The PDA Mac rumor is back

Posted by Scott Laird Tue, 08 Mar 2005 19:07:56 GMT

Oh no, not again. Macrumors is running yet another palmtop/pda/tablet Mac rumor. I thought they’d all been killed off years ago. Here are the details:

Sources who claim to have see one have commented to the PowerPage that an internal planning spec details that the new machines runs a stripped-down flavor of Mac OS X. We’re told that it will finally utilize Apple’s Inkwell technology to “write anywhere” and neatly fold into your pocket - rather like an enlarged Motorola RAZR V3 mobile phone with a keyboard.

I’d probably love to have one, but I’m completely incapable of getting excited over this sort of rumor anymore.

    Anyone hear anything about it?

    News to me, although this sort of thing comes up every few years. It’s hard to see how this one would work–would Sony or Apple run the new company. It’s hard to see Jobs not running things, but Sony just named a new head last week. I’d be surprised if this really happens.

    A bit more research–the 29hdnetwork.com bit above looks an awful lot like astroturf–Google’s barely heard of the site, and the same text is showing up all over the net. For example, see http://macslash.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/14/1557205

    I want to know when or if it will come out, and how much it will cost
