[NTLK] FW: [OT] New iPhones/iPhone OS 3.0

Ed

Fascinating memoir.

I've always been interested in PenPoint and the EO. Googling for reviews draws
very little. I'd be interested in your views on what it was like, did it do
HWR, I understand that it worked on a paper diary paradigm complete with tabs
running down the side, was that well implemented. You've touched on some of its
strengths but what were its annoyances? In your view, why didn't it survive?

Thanks in advance

Tony.

[snip]Then I got the AT&T EO 440. This was the best thing in the world at the
time...It's notebook idea was genius. Create a book, and populate that book with
documents created by other applications. It didn't matter what applications, the
documents they create were cataloged inside that book you created and the
applications opened seamlessly as if they were part of that book!. I had the OKI
900 cellphone attachment and felt that there was nothing I couldn't do with this
thing! Sure it was bulky, But compared to what alternative? A Kaypro
transportable? [snip]

There were PDAs before the Newton, just without much of the functionality of the
Newton.
