It's that immutable green brick factor.

You have to admire Leander Kahney. He has a nose for news, especially when it relates to anything ‘of the cult’, as it were. Case in point, who would be the first group you’d survey for a reaction to the iPhone announcement? Why a bunch of Newton users, of course. What demographic would embody the emotional clamoring for a modern, multi-function, touch-screen handheld device? Why, the vociferous, jilted community of Newton users of course. Last week, Mr Kahney queried several Newton fanfolk (including yours truly) on the following topic ... “Who’d want to lug the old green brick about when they can have a shiny new iPhone?” You can probably guess the outcome. See who comes out on top in Apple Newton Versus iPhone.

We have liftoff.

After the ground-shaking, bladder-emptying, adrenaline rush of this morning’s rather interesting announcement, Mr Haughey makes an astute observation. Why is something as mundane as a product announcement so exciting and important to us? Because Apple is the new NASA, that’s why. Matt, thank you from one Apple fanboy to another. Thank you for putting into words that ethereal concept I could never seem to nail down. Go Apple, go.

The self-aggrandizing flotsam department.

Please note that the delightful pair of vociferous Mac-heads, Dan Benjamin and John Gruber make an ever so brief mention of Newton (and yours truly) in the recently unveiled Hivelogic Podcast. The first two episodes of the podcast are a casual discussion of their ideas regarding what new products might appear during the imminent Macworld keynote. Episode 1 is mostly about the possibility (or not) of an iPhone. The Newton makes an appearance around the 50'40" mark of the second episode, during the “tablet” speculation. Doesn’t that just figure?
