iNewton?
I have been saving away to get a new 3G iphone, but an article struck me with its possibilities which is making me consider waiting a few months. Not to mention that New Zealands iPhone plans are the MOST expensive in the world.
I know its merely speculation but Macrumors.com has a post about upcoming releases from Apple that made me think. An apple PDA? Well it would make sense as they made such a hoopla over MS Exchange support and how business people were complaining about the first gen iPhone. Also by then they should have some serious data apps built on the platform that could enable PDA type people to do PDA type things. Also seeing the huge response and profits Apple has been seeing with the iPhone it would make sense to branch this off and try a PDA again, seeing they almost invented the market with the Newton.
Why would I want a PDA? Well I’m more interested in the apps I can build on the Iphone and if a PDA could be expected to be that bit more grunty (read – powerful) then Im all for it, plus I find it hard to leave the laptop, so a PDA might be my answer. So waiting a few month if nothing else might see public pressure on the NZ iPhone plans make prices drop, or it means I just get an iPhone later rather than sooner. *sigh* off to the emulator under XCode I go.
too funny. I actually call my iPod touch, “iNewton”
There’s no music on it, it’s for email, web browsing, and video.
My only complaint, is wifi is limiting. no wifi, and the iNewton is adrift with no connection.
But as a PDA it works well. It keeps my omniFocus tasks up to date, and I can put new ones in to sync over MobileMe later.
if there is to be an iNewton (I wish they’d use that name, but know Stevy will never let that be), it could use a bit more screen.
Hey John, yeah I agree about the screen size. Ill let you know in september if it exists or not
