We should count our blessings. Had Newton taken off, Apple would have had variant operating systems just like MS had WinCE and Windows. Instead, we have the iPhone, based off the OS X kernel, and the whole ecosystem benefited. I'm glad it went this direction.

Ironically, when Jobs went to develop iPod, many from the Newton team helped to develop it.
