Think Retro: An iPhone in Newton's clothing?

Last week, the vice president of design for Lenovo, the company which a decade ago bought IBM’s computer division, floated the idea (http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/retro-thinkpad-time-machine/) of creating a computer which is both thoroughly modern and yet which “embraces the original design details [of 1992’s 700c] in the strongest way possible.” Basically, he wants to make a retro ThinkPad with modern guts, and he wants to know if you’d buy it.</p><p>
Unsurprisingly, this idea appeals to me a great deal, and it got me thinking about one of my favorite bits of Apple hardware, the Newton MessagePad.</p><p>
