If The LaserDisc Can Make A Comeback, Then Why Can't The Apple Newton?
Once upon a time, Americans had to choose between LaserDiscs and Video Cassette Recorders (VCRs). They chose VCRs, because you couldn't record on LaserDiscs. Fast-forward 25-30 years, and Americans are giving up their VCRs in favor of LaserDiscs, albeit a smaller version we now refer to as DVDs. You still can't record on most of them, but now it doesn't seem to matter.
Similarly, the original Palm Pilot won out over the Apple Newton because you could fit it in your coat pocket. Fast-forward 10-15 years, and plain old PDA's are a thing of the past. But now a device with the form factor of the Newton could be just the ticket. Maybe Apple won't build it, maybe they will. Maybe it will be a Tablet PC, or maybe some sort of PDA operating system.
Just a thought. Funny how things work out, isn't it?
If you want to buy a house, you will have to get the personal loans. Moreover, my father always takes a car loan, which occurs to be really fast.
