[NTLK] Who here thinks the iPad is a worthy replacement for the Newton?

[Martin Gomez]

The BEST description I found about the iPad (and it was made way before it

OTOH, I will keep using my MP2100 until Apple (or someone else) comes with a
device as comfortable to carry arround, as easy to use and as powerfull as
the Newton.
The only one i've seen that comes close to it is the Entouradge eDGe (
