actually....Apple did make a PDA....They just never released it..

Jobs stated that he is proud not only of the products Apple has shipped, but also the products Apple has decided not to ship. When asked to elaborate, Jobs replied, "an Apple PDA."

Actually I wasn't talking about the Newton. I believe that SJ was talking about the speculated new PDA.

Jobs said recenatly that he didn't want to go down the PDA route, because PDAs and phones are mergeing together, and he said Apple doesn't want to go into phones right now.
