If you used it for a couple of days, it would be a lot easier. My
wife has been using it since december '07 and now swears by it. Her
MP120 has gone by the wayside.
Also, the iPhone when "Jailbroken" has a LOT of software available
including note organizers, sketch pad, book readers, etc.
It's pretty slick, it has very good battery life, it syncs smoothly
with the Mac (and the PC I suppose), and of course it has pretty
dandy battery life unlike so many other supposed Newton contenders.
Sure I miss the stylus and the metaphor of the newton, but the
iphone/ipod touch is incredibly useable and useful.
