Apple Newton PDA: Rare Apple Newton PDA Sells for Nice Sum Online

“NOTE: As an amendment to this listing, I have had several emails from serious Apple collectors who have informed me that this may not be a prototype, but rather an extremely limited production model given to developers at an Apple conference.  They say this is still a very unusual item and highly collectible (I’ve been watching for another one to pop up on eBay for years with no results).  I received conflicting estimates as to how many were actually produced; the lowest I was told was 150, the highest only 1200.”

On a side note, it is important to add a couple of things. First and foremost, the Newtown is known to be one of the company’s biggest failures of all time. Yes, even Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has missed the target in the past.

Additionally, the device was produced during the period in which Steve Jobs was not employed by the company.
