When Apple discontinued the Newton a few months back
there was a small
protest held by Newton users and developers at Apple headquarters. At
this Apple past around wooden Newtons for the people to look at it. I
don't know if any have been released outside the company, though it
wouldn't suprise me if some disappeared during the rally.
I recall reading that John Sculley used these as demonstratative
prototypes but that they didn't actually do anything, i.e. they were just
carved blocks of wood.
