This year's ‘must have’ item

On May 29, 1992, Apple launched the first personal digital assistant (PDA) onto the market, the Apple Newton. Apple CEO of the time John Sculley said it was "nothing less than a revolution," He was right; however, Apple's timing was poor. The product was underdone, expensive and ultimately superseded by the much more successful 3M ranges of PWAs. Apple eventually learned from this experience and made sure they got the release of the iPhone just right. The rest, as they say, is history.
