Apple Developing New Palmtop Mac?

According to Powerpage, Apple has in the works a palmtop computer, or mini laptop.

Sources who claim to have see one have commented to the PowerPage that an internal planning spec details that the new machines runs a stripped-down flavor of Mac OS X. We're told that it will finally utilize Apple's Inkwell technology to "write anywhere" and neatly fold into your pocket - rather like an enlarged Motorola RAZR V3 mobile phone with a keyboard.



Despite PowerPage's recent legal troubles, their rumor accuracy has been variable.

Seems highly unlikely... I think the time for those devices has come and gone, and won't return any time soon.

It'd be nice to not have to buy an OQO.

Is Inkwell used anywhere else?

Is Inkwell used anywhere else?


I recently purchased a graphics tablet, and when it's plugged in, I have the option of enabling Inkwell. Of course, at a desk with a keyboard, it's much easier just to type, especially because Inkwell is not too easy to use (though easier than the standard Palm text squigglies).

Something like the Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy (the e-book they show in the trailer) would be pretty cool!

iWalk? iNewton? iBook Mini? Mini Book?

Pffffft I don't have any enthusiasm for this 'rumor' what so ever.

I'm torn on this news. On one hand I think it's a cool idea. I've always liked PDAs and their potential, espeically if you combine this with Apple's newfound love of Motorola.... :)

However these devices aren't nearly as hot as they used to be. However Blackberries are doing well so maybe it's a variation on that theme?

PowerPage has a history of putting bogus leads up to drive traffic to the site. As much as I would love to have a pocket-sized Mac it ain't gonna happen.

I had a palm ( visor neo) and a pocket pc,(toshiba 7 something) both of them last about 2 months before i just gave up.... their nice but on the pee-cee side of it it stinks. if i had in on my mac and had it sync with ical that would be nice, but i don't have loads of stuff in ical either.
