Apple says Newton's death is exaggerated

A letter from Sandy Benett (Vice President, Newton Systems Group) to developers asserts that: "An uninformed outsider's view of the situation coupled with relentless doom-n-gloom reports in the popular media could lead one to believe Apple was in the process of "shutting-down" the Newton division. This is not the case. The Newton platform is alive and well, and I hope we can count on your continued support."
