As a daily user of the Newton to this day, it's still the best of all the handheld devices for taking to meetings and taking notes. It's probably the last device to really challenge what we do with computers and why we do them the way we do - which is probably why people *still* don't get it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tony Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 13th 2008 8:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Worst Gadgets of All Time 12]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-12/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-12/</guid><description><![CDATA[I totally agree with the previous post, you have this all wrong, the Newton was LOVED by apple customers. We thought this was an amazing piece of equipment and "some" of the features it has are far superior to current PDAs.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 13th 2008 8:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Worst Gadgets of All Time 12]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-12/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-12/</guid><description><![CDATA[i agree with you, the most important feature is that it have an apple logo]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Unknown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 31st 2008 5:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Worst Gadgets of All Time 12]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-12/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-12/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was a fantastic device, well ahead of its time when Microsoft machines were still giant tan boxes with green screens.

I have never been able to comprehend Apple's rationale behind their navigation and applications.  Computers, Newton, iPod and now the iPhone ..... it seems I have to pay highly for design yet I can never learn how to use them properly.  So I stay clear of them. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alvaro Covarrubias]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 7:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Worst Gadgets of All Time 12]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-12/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/the-worst-gadgets-of-all-time-12/</guid><description><![CDATA[I loved my newton. I used it for my business every day. I took notes at meetings, I faxed from my cell. I wrote out contracts and invoices etc. It was great for a person who was always  out of town.... smaller than a lap top!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[G.

Apple dropping the Newton is the 2nd biggest mistake they ever made. (Not licensing their OS was No. 1). All the handhelds would all be Apples right now and it was way ahead of it's time. Unless you actually used one and used it for personal use and business..then you have no clue what you are talking about. As the first poster said...even today it is the best PDA out there...and trying to wrote "the" is about as simplistic as it gets..you could actually wtire on it "schedule a meeting with Joe at noon tomorrow" and it would insert a meeting into your schedule for tomorrows date and put in all the information about Joe from your rolodex into the meeting alos...and it all ran on 2 AA batteries.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff Knight]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 1:03PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
