CNET has run a comparison between the 1997
Apple Newton and a modern Windows ultra mobile PC, the Samsung Q1.
[0]Remarkably, the Newton comes off as the winner. From the article: ‘An
operating system designed for a desktop computer will rarely shoehorn
well into a portable device, yet that is exactly what Samsung has tried
to do with the Q1. Very little consideration has been given to the
differing priorities of desktop and small-form computer users. Windows is
a one-size-fits-all solution, whereas the Newton OS is very specifically
built for the efficient use of a small screen and stylus.’
