Newton, the un-dead... Just looking at this slideshow showing Einstein, a Newton emulator, on a Nokia 770 webpad, brings back some memories. What if someone will one day build hardware specifically for running Einstein? Would there finally be a PDA worth the term "Personal Digital Assistant" again?
Of course by now, requirements for a PDA have changed drastically. WiFi and GPRS connections as well as Bluetooth are a must, so is decent music and video playback and: Support for a colour screen. Actually, I think only Apple could fulfill my PDA dreams. Newton OS 3 or something of the kind. Although it'd probably be called the "iPod pro", since "Newton" isn't exactly Steve's baby. ;) - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 16:37 [article link]
