New documentary pays tribute to Apple's Newton PDA and the people who love it

Love Notes to Newton (Preview) from Noah Leon on Vimeo.

A lot of the features we enjoy on smartphones and tablets came from PDA's (Personal Digital Assistants) like the PalmPilot. PDA's owe a lot to Apple's Newton, a mobile computer that captured a lot of hearts and loyal users even if it was derided for failing at writing recognition. Still, this was Apple innovation at its finest. A fearless and fun to use personal device that resonated with users to such a degree they are still using them today. Love Notes to Newton is a cool, nostalgic look at a landmark product which was the first to be killed of when Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997.
