Yes, the iPAQ is heavy...if the object is to put it in your pocket, not in a
case.
Newtons are too big to put in a pocket...unless you're like a size 56XXXXL
:) We all realize that. But the iPAQ is obviously made in the form factor
of a Palm - pocket-sized - and it's just too darn heavy for that. Two ounces
do make a difference.
How do I know? I put it in my own shirt pocket. It's TOO HEAVY! :)

wireless card inserted? Well, then yes, it will weigh much more then... but
then that's comparing apples and oranges isn't it?

The decision Newton owners are faced with is not whether an iPAQ is better
than a Palm, right? Being used to a MP2100 makes the iPAQ VERY LIGHT.
