I give you my nuclear vote on that one...

But it's not like it's not a new idea. 

Im sure a Newton version is probably sitting 
somewhere in a cd on a shelf!

But which OS? Palm, Linux or PPC?

Truely, im amazed at the gps solutions for PPC and
Palms (a bit less given their LIMITED GUI and pain to
manage files). I haven't tried symbian (Psyon) but 
that's the dilema too for the developper. 

Also it would be one more battle front for RunRev to
handle. They do have lots of bugzillas to handle still.

But it would be cool!
