Rumors Of An Apple Handheld?
I don't usually cover gadget rumors, especially those from Apple since they seem to arise almost every other week (and might end up getting you sued), but this one seemed a little to juicy to let go without comment.
As an owner of a a Newton (actually a Sharp Expert Pad - remember that?), I would love to see a new Apple handheld. Supposedly a secret development team is planning specifications for the release of a new mini laptop.
"Deep in the Apple cave these slim little mini pocketops are doing the rounds and getting a lot of great feedback. Sources who claim to have see one have commented that an internal planning spec details that the new machine runs a stripped-down flavour of Mac OS X. We're told that it will finally utilize Apple's Inkwell technology to "write anywhere" and neatly fold into your pocket."
I'd love to see one of these. Click on the headline for link. (Via O'Grady's Power Page)

I question the likelihood of this. Handhelds and PDAs seem to be on the wane generally, with bulked-up mobile phones supplanting many of their functions. This wouldn't be the time for a new offering in this space, when the space itself might not be around 10 years from now.
