Overall Impression
The Newton represented a new paradigm in computing. Unfortunately, the time wasn't right for such a game-changing device, but it helped pave the way for the modern mobile device. I've found my experience with the Newton to be surprisingly fun and interesting, and might go so far as to say that it may replace my standard yellow notebook that I use while traveling. The Newton is better than a Tablet PC because it has far greater battery life, is cheaper, lighter, and completely focused on being an easy to use PIM companion, and that's where it really excels. Sure, its capabilities are limited, but I have a newfound appreciation for this device, and I hope you do too having gone through this article.
