Re: [NTLK] Who says there's no Mac tablet?

Nice toy, but unfortunately, Mac Tablet does not equal Newton. The Newton as a platform I believe will never be revived by Apple...While parts of the Newton will make it's way into other Mac platforms, the Newton Intelligence that makes the Newton what a Newton is, will most likely never be repeated by Apple, and since they still hold the patents/licenses for this technology and *refuse* to allow others more willing to go that route, it is doubtful that anything will be manufactured using Newton Intelligence....and that makes me sad.
