[snip bunch of troll bullshit] Wow... you're a raving idiot and not afraid to show it, are you? :-D Newsflash Enistein - the iPhone is _already_ a trendsetting smash hit. Exactly how will smart phones like it fade into obscurity like the Newton did (which was merely ahead of it's time technologically, and far from the failure you try to make it out as - at least in terms of future impact)? -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Ah, Jamie., do consider how putting down a person you deem an idiot doesn't speak so highly of your good self. Larry is not an idiot, iae. Frequently annoying, perhaps, looney at times, yes, but not an idiot. -- lsmft

I have no idea what Larry's point was in making that list in the first place. Just the list of devices is a nonsensical hodge podge. The Newton was, as you pointed out, technologically ahead of its time, and I think it really was a relative marketing failure. The Palm Pilot was a smash success and basically _THE_ PDA for a good many years until competition from smart phones beat it down. The Powerbook lives on under new name, and of course Pentium II PCs were succeeded by PCs with newer processors. Of course several years from now current iPhones will be outdated. The 2015 models will not. -- Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi> Make money while saving money <http://www.bign.com/mrosenberg>
