iPhone + Newton = ?

It was bound to happen… Apple is close to announcing an iPhone-like tablet device!

“Roughly a decade after terminating production of its Newton personal digital assistant, Apple is reportedly planning a return to the PDA market, putting the finishing touches on a touch-based device in the tradition of the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Citing sources close to the project, AppleInsider reports that the as-yet-unnamed PDA runs an embedded version of Apple’s Mac OS X Leopard platform–the device is described as an ultra-thin “slate” resembling the iPhone, but at 1.5 times the size and with an approximate 720×480 high-resolution display that spans virtually the entire surface.”
For the love of usability geeks everywhere, please make it a bit more grippable! Curved aluminum edges just don’t cut it in my opinion.
