The Apple iWalk

Looks like Apple just cant keep a secret. The details of what most people are pretty sure is their next big announcement have been leaked a few places. Jason pointed the way to this page. It looks like in addition to the mobile MP3 player market the Apple folks are now launching a PDA being called the iWalk. Looks quite a bit like the Compaq iPaq.

Apple fans should be happy to hear that the iWalk is not based on the Palm OS. The OS shown in the video looks like a blend between traditional PDA operating systems and Apple's OS X. Some other interesting observations: The iWalk accepts handwriting input with a silver stylus. The user is able to write on the entire screen to input information, and is not limited to a small "text box" like of the Palm line of PDAs. The iWalk is larger than PDAs currently on the market, with the majority of the extra size being given to screen real-estate.
