I use my MessagePad 2100 every day as well and for many of the same
tasks. It's mostly my address book and calendar, but I also use it for
all my meeting notes, Adam Tow's Alarm Clock wakes me up every
morning, I keep track of my finances with PocketMoney, and
occasionally catch up on Daring Fireball or read a book when on the
road.

I've got it decked out with WiFi and BlueTooth, but I have to admit
that since going BlueTooth I don't really use WiFi except to install
large packages (e.g. books, mp3s, etc.) or to sync the clock. I send
meeting notes, Name & Dates entries between my MacBook Pro and the
Newton constantly and even keep my calendar in sync (manually) with
Google Calendar by importing the Dates entries into it.

I used to also use Mail V for email, but since switching to Gmail I no
longer have the nice use-anywhere, non-SSL IMAP & SMTP access that my
.Mac account used to provide. But, let's face it, I can probably find
a computer that can access Gmail's web interface anywhere I go at this
point.
