Without a doubt, the PIC-2000 would be a good choice. It actually has
consumer oriented software, syncing, built in modem, web browser and
email support...all that kind of stuff. It's got backlighting and runs
relatively fast. Nevertheless, I would say that a Newton is a better
organizer choice in general since it has more market penetration and
lost of, now free, software....plus an active support community.
