Absolutely. All smart phones and PDAs descend from the Newton. The term PDA did not even exist before the Newton, and was first used publicly by John Sculley. All of these people claiming prior art on all Apples patents simply do not understand the role Apple has played in the development of technology.
Even if the IP involved was PDA related the existence of the Newton wouldn't mean that prior art was impossible, but as it is in none of these cases is anybody asserting any PDA IP, so your point here is not only incorrect but also irrelevant.
