[NTLK] CNET UK: Newton vs iPhone

Mind you, like the Newton, but what is superficial about the iPhone screen?  It can play video, color, and even touch?

What is not functional about that?

Interesting, Grant.  But I have to admit, it frustrates me when people
compare the iPhone's pretty but superficial screen with the Newton's screen
that actually can do something useful.  It's like comparing a
pistol-twirling "gunslinger" on Ye Olde Wild West Dude Ranch with a real
gunfighter like John Wesley Hardin or Wyatt Earp.
