Nearest thing now would be an iPod, it has calendar, notes etc. Only thing is you can't input directly, it copies over from your mac to read on the iPod. But like Eriamjh said, they used to doe the Newton, as a PDA, and the eMate, as a mini laptop version of it.

Rumors are circulating about a tablet PC by Apple, and they certainly have several patents to back that up. They're also looking for handwriting recognition experts...
All signs point to an Apple tablet, which will, of course, rock our cocks off.

I thought you were full of **** about Apple looking for handwriting recognition experts... I stand happily corrected.

Are you passionate about providing handwriting solutions to end customers? Do you strongly believe that using a stylus and a tablet is the way to interact with computers?
Apple Handwriting Recognition team is seeking an engineer who will be responsible for advancing gesture and handwriting recognition on Mac OS X. The ideal candidate will be an expert in the area of pattern recognition, with an excellent understanding of handwriting recognition issues. The person will also assume primary responsibility for maintaining existing code and tools.
PhD or a minimum of 5 years experience
I love my Tungsten C, but if Apple came out with something comparable that can actually understand that when I write a "c", I don't mean "e" or "g", I would buy it in a heart beat. The only reason I didn't buy a T5 was because, for me, Graffiti sucks and the C's built-in keyboard is the only way I can accurately input text.

Yeah. Despite the initial disaster that was the Newton, it eventually evolved into what apparently was actually a very good PDA, with very good handwriting recognition skills. I'd love to see them build on that with an Apple tablet.
