Newton MP2K vs. Samsung Q1 UMPC cnet.co.uk has a 10 round battle between the devices, and the good old Newton wins. :) ... Sure, it might not really be fair to kick the UMPC's nether regions with the old man's battery life, but hey: It certainly _does_ count. While I personally wouldn't really consider switching from my Nokia Communicator 9500 back to a Newton device, I have to admit that if I try to imagine where Newton could be today, had its development never been halted, I can only laugh at what PDAs/smartphones we have today. It certainly died an untimely death in 1997. Maybe one of the things Steve Jobs _should_ have reconsidered at some point... - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 03:26 [article link]
