Apple Newton Museum Closing Its Doors, Selling Collection

A web site dedicated to the original PDA is shutting down and selling off its collection.

Apple's Newton line of handhelds were some of the first on the market, and the company's CEO John Sculley even coined the term "PDA." But the computer maker withdrew from the handheld market in 1998.

Nevertheless, diehard fans have kept the Newton alive. Lots of third-party software releases have allowed these handhelds to perform functions that their creators never imagined.

Despite this, the Newton Museum is giving up the ghost and actioning off its entire collection.
