Works very good with NOKIA card phone 2.0 and requires an additional SIM
card.

PowerTrans from http://www.travel-cs.com

Get a Farallon PN895 with the thin cable too. The 2 port hub consumes to
much energy.

Newton Connection Utilities is a must have:

CAD is not really possible. It's sort of handdrawing with straigthened lines
what's achievable on the Newton. I recommend to use the normal Notepad for
skeches or the NewtonWorks extension WorksDraw which adds several very
useful tools. However, there's no means to enter or edit graphical shapes
with exact dimensions nor is there something like DXF import/export. Also
the 3D capabilities have never been more addressed than with a few demo
programs.
Many very useful Works additions you'll find here:
