PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Cnet did an interesting comparison: Samsung's recently released UMPC, vs. the... Apple Newton. "Fans will tell you that the Apple Newton was years ahead of its time. Ten years on we're going to put that claim to the test. We're pitting a vintage Apple Newton against the brand-new Samsung Q1 ultra-mobile PC in a head-to-head battle." What's more suprising is the winner, however.

Oh, Thanks. I wasnt sure if it was Steve Jobs (I do remember that now), If i remember correctly apple was bleeding money on so many different projects/prodcuts and Jobs had to make the call on what to keep and what to let loose.

I really believe that jobs should revive it. WebPads are getting big. I have my Nokia 770, and it is awesome (but not without flaws). This would be a great time to release a user friendly, fast, easy to use, webpad (with eReader DRM tech as well).

I agree about the Nokia 770. I've been really happy with mine. And battery life is surpisingly long. It lasted an 8 hour flight playing ripped DVDs. Active use of WiFi lowers it down to the rated 3.5 hours, though.
