What specifically do you think the iPad inherited from the Newton, that didn't come to it through the iPhone/iPod Touch lineage?

  > What specifically do you think the iPad inherited from the Newton, that didn't come to it through the iPhone/iPod Touch lineage iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad all come from the Newton lineage. But the person I responded to said “iPod”. The iPod is far removed from iPhone / iPhone Touch / and iPad in terms of interaction modality, operating system, application platform, etc. The iPod doesn’t run iOS, is a media player not general purpose computing device, like the others and their ancestor, the Newton.

    iPod touch came out in 2007 and ran iOS, 3 years before the iPad. iPad was basically a big iPod touch, which was basically an iPhone with no modem.

    The person you responded to did say "iPod" but they surely meant iPod Touch. It's an easy mistake to make, you even made a similar mistake above writing "iPhone" when you meant "iPod" so very easy to do: > iPhone / iPhone Touch / and iPad
