motivated developer will find a way to shoehorn
Inkwell in. I have some faith in that. Not all of us share His
Steveness' disdain for stylii, after all.

Just some thoughts!
