Apple during its existence it has developed a number of remarkable products that have been written in golden letters in its history or in the history of technology in general. One of them is undoubtedly the Newton MessagePad, which can be called with a clear conscience a kind of predecessor of today's iPhones. And it is this legendary product that I put on myself Apple drew considerable attention in the 25s, today is his 2th birthday. Precisely on August 1993, XNUMX, Newton enjoyed his debut on store shelves. How about making his birthday today a little more pleasant with a few lines about his "life"?

If there's one thing that can be said about Newton, it's that he was probably the most unfairly maligned product in history. Applu. From its very beginning, it had a very good chance of becoming a phenomenon in the world. Steve Jobs But after returning to the company, he saw it differently and killed it without mercy. But we are already getting ahead of that in this story. The beginning of this product dates back a few years earlier.
The father of Newton was engineer Steve Sakoman, who started working on its prototype back in 1987. Even then, he wanted to give this product functions that were almost unheard of at the time. For example, can you imagine that in the late eighties, this engineer wanted to enable Newton to communicate with its surroundings using an infrared port, or wanted to teach it to recognize handwriting? Although it may have sounded like wishful thinking at the time, Newton actually turned many of these dreams into reality. However, his father did not work on it anymore. Sakoman left the company in 1990. However, in 1991, the then-chief executive noticed the project in progress. AppJohn Sculley, who subsequently ordered its completion. That is why Newton is often referred to as Sculley's Macintosh, as he wanted to use it as a symbolic answer to another legendary product Applu – Jobs' Mac.

Sculley's Mac
Sculley wanted to create a personal digital assistant from Newton, which would help people in their daily lives. And, surprisingly, people actually listened to him. Despite many imperfections, it enjoyed considerable popularity, despite the fact that during its development, engineers faced significant problems and internal disagreements within the team, due to which its sales launch was constantly postponed. This product first saw the light of day at the end of May 1992. AppIt took more than a year for it to hit store shelves.
Thanks to the popularity of this product, he worked Apple in the following years on new generations, on which he gradually improved all the imperfections that plagued the previous versions. Even an almost perfect product (that is, at least for the time), however, did not survive the return of Jobs. It's a shame, because Newton was undeniably timeless, which probably no one appreciated at the time. The final nail in the coffin of this product was the arrival of the iPhone, which clearly indicated that the era of Newton-type toys was already dead.
As ios it's just fucking freebsd, so this is a palm thing. … Yeah, I know, it's not just japko stealing ideas, mikrosrot isn't much better…
Yes, of course, Newton is an obnoxious Palm, and let's talk about the red riding hood, the expert. I had the Newton 2000 and it was a blast. And that iOS it's fucking freebsd, boy, study something, not what the friend of the friend and the old mother of the father's son told you somewhere at the kofolke. Oh my, these bastards born after 2000 still amaze me with how uneducated and dumb as a cue they are.
I understand that you will be grazing with the biggest freckle under the Tatras with the Japanese. So please enlighten us here, what is the basis for this, I would like to learn something new, I am just a little girl who virtualized it for her studies and whatonec crammed into an older HP laptop (a great PC :-D), so I probably know absolutely nothing about that system :-D … So in short, a clever coder: macOS is based on nextu, which is based on freebsd. Ios is a trimmed mac os. When I first encountered posix systems (if that's what they are at all) I was a duck if I was even in the world... But for people like you it doesn't matter, all you need is something that is smarter than the owner :D .... siriiiii, wipe my ass :D
You are a good retard, newton was 3 years older than palm and mac os was almost 10 years older than your bastard, he probably wasn't paying attention in school.
Oh, and just by the way, letter recognition for newton has real palm...
bullshit farts, at least try the wiki before you start puking magore:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_version_history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP
Censorship or what?
Hm, you can't insert links here. tktk is right, google "history of macos" and "history of nextstep". Even with that palm tree, graffiti is a palm tree thing and apple This actually kept him from going bankrupt. NestAt first glance, it's actually good. A simpler user will be in awe of the simplicity and originality. applu (like Joer) and for the system engineer it is convenient in that it uses all Linux posix applications that exist, maximal slightly adjusts the configuration.
Don't pretend to be me lame.
mac os 1984 - freebsd 1993
Newton 1993 – Palm 1996
Graffiti was only a later alternative to the original apple reseni and by the way he copied the palm graffiti from xerox….
Just to clarify for the puzzlers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_version_history#/media/File:Unix_history-simple.svg
It's not freebsd but BSD 4.3 (Stolen or licensed? We'll probably never know). First Nextstep 1988
Palm 1992, an idea from xerox, but the implementation is my own, including the types, and that's why apple bought, to this day they are unsurpassed in typing speed.
A colleague succeeded, see the links above.
Oh yeah, even a cleaner can't do it. Well, never mind, let's leave it at that, people like you actually live us. Fun dude and pissed in the head. Then he cries on the phone that he needs to fix it right away :D Actually, we need exactly this guy, he usually pays well so he can see where he needs it, but otherwise he's left and totally stupid.... :D
that belonged to you, of course
But he can read well, you act like you don't know them :-) You cornered him and don't lose to these guys, he'll easily tell you that he saw Jobs yesterday just to keep his cool :D
1992 trolls
Retard, they were founded, palm pilot + palm os 1.0 = 1996.
I'm a retard myself, Palm Zoomer 1993. …….. 1996 was no longer the year of palm but of us robotics. You are so unbelievably stupid that I have never seen or remember anything like this. God, you can't even read the trimmed Czech wiki, let alone search in English materials.... Well, yes, without a view.
So you give it to him. Let him be or he'll burst a vein, you won't convince him anyway, he's an evangelist like a seamstress :D
Thick redneck :D
