I found this photo, seems to be from a web design agency who did work
for Visible Interactive, showing their "iGo" handheld guide... It might
be too new though. I checked the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, and
it first archived this page in 2000.

But then I kept on digging and found the original Visible Interactive
site (or, at least, the first one archived), and that site has different
photos - especially the one with an actual hand holding the device
definitely matches a Newton wearing a slick neoprene case:

Perhaps the business case article changed the name of the device?
Anyways, there's also a nice list of projects that they did:
