fran, do you know where I can get a newton 2100 for some decent money. I live in Switzerland...so things are a little bit more complicated.

good luck!
newton rocks!
Yet it is clear that the technology was weel ahead of anything at to come out then and just about everything since (untill very recently)
People clamour for a tablet. I think tablets stink. Newton, though, might be the perfect PDA/tablet device. It's small, you can hold it with one hand. It's big, you can't just put it in any pocket, but you can actually read the screen!
Today, take one StrongArm proc, a case of the same length and width (but thinner), a li-poly battery, and as much edge-to-edge screen as can possibly be fit into the former Newton's dimensions (high dpi, high contrast reflective screen, 720x480) and some advanced media reader technology, and you would get a very good tablet device.
Too bad it isn't happening.
