To be honest, I'd be happy with higher contrast without colour, so as to
keep the good battery life. For example, if my Newt had the option of very
light green or even near-white print on a dark background, I'd be laughing.
Part of the beauty (for me) of the Newton is that it does what it does
*very* well, without the bells and whistles and with great battery life (an=
d
that amazing option of using "AA" batteries). If I want colour and
eye-candy, I have a PowerBook.
Of course, if they ever figure out a way to give us great colour with great
battery life and options, I'll be there with my arm and leg, though not wit=
