Hey, Apple: Remember the Newton before releasing iPhone

David Haskin put up an interesting piece on the ComputerWorld Blogs that is worth reading.  History does repeat itself and if Apple is not careful, it may well happen again.

In part, David said:

… I was reminded of the Newton lately and how, despite its current hot streak, Apple doesn’t have an unblemished record when it comes to introducing innovative new devices. And the company may well be making some of the same mistakes now as it made in 1993 when it introduced Newton.

Apple seems to be repeating the cycle again with iPhone, developing what is undoubtedly an advanced product with a remarkable interface and overcharging for it. A recent survey found that a minuscule number of consumers would pay $500 for a 4 GB iPhone.
