Apparently the Newton doesn't fall very far from the Apple tree: Cupertino watchers AppleInsider are reporting that Apple has a project underway to develop a minitablet computer based on the OS X operating system it has developed for the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
Intel is developing its own take on the mini-tablet, with a new ultra-mobile PC platform to be announced at this week's Intel Developer Forum in Beijing. The big surprise? It's based on Linux.
Seeking to spur growth in the mini-tablet market, Intel today unveiled its new Ultra Mobile 2007 'McCaslin' platform for Windows and Linux devices.
Ubuntu backer Canonical has pinned down some broad feature lists for its upcoming version of Linux for smaller mobile devices.
Intel could not have signalled its target for the next five years any more clearly than it did at last week's Intel Developer Forum. It wants to make gains in mobile phones, where competition is stiffer.
Its excellent, sleek design doesn't cover for its sluggish performance.
