Apple Newton to be reborn as iPhone case

You'd have to add an audio clip from Monty Python:

"She turned me into a newt!"

;-)

this is retarded and indicative of how brainwashed "devout mac users" can be. They like the "shell case" of a 10 year-old product?? give me a break. talk about lingering lost-cause interests. on that note...i liked that droid (the complete opposite of the outdated newton) I saw earlier, but w/e skype works for me.

I would love to see this guy pair it with one of the special iPhone styli just for posterity and nostalgia.

I have a Newton MessagePad 2100 that I still use daily, and the screen of the MessagePad 2x00 is much larger than an entire iPhone. A custom made iPhone sized Newton case (which is what the picture appears to be, based on the proportions) would be awesome, especially if it held an iPhone stylus, but using an actual Newton as an iPhone case would be impossible (unless you don't care if it looks poorly hacked together).

I guess you could treat an iPad to the eMate 300 shell as well?

Apparently Charles has too much time on his hands.

This is a really silly project!

Not much of a challenge.

It'd be more interesting to put a new, little, AppleTV in there, with a screen.

Upon seeing this, Steve Jobs threw up a little in his mouth.

That's just awesome.

The MessagePad 2000 was so far ahead of its time when it came out. And with a cellular PCMCIA card and some software, it could have been a smartphone before smartphones even existed.

Yawn....
