What does Apple's iPhone have in common with the failed Apple Newton of more than a decade ago? Nothing. Yet.

But I was reminded of the Newton lately and how, despite its current hot streak, Apple doesn't have an unblemished record when it comes to introducing innovative new devices. And the company may well be making some of the same mistakes now as it made in 1993 when it introduced Newton.
