Why was the Palm Pilot more successful than the
newton?
It was a useful peripheral for your desktop computer that had
vendor support for syncing to Windows and Mac. Newton tried
to be a standalone device that had minimal support for syncing to
Macs. The eMate was the worst of both worlds, along with ONLY selling
them into the education channel.
The first iPods only worked with MacOS. Sales didn't take off until
Windows support and the iTunes store.
