All that said, though, while I did have a new
first-run Newton, I very
often wished it was faster. Most of my Newton opinions are based on the
MP2000/MP2100 machines, which were just plain amazing in nearly every
way...once again, given the limitations of the technology of the day.
I have a 2100 and an eMate. I think they are beautiful machines.
But I use my AlphaSmart Dana (PalmOS 4 in an eMate-like form factor) because
it runs all my PalmOS software, I can write apps on it with Plua, and it
even has WiFi, SD card slots and USB. And AlphaSmart has never skimped on
keyboards, even though the eMate has a very good keyboard.
