Thomas,
Not quite the same in that the Newton still serves a useful purpose in a modern world. The iPhone has a perfectly good functional OS, a GUI on a Unix base, with the support of thousands of programmers. I notice that nobody has stepped forth to port any version of Linux to the Newton and that would be a more worthwhile endeavor.
