The seller ("sassiemama", my goodness!) seems not to know or care what this is;
just that it's worth some buck to someone:
"This is the Newton Palm 2100 hand computer. It belonged to my ex and he left
 this to me along with all the bills. It is in good condition and comes with
 fresh batteries silver pen and Epson 144 Fax/Modem Card. GoodLuck!"
  (accompanied by a "spreadeagled" photo without the modem card, where
   curiously the right third of the screen seems darker, and the screen's
   rotated landscape left, with buttons left. Her ex was leftie?)

Newt duzn't git ony bloody rispect ony muh, pahdner! (bad south-german accent;-)
