Yes, there are always rumors in the electronics world. This one has a little bit of a backstory that started in the early 90's, back when Apple released an electronic message pad called the Newton.

It was ahead of its time with handwriting recognition software and even a pop-up QWERTY keyboard. However, it had a high price and so it did not last long on the market.

However, the rumor is that the Newton could be making a comeback! Apple might be looking to create a new Newton with a 800 x 400 touchscreen, that will be one great Ultra Mobile Computer (UMC). Is it possible it will be the next iphone?
