One line musings on Newton II

1. I want Textmate on it. If I can code on it that would make it infinitely more valuable.

2. Why the hell does the accessory base only allow for vertical viewing? It looks like you’ll be able to hook this up to an external monitor so that might help.

3. Where the hell is Graffiti, the finger version? Is it just me or would typing on this thing be awkward without the help of an accessory?

4. Oh great, yet another form factor to make sure my web apps look good and work on. I made extensive use of drag & drop in my last web app.. That won’t work with this!

5. No built-in camera means no video chat without an add on. WHY APPLE WHY!!!??

6. Tech that is going extinct:

  1. The mouse. Point & click is on its way out. To be replaced by point & touch
  2. Interacting directly with the file system
  3. Microsoft

That’s it.
