Is the iPhone (& Moto Droid) the bastard children of the Newton?

It's amazing how much smaller it is yet how much more is packed into it. I wonder what Apple would have thought if you could take a 3GS back in time to when the Message Pad was cutting edge tech 
Here's a great video of the Newton. Quite ahead of it's time. Arguably, in some ways, it's still ahead of the curve.

Btw what is that jailbroken theme on your iPhone there? Looks beautiful.

It's a slightly modded iVillain theme. I saw it on the" post your home page" thread and fell in love with it

I'm usually not into theming the iPhone but that theme is gorgeous. What modifications did you do to it?
Just the icons on the bottom. Originally it had just three. Two small ones and one large centre one. Because of the way it had been "fiddled"(adding transparent pixels to the icons) to get the three buttons to fit, it made it so you had to touch the screen away from the side icons to get them to work. If you pressed directly on them nothing happened.
Plus the original had a little tab thing on the lower right that is suppose to be a handle to pull the next screen across. I got rid of that too
That iPhone theme is based on HTC's Sense UI for their Android (and soon, WM) phones.
It's one of the reasons why people are hot for an HTC Hero.
