This is the first consumer electronics device I have ever seen that actually made me think “I am living in the future.” Hopefully, (unlikely) it will be affordable.

I thought the same thing. It really is one of the first major devices out in the nearish future that made me think, “wow, it really is the future.”
That being said, it really is just a next-generation Newton. Honestly I’m not entirely sure that Apple didn’t really just want to make that, and simply emphasized the phone aspect so that business-types would understand it.
