Lesson /not/ Learned (Score:1)
Sad to see the same mistakes repeated. If someone wants a computing device that also works as a dumb multimedia device, Qasimo (Toshiba) already fills that, in a familiar way. (I think some Sonys can do this now, too).
If someone wants a Multimedia device that can also compute, there are several iPAQ/Palm/Motorola Phone devices that fill that side.
The mistake is that folks assume that there is a gap between the form factors, but there isn't such a gap. The people who want this form factor DID buy Newtons, and those same people won't be able to keep the new devices afloat either.
