There is also - I think more compellingly - a
_marketing argument.
Newtons are not per se particularly profitable. But
newton accessories are _very profitable. This is why
we still can get write writes, styli, and even cables.
A dongle means at least one more part to sell (the
dongle) and then any and sundry cables, gender
changers, null modem adaptors...
I am actually suprised if apple no longer manufactures
or sells connectivity cables, power cables, batteries
for the newton. Those were the profitable items.

Assassination, torture, secret trials, indefinite arrest without warrant or notice to one's family, restrictions of the right to counsel, military tribunals and restrictions of the press in the name of "national security" are the hallmarks of dictatorship.
