        <description><![CDATA[Yeah it may have been a bomb. But as one of the first PDA's, with handwriting recognition and other goodies, it paved the way for the whole PDA genre.Apple gave me a Newton to use in 1995 while I was in college. I had to return it in 6 months with a summary of my thoughts.I loved it. I could use it to take notes in class (once it learned how to recognize my handwriting), store all my contacts, use the calculator, calendar and such.I believe people may have expected more from it then what it was designed for. It wasn't a Blackberry or iPhone, but for 1995 (with nothing to compare it to) it rocked!]]></description>
