I know it was in 1993, thats why I said. Newton sucked big time...while nepcker is again trying to gain some attention saying "Apple came with PDA first"
Oh, but Apple did. I don't know why you have to butt yourself into every thread with your malformed opinions, but Apple was the company to invent the first PDA. And it did not suck either. A testament to the fact is that there are hundreds of fifteen year old Newtons still working today and people are using them. These people are trying to somehow port the Newton operating system to the more sophisticated hardware of Palm devices today.
Yes, it had poor handwriting recognition. Guess what, Windows 1.0 had poor everything. Photoshop's first version came on a floppy. People used punched cards to store data before floppies. Things have to start somewhere and the Newton was a marvelous device for a first generation product. Apple wasn't into the wrong market or had a non-worthy product, they were just ahead of their time. Even the concept of computers was only just beginning to gain acceptance at that time and Apple launched an expensive device that sounded too good to be true. Plus, it had poor handwriting recognition. Palm capitalised on Apple's failure and came to the market much later with a cheaper product that did not have handwriting recognition at all. So, the device had no flaws, but it was missing the one feature that was the reason for flaws in the Newton. Later, of course, they improved upon handwriting recognition as technology evolved and came out with better PDAs and captured the market due to lack of competition and good products.
Learn your history lessons before you start commenting on public forums. Or better still, don't comment at all.

Not that there was any doubt about it. They basically clear everything that is shoved under their nose, but anyway, it's all ready to be shipped now.
