For instance a diagram is in its own box and cannot have text flowing around it. Same goes with sketches. Nebo has some ideas that seem taken directly from the Newton, like scribble out to erase a word, but many other gestures are less intuitive and user friendly (like capitalizing the first letter of a word, copy/paste, etc.). Writing on the Newton is just so much more natural. Also there is a big difference, in my opinion, in using an app that recognizes your hand written notes in as opposed to an operating system that was designed from the ground up to be used with a pen and recognize hand written text and act upon it.
