hope springs eternal for Newton lovers
One of my favourite recurring Apple rumours is that the Newton is just about to be resurrected. It's a favourite of mine because I've been a long-time PDA user (only retiring my Palm T3 when it crashed horribly and lost all of my data), so I've long held on to the idea that Apple could do something interesting here again. Of course, now that I'm a proud iPhone user, I think that a couple of good software updates could completely meet my needs. Start with notes sync, add a to-do app, and I'm most of the way there.
The latest hopeful entry in the Newton saga comes to us courtesy of AppleInsider: Up next for Apple: the return of the Newton. Reading the story felt familiar, like wearing my favourite sweater. I sometimes wonder if the rumour sites have set up scripts to post some of their top chestnuts again on slow news days.
Is there a longer-lasting rumour than the Newton resurrection one?

I have to admit, "Return of eMate" doesn't have quite the same cachet. I've long been convinced that most rumor sites just make stuff up to increase advertising revenues from site traffic.
