Apples next iphone interface

Wow I foggot how similar to the Newton the iPhone/iPad was in design terms ( row of most used apps at the bottom)

Naturally the Newton had things the iPhone/IPad doesn't ( in the OS)

• hand writing recognition
• narrow pen
• drawing recognition
•  note pad centric interface
• The agent like interface (type  Lunch with Jon thursday - guesses )
• Almost like a command line ( call bob, remind me to ... )
• Animation interface
• Use of sound
• Undo button
• Drawing tidying ( geometry recognition really nice )  
• I like the typing interface ( which I shouldn't ) 

Internally where was some nice stuff
- Ultra compressed programming language ( you got data AND functionality inheritance )
- SOUP ( nice open filling system  )
