[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

[boontohumanity]

"Newton talks to fax machines" "Jeez... are you sure you should hang around someone like that?"

[zen0dotus]

Newton looks like Michael Madsen with wings.

[ddntps]

I had a Newton 2000 - an extraordinary machine. By then, the handwriting recognition was remarkably good. Pity Doonesbury didn't revisit it.

[belfastflyer]

Had a mid-range Newton, loved it. Shame about the lack of software.

[SidsRetroMacs]

sounds like the what is ipad commercial

[jellypuppies]

Old I pad

[Shanesan]

iPad = Newton 2.0

[munnsie100]

[alexc3895]

It's interesting to see how this is very similar to today's "What is iPad?" commercial.

[d1995a3]

@alexc3895 yup!

[320k]

@alexc3895 You're right: I just watched the What is iPad? video

Newton talks to fax machines and laser printers iPhone and iPad don't Apple, isn't it time to catch up with Newton?

[bjeah]

@Guntis77 : Newton even lets you beam files directly from one device to another wirelessly, and without third party apps. Seriously.. With all the current wireless technologies currently available, why won't iOS do this?

[tomas693]

@Guntis77 Hey, there's an app for doing that, except the fax. Just trying to use an advertising Apple line

[jack390]

@Guntis77 lol your right...their going to release an update that would allow ipad (not sure for iphone) to allow wireless printing :)

[EweToobUsername]

@jack390 the AirPrint thing covers the iPhone and iPod Touch along with the iPad. Even then, there's been printing apps for iOS devices for a while, but they either cost like $20 or were printer-specific.

[ISJHman44]

@Guntis77 actually they do now becuse im a dev

[HybridCore93]

My grandfather!

[appleAddict240872]

[VasilijmadeinUSRR]

[TumblingT]

I love the newton!!! (But it sure does eat up batteries... =P)

[fairyheli2]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaah why do all computer stuff now days depend on the internet when their isn't a readilly free supply? the 90's was better, at least the newton could email anyware and didn't have a subscribed service for it.

[imanerd36]

I loved the 90's

[Tito0096]

[thepyrodudeau]

[mockstoday]

[tpn14]

iPod Touch=Newton 2.0; iPhone=Newton 2.0 with a Phone

[Gonzc900Productions]

[M4st3rm1nd]

Apple's newton was a massive failure and was the object of ridicule in the computing world

[quiksilver712]

[qwertymac93]

iphone=newton 2.0

[Evanmileus]

i heard theat thing was a huge disaster

[iPodClassic]

Newton was not a disaster it was so far ahead of its time people where afraid to use it.

[Evanmileus]

iPod: comercial disaster; it didnt sell well.

[urzokmx]

LOL!!!!!!!!! oooh man u r funny!

[Evanmileus]

urcokmx: i dont know why im funny. lol. but it didnt sell well thats a fact. it was pretty cool, and i would have bought one, but i was like 4 when it came out. lol

[urzokmx]

sorry!!! Maybe i lost, You mean that the iPod or the newton was a commercial disaster??

[Evanmileus]

when i said iPod: comercial disaster, the "iPod" was just an abbreviation for that guys account "iPodClassic". the iPod was NOT what i was talking about. lol.

[vuetube]

NewTON is a handheld boat anchor. NewTON is a dangerous weapon. NewTON could eat several Palm's. NewTON is to the iPhone, what 'Lisa' was to the Macintosh!
