ya know its really interesting to see how apple did the exact same thing with the iPhone iPod touch and iPad. They made 3 iPhone and iPod touches, then the iPad running iPhone OS. They made 3 MessagePads, then the eMate running Newton OS
I know this is a tired comment I'm about to make, but, really, the presenter here is a bit annoying. And what I mean by that, is that TODAY, this guy is more a geek who speaks like he's somehow so very tech savy to figure out something like this Newt, or is pretentious enough to describe the obvious. I find the marvel of all those little "additions" to be equally effingly, annoying. I tell ya... geeks today... *sigh.
Although i haven't procured a Newton of my own yet, i will say the iPod Touch is a worthy successor to the Newton if this video is anything to go by. too bad the iPod Touch doesn't have a 30-hour battery life or take AA batteries. I just wish there was a jumbo-sized iTouch (think Newton-sized), i have homer simpson fingers which makes the tiny touchscreen a bit of a pain.
the removable cover looks like the new apple smart cover for ipad 2

Apple Newton was so advanced in 1993. A great device. Maybe the first PDA in the world. But sadly it was an epic fail for 1000$.
