Hi all,

I was browsing Wikipedia for PDA history. As I was looking up the Newton's specs, although 320x480 is the res for a T5, T|X, Clié, etc., why was the Newton so chunky and bulky?

Because it was 12 years earlier than everything else you named? Kind of the same reason my PowerBook is a thousand times faster than the original Macintosh but considerably smaller.

I don't get the thread title? Does it mean the Newton was the size of a book or something?

Heh. My first Apple: 1 MHz

My current low end laptop: 2x2 GHz

So, that's 4 thousand times as fast in clock speed alone.
