Apple iWalk: Mac OS-X based PDA?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the holy-cow-that-looks-sweet dept.

Per Wigren noted that SpyMac claims to have pictures of the iWalk, the mysterious secret project scheduled to be announced any time now. It is apparently something between a subnotebook and a PDA running a scaled down OSX. Supposedly it can be a portable MP3 player, and it has apple's airport stuff built in. CT Nope. They announced the iPod instead, a lame MP3 player.

  1. Good to see Apple re-entering the PDA marketplace by UltraBot2K1 · · Score: 0, Troll
    We all know that Apple invented and perfected the GUI a decade before Microsoft Windows became useable. What fewer may remember is that Apple invented the PDA as well, in the form of the Newton. The Newton had everything you could want in a PDA, including handwriting recongntion, and was out a good 5 years before the Palm even began to take off. Unfortunately, Apple once again found itself ahead of the time.


    Hopefully, this time the public will be smart enough to recognize Apple's genius before it's too late.
