My friend Martin once gave me a special edition of Apples Newton. It was transparent so you could see all the internal stuff. Very cool. I managed to drop it, unfortunately, so I got to see all the internals first hand 🙁 Wish I still had it. To this day I have still not seen any PDA with the same features that the Newton had. For one thing, how come they still don’t have an auto correct feature in the drawing programs? If you drew a circle on the Newton, it automatically corrected it to make it into a real circle. No bitmapped image but vectorized. Perfect for people like me who couldn’t draw a straight line at gunpoint.
But for me, PDAs is a closed chapter, I want that functionality in my car phone ala the SonyEricsson p900.

I have another one of those transparent Newtons.
Let me know and I’ll bring it on my next trip to Sweden…
