I think they wish is that they re-invent the Newton the way iPod re-invented MP3 players.

There's a huge difference in that the MP3 player market was tiny when the iPod came along and revolutionized the field. The cell phone arena is pretty big (nearly saturated), and the entrenched devices are pretty good, not at all like the terrible mp3 players that were available when the iPod was introduced.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but phones go with phone numbers, and until they replace that with the equivalent of universal buddies or email addresses, I'm still punching lots of numbers.

Not in my experience. Ever since I got a cell phone, I pretty much only dial out of my contact list. When I pick up a landline, I have no idea what to do, since I haven't had to remember a phone number in years!
