So, while waiting for it I decided to revisit the original Apple PDA. This is the Apple Newton MessagePad 130. I said in the video that is it 12 or 13 years old. However, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Newton\">according to Wikipedia<\/a>, this model was released in March 1996. So, I probably bought it around then which makes it a bit over 11 years old. Although its rechargeable battery and backlight died long ago, the unit itself still works after all these years. So, click on the image above or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ORq2Cuk-jBw\">this link here<\/a> to view the short video to see the Newton in action. I&#8217;ll probably bring it back to show the Newton and iPod touch side-by-side in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Apple iPod touch is weeks away from delivery (early October at best).
