I agree with the above. I just recently got a 2100, after owning a couple of
130s over several years, and I will never look back. The 2100 is everything
the Newton should have been, and while the 130 is fine for basic stuff--it's
loaded with heap--you cannot play with all the goodies, such as
text-to-speech, wireless, mp3 playback, voice recognition, greyscale images,
web browsing, etc. At the price difference today, it just doesn't pay to get
a 130, IMNSHO. :-)
