The people behind Newton's visaon were thrully visionaries: they created a device that after 4 years of "death" still can be used almost effortless.
Maybe people at Apple and other shops can learn something really valuable from the Newton comunity: any device is only "as strong" as their supporters.
And by the way if any of you are actually designing the next generation of PDA, either for Sony or for Palm, please fell free to "copy" all the best points of Newton : excel handwriting recon soft, pc-card interfaces and easy of use. And mix all the new features the users hope for in a PDA naoadays : MP3 playback, color display ( maybe some extensible roolup OLED screen, for a big presentation of web pages ).
