My point, exactly, Mike! "It fits the bill." IMHO that's why we use anything. It's not that it has the most functionality, like video messaging or WIFI or whatever - it that it does what we want it to. In my case, I want it to be fun, introduce me to something new, let me read a book or two, and be there to pass on to my son when he is ready. I don't need a 2100 for that.
To set the record straight, I didn't mean to imply that Palms are better. I like to use my Palm because it is shirt-pocket small (hence, always with me), and let's me bring fairly hi-res color pics and videos of my kids with me (the better to bore others with).
I bought the MP100 because it better "fit the bill" for reading books by my bedside - larger screen, inline pic support (diagrams, what have you).

I'll have to say yes to that, because that's the only reason I use my
Newton - it fits the bill.
But anyway, I'm sure people have their reasons for not upgrading to an
MP2k, just like I have my reasons for not "upgrading" to a Palm.
