If wishes were horses....
The idea that will never die has simply morphed. Instead of a return of the Newton or Apple-branded PDA, it is now takes the form of a "slim laptop." But Apple already has its mobile computing solution, the iPhone and iPod Touch. What would this slim laptop do that the Apple iPhone or iPod Touch cannot do? Show movies? WiFi Internet? Run applications?

Expect to see the new Developers environment for iPhone and iPod Touch bringing a host of new applications. Apple laptops in their current forms are still selling quite handily. Why would Apple mess with success at this point?
