This has been a very intriguing discussion, and not knowing exactly
how/where to jump in, I'm replying to this message by Dennis.

I don't really understand all the animosity against the iPhone. Apart
from personal preferences, habits, and ways of using all these
devices, one thing seems clear to me: the iPhone and the Newton
complement each other. iPhone is strong where the Newton is weak
(above all: Wireless connectivity and ease of network setup; size;
tech specs; audio/video; phone capabilities), and the Newton still has
strong points over the iPhone (handwriting recognition, and all
handwriting-related capabilities and possibilities -- taking notes and
even doodling is quite pleasant on the big screen of the MP2000 and
2100).

So I use both, why not? The iPhone fits in my shirt pocket; the Newton
in my bag / small backpack. The two get along very well and both fit
even better in my workflow, where I can take advantage of the best of
both worlds.

Cheers
Rick
