Hey!!!! The 2100 is far less bulky and lighter than those new UMPCs and the
new Sony equivalents! And keep in mind that those are the true successors of
the Newton, not the Palm and Windows Mobile devices, which are just gadgets.
When compared this way, the Newton wins hands-down! So think of your Newton
as a laptop replacement, not a PDA.
