Oh please please please! Forgettable? Regrettable? What in god's name are you talking about?

Are you talking about the mobile OS that was next to RIM dominating the business world?

Are you talking about the Tablet PCs that are still being sold? Why do Apple fanboys think that the Table PC is a failure? Granted, they might be too expensive and they are a niche market, but they are still there and they keep getting better and better.

The Ultramobile PCs had the very same problem, too expensive, too slow. The technology simply was not there at the time.

Courier? Vapor? Do you really have to rationalize your fear of MS actually making something this good by calling it vaporware?

This article is crap. 12 years of Apple innovation? Yeah, the Newton and Pippin were great innovators! They changed the world!
