Best PDA in history, hands down
I read about it, I paid for it, and now I have it. The Newton Messagepad, despite it's age, is possibly the best PDA ever created. It is superior to the competitors of it's day and the ipod, and is still even somewhat ahead of todays PDA's. Even though PALM offers a PDA with a color screen and a much smaller size, the Newton lashes back with a gorgeous large screen, a proffesional looking stylus, and an incredibly easy to use (and not to meantion the most 'User Friendly') operating system. It is a great buy and with a couple of games and Newtendo included, no recent PDA dares to try and match. Get one. You will not be disapointed.

Worth confused with Value
I saw someone post, basically an ad instead of a comment here regarding a 2x00 (I believe 2100). The person sent a lengthy list of items bundled with their 2x00, but they also wanted $2100 for it - seven years after it's discontinuation. For Pete's sake - it originally sold for $1100-$1200.

I feel I can speak from experience as a Mac user of 20 years, and an MP owner of 120, several 130, and now several 2100's. I've sold all our Newts except a few of the 2100's.

Although I value my Newts very much - I also don't confuse their worth with today's current PDA market . The Newt is awesome and still outperforms MANY PDA's, but lets face it folks - it's falling behind.

Regardless the fact the number of Newts I own along with all our accessories,software and gear (about 5x what this person has) there's no way I could get two grand for ALL my gear.

*MAYBE* a 2100 will be worth $2k in another 20 years, but PLEASE... don't confuse value with market worth. Be smart with your technology and honest with "worth" and "value." The Newton & Mac community is known for it's helpulness. Don't be one of the people who gives it a bad name.

my 2¢
(thanx)

A nice start
Though this so called PDA is a nice start, Apple needs to develop a kind of PDA with an OS-X compatible interface. Give this PDA word processing capabilities as well as an optional near full sized keyboard. This is an Apple concept, and is far beyond the hopes of any PC. Maybe the next device could play off of the I-Pod and new I-Mac buzz thats been generated.
