  7. Apple Newton’s Message Pad

  8. Newton MessagePad • Newton MessagePad, a tablet-PDA hybrid with handwriting recognition. • There was nothing else like it, but its ungainly size, , and hard-to-read screen relegated it to technology-cult status. • But its innovations lived on, with its handwriting recognition still used in the Mac OS X's Ink control panel that appears when a pen tablet is connected and that helped form the gesture technology used in the iPhone. • The Newton also inspired 1996's Palm Pilot, which used many of the Newton's ideas in a size that made it easy to carry around.

  9. Takeaways • You must meet all criteria (attractive, timely, durable, provides value) to ensure quality of opportunity • Experiment, prototype, and protect intellectual property (see Apple Newton example) • Prepare for imitators – what is unique about your offering?
